Our garden of this year has been doing pretty good. We bought five plants of jalapeno, lettuce, tomato, okra, and parsley on May 20th. These plants are growing very well. We already started harvesting jalapeno, lettuce, okra, and parsley almost every day. Tomatoes took very long. It took almost two months to become ready to harvest. Our first tomato had finally ripen and we harvested it on July 21st. Since the first day, we have been blessed with harvesting tomatoes every day. Our tomatoes are not red but yellow. They grow up to the size of 3-inch and come out heavy. It has become my pleasure to go check our garden every morning. I need to bring my bamboo basket for harvesting because they will overflow from my both hands.
On the other hand, the seven seeds of cucumber, eggplant, corn, tomato, bell pepper, peas, and radish have not grown well. Only some corns and radishes are still growing, but they haven’t grown enough to harvest yet.
It was good that we decided to start our gardening this year. It gives us comfort and joy.

Today was my 24th day on reading chapter 9 of “The Greatest Miracle In The World” By Og Mandino. Today, the following sentence deeply came into my conscious.
“And even should love not be returned it is not lost, for love not reciprocated will flow back to you and soften and purify your heart.”
