September Hive Garden Journal - a failed start

in HiveGarden17 days ago

I planned and started in August but then everything has turned out differently, but I am not giving up.

In first week of August, I decided to put Chrysanthemums saplings for this year, for which I preserved few mother plants and took care of them, about which I shared in this post in late July.

Even though the pots were in that abandoned place, I still started the work, with the kid coming to help me. This place is full of mosquitoes, so I had to arrange some smoke before I could work, it was very painful, but I did not want to loose the time.

The mother plants grew really well, and I thought to have as many saplings as I could, so that they can be used by the society free of cost. Each plant costs 30 rupees so they could save that money.

For that reason, I had many big pots ready - you just put these saplings and leave them for couple of weeks to grow.

Without smoke, it was literally impossible to work there - the mosquitoes would easily take you to hospital.

I have been involving the boy in my garden activities so that he gets the idea and gets interested in these activities - their generation desperately needs that.

And look at the survival rate after 24 days - it was not bad even though the weather has been horrible this year. It has been continuously raining for last two months and that was not a good sign for the saplings placed under trees at this abandoned place. I thought, it will be sunny and this place will be good, but then continuous rain destroyed the plan. It seems our season is getting shifted because of global warming effects.

So I decided to bring these pots out, so that these saplings can grow better under sunshine. But then the outside park was full of grass and I called the society members to understand their plan for this year. If you remember, they wanted to convert the area to a play ground and ruined the entire garden, but nothing has happened since then (almost more than 8 months) - people who are in charge have little interest. When I asked them do we again start gardening, they were still reserved about their decision - hold on, and don't plant anything directly. However you can keep your pots and if needed we can transfer them to the other side.

Such a shame - even after me following with them for last three months, they still don't know what to do. There was no way I could clean the place, so I called on the same person who worked last year to clean up and transfer the pots, more to come on that....

Sometimes "people in charge" are poor leaders that is what it sounds like from your description. I like the images, they provide a lot of visual context.

I know your garden are part of your life. You very care your garden. That reason this are grow very nice. Keep it up.

Looking very nice! We are at the point where everything is dying here. I wish I had a garden as nice as yours.

The rain and global warming has really affected the vegetation this season. Who know what we have to see in future. Btw great blog and well published 👍

Exposing pots with small plants to sunlight is actually very important for the growth of the plants. You can expect a good harvest in the future.

You have worked very hard for these chickens, and the pictures clearly show that you did not give up despite the situation. Really inspiring.

You are really doing a very great job on this garden and I am so sure it will bring result

That's a good survival rate for the samplings!

Burocrats and people on top don't care for out problems and even less for plants!

I love to see how your plants grow. It’s a wonderful journey
Keep it up!

What you did was remarkable, because you didn't give up despite the difficult conditions of mosquitoes, rain, and delays from officials. My advice to you is to focus more on what's within your control: take care of the seedlings in the pots, away from the whims of others' decisions.

Your garden is beautiful sir. You are doing well sir

Honestly, there are people who, let's say, don't care much about gardening and they break the dreams of others without caring about anything. I hope they clean everything up very well and of course they allow them to have their plants in that place.

The efforts you put planting in your garden is indeed amazing. It will yield a good result at the end.Well done sir.

That's right, my friend, the important thing is to never give up in the face of obstacles that appear along the way and you will surely obtain some beautiful Chrysanthemum flowers soon when you receive permission to have your plants where you want.

It's great that you involve your child in gardening activities. At the same time, you should be very careful with those mosquitoes that could transmit diseases. The important thing is to work in the garden and, with permission, obtain the best plants possible. How much is 30 rupees in dollars?

Seeing your hard work and dedication made me really happy. Taking care of such a big garden is not an easy task. I have a small garden at my home, and taking care of it is not easy for me at all.

Look at my garden

Glad that you're never giving up. Recently has been difficult for you but I hope you'll keep going with gardening.

Same here, gardening is difficult because the weather is so cruel now.

I can relate as a farmer. Gardening is not easy, but I admire your effort to keep going. Just be careful with the mosquitoes, it’s hard if someone gets dengue.

Your hard work to grow Chrysanthemums despite the mosquitoes is amazing. It's so kind of you to share them with the community.

lookin great! :)
