Green in My Hands || Gardening || Dinolipi

I am born with green fingers as my mom and dad both love to grow plants and trees. My pa never leaves a chance to bring home new plants from the market or nursery. His love for seasonal flowers is immense, and my ma's love for flowering plants is for puja purposes. He finds his duty to wake up in the morning while walking on the terrace, watering the plants, and remove dry leaves. In the summers, the morning are hotter, so he shifts that duty in the evening when he waters the terrace floor after he finishes with plants.

My Ma has much love for gardening since childhood, she had a small garden of her own where she lived in her life. She takes great care starting from planting, uprooting weeds, chopping unwanted twigs and branches, sometimes watering. In our new house, we farmed kumro(pumpkin), sheem(broad beans), and lau(bottle gourd), though best was the five big pumpkins. We had a ranna puja in our village, we had provided that for prasadam. There also my ma and pa had planted many vegetable plants around the house and few trees in the small bagaan a little distance from the house.

Finally, today I had the leisure getting my hands green, I scrubbed the soil for aeration of the roots. I watered the plants. It took a lot of time actually to water the plants because overwatering might led to the rotting of roots and less watering might stunt the growth.
