Have you thought of converting your small vacant space at the back of your home into a green area to put into action your gardening talent? Imagine transforming that space into a little Eden within your easy reach anytime you wish to. You will see and appreciate the beauty of the produce of a green thumb in you once the seeds you have planted started to sprout and inch its way up every morning as you water them by yourself.
As you are figuring out all of these in your mind, you might start measuring that open space by your normal pacing of your feet both width and length to have an idea of how many square meters do you have in your hand to start with, while listing in your mind and one by one jot them down in a piece of paper the tools you might need to start your noble task to transform this unproductive space into a vegetables haven combined with a mixture of organic gardening technique with some herbal concentration. Of course, tomatoes, carrots, garlic, potatoes, cucumber, and other short duration crops would have occupied your notes of what to produce on that petty farm inside your backyard.
The small space that you might have is the perfect fit for you as a beginner since gardening is not that easy as you may think. It needs your dedication to break a not so good pliable ground as you might have expected that could cause blisters in your hand as you plow it with a pick or digging bar. Countless sweating hours would be spent to weed out the place after breaking it down in preparation for seed bed and the planting areas. A watering hose would be added to the area to assure your seed to grow and some sunlight and a shed to protect them from consistent water drops in case rain will visit your area.
It would indeed be worth your couple of weeks efforts when you will witness how fast your greens have grown each passing day within those weeks and you will start looking for trellis materials for your tomatoes, and cucumbers while you will be kept busy to loose some soil around the root area of your root crops to help them build their roots for better cropping. Every morning you will be excited to see improvements and watch for insects that would try to discourage you to go on doing the right way of nurturing your vegetables every day. After a month's daily routine of weeding and watering, you could rate your performance if your plan to convert that small space into a little paradise has come to fruition. Have your tomatoes and cucumbers landed on your dining plates freshly served direct from the garden?
Or have you felt better as compared when you just stayed there in your house doing nothing than now that you were practically doing yourself a favor by sweating out without the rigors of physical exercises.
Without knowing it, you have accomplished two things, one by producing and the other is exercising. Why not start now the converting?
