The Joys of Urban Gardening based on Gulayan Classroom



    Each of us can plant crops even if we are not farmers. It doesn't matter where we plant because it depends on how are we going to take care of it and protect it. Planting crops in our own yard is fun because we don't need to spend money so much to grow a plant. There is a saying that "Kapag gusto may paraan, kapag ayaw maraming dahilan". It's just fun to think that by simply planting in our yard we will have lunch and dinner as well as livelihood.

    By planting we become responsible in our environment and to other people that sorrounds us. Especially when we share it with others and we work together to produce it. Besides of a healthy body that the plant give to us, it also becomes our hobby. It's tedious when we're planting but it's worth looking at when you see the result of your hardwork and planting does not only require fertilizer it also need love and care. 

     It was fun to go back to those days when I was young and excited to plant in our yard. I watch it daily to see if they are growing or not. Like today, I have planted tomatoes and I watched  them grow each day. There are days that I can't take care of it so my plant withers. After that it has been a lesson for me and I have been careful and I water it daily. It is sad to think that because of my negligence my first plant was withered  but it was good that the others lived and I learned not to neglect the plant because it has grown us and it has given us many benefits.

    Today, few people plant vegetables in Maynila. Often in the Province we will see many crops. So since I read " Gulayan Klasrum" I have been encouraged to plant vegetables even if we don't have a yard. Because there are other ways that we can plant vegetables. So that, I will also experince and learn the lessons that Rosales experienced at the "Gulayan Klasrum".
