In my village, there is the most beautiful garden that I have ever seen. It has many flowers and plants.
The garden belongs to Mr. Samin. His garden is beside my garden so I always pass his garden when I go to my garden. Everyday Mr. Samin goes to his garden. He always waters his garden every morning and every afternoon.
In the center of his garden, there is a big pond. Over the pond, there is the bamboo bridge. Its water usually is used to water the garden In Summer. Mr. Samin breed the fish in the pond. He always feed the fish every day. When his son is bored, he fish there. He usually asks me to join him. I like when we get some fish there, we burn and eat there.
At the right of the pond, there are tomato plants and chili plants. At the left of the pond, there are cucumber plants, pare (bitter gourd) plants. Beside chili plants, there are watermelon and melon plants. Beside bitter gourd plants, there are banana plants. The border of the garden is planted with cassava plants. They also plants some eggplants beside cassava plants.
They will be very busy when the harvest time. Sometime they ask me to help them to harvest the plants. The tomato plant and melon plant are usually harvested in 3 months. The chili and cucumbers are harvested for about seventy five days after sow the seed. Bitter gourd plant is harvested in fifty five days. Watermelon plant is harvested in seventy days. Banana plant is harvested in eight till nine months. Eggplant is harvested one a half months. Cassava plant is harvested in six until eight months.
Cassavas can be eaten with many ways. But cassava can be used for feed animals. Cassava for feed animals is usually called gaplek. Gaplek is made from dried cassava and gaplek also has good price to sell.
He and his son usually drink the cup of coffee and have lunch in a saung. Saung is a small shelter which is built in the rice field or garden to be the place where farmers or gardeners take a rest. Saung is built at the corner of his garden. It has a rice straw roof, bamboo pole. They can sleep or just sit there when they are tired. Around of the saung, there are some flowers like orchids, roses, tulips and sun flowers. Because of the flowers, Saung is so fragrant. The flowers is planted to chase away insects and snakes especially poison snakes. Sometimes, the flowers are harvested to sell.
They cook some cassavas in the saung while they are taking a rest. The burned cassavas are so delicious when it is eaten together in the garden. The burned cassavas are sweet and tender. They also bring some of some burned cassavas to their house to their family and neighbors.
I like Mr. Samin’s garden. I hope my garden can be like his garden too. It is like heaven. We can enjoy the life with planting.
