I want to distribute dwarf tomato, egg plant, paprika plants I'm growing to families with young kid(s) as a food educational project.
When I sowed the seeds last month, I didn't think corona virus spread all over the world and change our daily life that quickly. Even countries and cities make their lock down policy stricter and stricter these days, I'm still dreaming the day I distribute the plants and they help others especially young kids to like vegetables, think about food throughly, start growing own food etc.
My motivation comes from my own experience. It was simply nice to have a pot of mini tomato plant with my daughter. Just a pot but it had a lot of meaning to us. We had/have plants in garden together following years.
I don't know how the situation will be but I don't give up my small dream and continue taking care of the plants :)
Do you have something you want to do when the corona pandemic is over?
小さな子どもやその家族が、小さなバルコニーや窓辺でも育てられるように「dwarf」と呼ばれるタイプのトマト、ナス、パプリカなどを育てています。先月種をまいた時は、コロナウィルスがここまで広がって、日常生活がこんなにも変わるとは思いませんでした。
そんな中でもまだ今育てている植物を食育につなげるという小さな夢は諦めていません。というのも、子どもがまだ小さかった頃に初めて一緒にミニトマトを育てたのがとても印象深くて、今につながっていると感じるからです。
早期の収束を願いつつ、日々世話を続けて元気な植物に育てます :)
みなさんはコロナパンデミックが終わったらしたいことはありますか？
