Hello friends, I hope your gardens are healthy and vigorous. Yesterday I was at the farm and I was greeted by an intense downpour. The truth is that at this time of year the rains are very strong in the south-central area of Anzoátegui state, which is precisely where I have my farm. I tell you that the idea of visiting the farm was to hire an agricultural tractor to plow the land for planting corn, but it could not be plowed because the land was very wet from the continuous rains of these last few days. Well friends, I could not plow the land, but at least I did not lose the trip, because I was able to harvest some fruits from my trees. The truth is that it is satisfying and pleasant to consume the fruits of our own plants.
Between lightning and thunder, I finally managed to reach the farm.
Yes, friends, while my wife and I were on our way to the farm, the rain was getting more and more intense. My wife looked a little scared, since the road was slowly flooding with water. This road is not asphalt, but clay soil, so when it rains it becomes slippery and cars skid in the mud. But I continued until I reached the farm gate, where I stopped to wait for it to clear up.
God Gave Me a Beautiful Mango
Let me tell you, I always wanted a mango tree on the farm, one of those that bear large fruits. I tried several times to germinate a seed of this type of mango, but I couldn't, so I gave up. Until one day, about three years ago, I started clearing the weeds and saw a mango plant growing among them. In fact, it looked like a native or common mango. I mean, I never thought this mango was a "big mango" like the one I wanted on the farm. Well, friends, that tree grew and grew, and after three years, two months ago, I realized it had started to bloom. But I never thought this tree was a big mango, like the one I wanted, until its fruits appeared and gradually grew with a wonderful color. That's when I knew this tree was a big mango, like the one I wanted on the farm. My question is: how did that seed get there? Nature itself has the answer.
Look at my big mango:
Well, my friends, even though I wasn't able to plow the land as I had planned, at least I was able to harvest some fruit from my trees, including mangoes and avocados. Now, about my avocado trees, I can tell you that most of them bear fruit. Some of these trees bear round fruit, others oval fruit, but all are very tasty, with almost dry, yellow flesh.
My avocado trees bear many fruits.
Bringing the fruits of my own trees to my table
The truth is that it is very satisfying and enjoyable to consume the fruits of our own trees. Each fruit represents great value to those who have grown it, because as we all know, all plants require our care. This involves proper watering, pruning, and fertilization, in addition to protecting them from pests. So, each fruit from our trees reflects our own efforts. For this reason, we feel great pleasure and satisfaction when consuming them.
