Gardeners possess a unique combination of traits. They appreciate the unpredictability of Mother Nature and the ambition to cultivate plants that may or may not reach maturity. If plants survive, gardeners are wholeheartedly generous and will proudly share their generosity with others. As an observer, you will naturally notice changes in your plants and in the climate.
With more time and experience, you'll be able to predict some of the problems that occur with your plants before they occur. Over time, this will lead to a better ability to adapt to what the climate or nature has in store for you. What you said about gardening, teaching patience, is absolutely true for me. I am one of those people whose mind never stops, who have a bad habit of not focusing on what I do (or of doing too many things at once) and of missing out on half of the experiences I am experiencing, because I am not present.
Gardening has shown me how to slow down, be patient and be present in my life. It makes me think of the old adage, “Success in life is the result of good judgment. Good judgment is often the result of experience. Experience is the result of poor judgment.
Perhaps it could be adapted to “Success in the garden is the result of experience. The experience is the result of failure in the garden. People, who are gardeners at heart, have many great virtues. They are a unique blend of patience, vision, creativity, wisdom and kindness.
And, their never-ending propensity for love is surely one of those qualities. I remember that my grandmother was the best planter of all time, the greenest (she was one of those “young ladies “who appropriated an African violet leaf and grew the most incredible plant), but I bet you that even she had some problems with crunchy plants. Especially considering the recent discussions in the world of gardening blogs, you have wonderfully expressed what (I think) needed to be said. It is an active activity and there are decisions to be made every day in the garden that can have an effect on that little piece of land that we have inherited for a while.
The act of gardening serves as an excellent life lesson for accepting one's own failures that extend beyond the garden. Therefore, to reach the end of the growing season, tourists must be motivated to apply large bursts of labor to their garden every time they appear. Poor yield or even death in the garden are always related to variables such as light, spacing, temperature, soil quality, water and protection against pests, and all of them can be controlled. Until the Earth Fairies recognize their role in bringing order and sustenance to their garden, they will spend most of their time making messes and cleaning them up.
When I started to get serious about gardening on my roof, I was excited to venture into new terrain, but I also felt a lot of shame and anxiety about my mistakes. The good news is that you have your whole life to become a better gardener, and every new season is another chance to achieve some of the things that went wrong and reapply some of the things that went well. Patience will be tested and you will discover the leap of faith by taking a seed or a small transplant, planting it in your garden, nourishing it and caring for it while delighting in the plant's changes that will hopefully reward you in the end of beauty and generosity. People who enjoy gardening are happy with their lives and are less likely to show signs of unhappiness and dissatisfaction.
This is because they have a deep connection with plants, the earth and the garden itself, which also extends to human relationships. Like the Earth Fairy, the master gardener recognizes the importance of the interrelationships between all living beings, but he still doesn't hesitate to take control of the space in his garden. .
