Planting the seeds of our future

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Life is a cycle, but it can be more than one cycle.

We plant seeds, we nurture them while they are sprouting until they become seedlings, we maintain them free from harmful pests while nourishing them with nutrients, we then enjoy the produce during harvest time, then we plant new seeds again...from the same fruits they gave us.. whether it's vegetables, fruits or others via several ways of propagation.

But remember that planting new seeds doesn't mean we have to settle for what we have right now. We don't need to wait until our current plants have withered and died. We can always plant new seeds,or cuttings, while we are still enjoying bountiful harvests from our first plants.

Thank you also to the Bureau of Plant Industry of the Department of Agriculture for sending over to our home a bunch of seeds - upland kangkong, okra, upo, pechay and mustasa.

I just wish I have enough for an urban garden or a small farm.

It would be nice if we could all be self-sustaining or able to grow our own food, at least able to harvest what we need on a daily basis or just some of the ingredients we need to supplement our daily food needs.

The future will be brighter for us if we are capable of surviving even without the comforts of a market or grocery where we buy our food. It's time we learn how to grow our own food.
