Hello everyone in the Homesteading community! Greetings from a farmer and journalist from the rural heart of Bangladesh.
Today, I want to share a moment of pure joy from my own agricultural journey. I have a small piece of land, about 5 Katha (around 0.08 acres), where I have planted various fruit trees, including orange, sweet lime (Malta), pomegranate, jackfruit, pomelo, and my favorite—China 3 Lemons.
With the onset of summer here, I went to my garden this morning to check on the trees. To my absolute delight, I saw that the China 3 Lemon trees are full of beautiful, fragrant blossoms! Alongside the flowers, there were also fresh, green lemons ready to be picked.
I picked a few lemons with my own hands. As someone who spends most of the day running around for news gathering, this small garden and my fish pond are my ultimate places of peace. There is a very unique and profound satisfaction in experiencing the fruits of your own labor.
Farming requires a lot of hard work—preparing the soil, applying the right fertilizers on time, and constant care. But when you see these fresh blossoms and fruits, every drop of sweat feels worth it.
How is the summer gardening going for all of you? I would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions for caring for citrus plants during the hot season.
Thank you for reading!
