Every time I visit my parents, I am deeply moved by their way of life. They have a small garden at home, lush and vibrant with various vegetables growing throughout the year. Tending the soil, weeding, and picking fresh produce with my mom has become one of the moments I cherish most during my visits.
In fact, my mom only started learning to grow vegetables after she retired. She often says that this sustainable lifestyle not only allows her to escape the hustle and bustle of city life but also brings her endless joy. She always smiles and tells me that while her small efforts may seem insignificant, every little bit counts when it comes to caring for our planet.
This way of living is simple yet fulfilling. It nourishes both our bodies and our souls. Every time I step into their garden, I feel a rare sense of peace and grounding. That small patch of land not only reflects nature’s generosity but also embodies their love for life and their sense of responsibility toward the world.
Geez! I wish I could have my own garden in the future haha, a big one! After my mom retired, she also started build her own garden in our house’s balcony, every morning the first thing that she does is to look after her plants, not say ‘moring’ to me, I become her second daughter in her mind right after the garden
What a positive life attitude! Your parents’ lifestyle sounds so inspiring and peaceful—it’s amazing how something as simple as a garden can bring so much joy and meaning. I love how your mom found this passion after retiring; it’s proof that it’s never too late to start something new and impactful.
I am really willing to start my own garden someday in the future.
Maybe I should take a little more growing tips from my parents now. I am totally a rookie now.
Sure~ To be honest, homegrown vegetables are incredibly flavorful, sweet, and fresh, very different from the packaged vegetables you buy in the supermarket.
Wow, your parents’ garden sounds like a true sanctuary, and I love how your mom found so much joy and fulfillment in growing her own vegetables after retiring. It’s a reminder that even small steps, like tending a little garden, can make a big difference for the planet.
Thank you so much! It really is like a little sanctuary—there’s just something so peaceful about being surrounded by all that greenery. And you’re absolutely right; it’s amazing how small, simple things like gardening can have such a meaningful impact. I think my mom would be so happy to hear that her little garden has inspired others too!
Awesome! I also grow some vegetables at home, and it feels so rewarding and calming. There’s a special kind of satisfaction in watching the plants thrive and being able to harvest them. It’s not just healthier, but it also feels like a small way to connect more with nature. Big respect to your mom for starting this journey,it’s super inspiring
Yeah, I think that’s the main reason so many people are drawn to planting their own veggies and having a garden. They totally enjoy the satisfaction, put in a lot of effort, and take joy in watching them grow day by day.
They are luffa acutangula.
