Strength in nature 7/23/2017

In this spring, in May, I planted some herbal and vegetable seeds. But for some reasons, the majority of my seeds did not germinate. I started all the seeds indoors. Then, after some of them germinated, I transplanted them to outdoors.

The successful germinated seeds were only cilantro, wheat grass, and lemon basil. Among them, there were some seeds that I didn’t recognize at the beginning. They looked pretty when they were just germinated. So I didn’t pull them out when the thinning out and weeding process.

Today, when my family was out in the garden, my husband took a look of the unknown plants. They were healthy and growing taller, up to 12 inch (30 cm) high. My husband asked me why I left these weeds growing. He showed me the sharp spikes between stems. With his pointing, I finally recognized they were weeds. I see these plants (some of them are big trees) in our closest jungle area.

We pulled the weeds out from the garden. Their roots were thick and long, rooted deeply and firmly to the ground. It gave me a good laugh to know these weeds thanked me every time I watered them.

I admired on how the nature works. I apologized them for taking them off from the ground. Sorry guys, but I need to take you guys off, so that my cilantro can grow.

Any feedback? (^^♪
