avatar
Hello ¨passionate¨ of these wonderful ¨AmazingNatureCommunity¨:  Happy to join you in this third edition of the month; I really like this type of challenge because it allows me to learn about other people's experiences, and have the opportunity to share yours; I thank our friend @adalger for giving us the opportunity to participate every week in the ¨AmazingNatureContest¨:

Life is like a "path" of many turns, with curves and contra curves, which requires greater caution where we must slow down to avoid accidents, especially when the days are gray, and visibility is low, you never know what you will find later. Life is the same; More than a year ago we had a very different life, who would have thought that we would spend a year locked up in our homes;

This confinement generated a lot of free time, ideal to spend with the family, however, the months passed and the good was no longer good, having free time requires looking for something to do in it; Agriculture is ideal for the times in which we live, we can do it as a family, and obtain a benefit from what we do, in addition to the satisfaction of feeding your family with the fruits that your hands have sown; This is one of the reasons why I love agriculture; I have many plants in the garden, but this time I am going to show you some

These plants that you see here are known as ¨mandiocas¨, however, in other parts of the world it is known by other names such as ¨cassabas¨ or ¨yuca¨; It is a very ¨nutritive¨ food, it has several very healthy attributes for our body, it is very easy to plant, it adapts to any type of ¨soil¨ it is very resistant to high ¨temperatures¨ and to ¨drought¨; The "roots" are what people consume, while the "stem" and its "leaves" is a good food for animals; In some countries it is being used to build "biodegradable" bags and replace "plastic"; In my province it is a very commercial crop, with the "starch" that it contains, "flour" is made and this allows many edible products to be made

The ¨sandia¨ is another plant that adapts very well in this part of the world, it is very easy to sow, the good thing is that you can make them from the ¨seed¨ of the same fruit it consumes

You just have to let it dry, and following a few simple steps you will obtain this exquisite fruit; In addition to being delicious, it provides many benefits to our body, as its composition is practically "water", it is ideal for areas like this where "heat" predominates. People who work in the field consume it, in addition to a delicious dessert, to combat the "Dehydration"; Here we use them to make different types of food, such as jam, juices and different drinks; Just a recommendation when sowing, the "irrigation" is very important, your "soil" must be permanently "humid"

Sowing the ¨morrones¨ plant is extremely easy, it is sown from the ¨seeds¨ of the fruits that you buy at the ¨green shop¨; The good thing about this plant is that it adapts to your possibilities, it does not require much space, which is ideal for sowing in the garden, or in a pot and having it in a window or on the balcony; You just need the "water" to "drain" very well; The ¨tierra¨ ¨mix¨ is very easy to do, you only need ¨black earth¨, ¨leaves¨ and ¨dried sticks¨ ¨ cow manure¨ or ¨horse¨, as you can read, you don't have to spend ¨ money in "fertilizer" costs that do so much damage to the land and its fruits; It has many benefits for our body, which makes it a very healthy vegetable

I acquired my ¨love¨ and ¨knowledge¨ for agriculture before I started walking, my parents took me to the garden as a baby, I learned all the ¨procedures¨ from them since ¨treatment¨ of the ¨floor¨, even ¨recipes¨ to use in the ¨kitchen¨ These photographs were taken with a ¨Samsung¨ 12.2 ¨Mega¨ ¨pixels¨ camera

Hermosa publicación amigo @jlufer. Me encanta la agricultura, cuando vivía en el campo con mis padres aprendí a sembrar Yuca, ocumo, auyama, lechosa y maíz. Esto es maravilloso comer de las cosas que uno mismo siembra. Felicidades.

Finding right food source to plant in a region is rewarding when bearing foods for the table. Good time spent outdoors cultivating and finding time as a family working together @jlufer

hello dear friend @joanstewart good afternoon
You are very right, agriculture is ideal to do it as a family, also together we can enjoy the fruits that we have harvested. There is nothing more rewarding than that.

We grew up planting and pruning the garden, it is good to see people going back to doing these tasks together, enjoying the fruits of their labour later together.
