Life’s Lessons

Gardening is one of my hobbies back then. I learned to love it from my parents. My mother, growing ornamental and flowering plants and my father, growing vegetables and herbs. My first garden consist of orchids and anthuriums. Then came san francisco’s, roses, cactuses, bromeliads, and euphorbias. With so many varieties, I really had a hard time identifying and memorizing each especially the bromeliads for they almost have the same color especially when planting the pups. What I did is to place a plastic strip wherein the plant’s name is written that served as a marker or write the plant’s name at the back of one of its leaves. This has made gardening a lot easier for me. Lately, Daddy asked where he could buy the markers like the one I used for his garden. The idea of organizing his garden is good but I don’t think what I used would be effective for what he needs is a marker durable enough to sustain wheather changes. Anyhow, I guess it is more convenient for him to try the metal garden marker. It would be  a lot easier for him to organize his garden using the plant stakes that come in different sizes. These stakes are reusable so he can save time (preparing for my improvised garden marker) and money. Same with the plant stakes, the plant labels also come in different sizes. This is a good innovation that would definitely help people easily organize their gardens in a more presentable way.
