Greetings and all.. How are you all..
In our province the banana trees and calamansi trees grow with a kind of strength and beauty that always makes me stop and appreciate the land we come from. Every time i walk through our little farm i feel like I’m entering a peaceful world where everything grows freely and naturally. The air is fresh the sunlight is warm and the plants seem to welcome you as if they’re happy you are there.
The banana trees are one of the first things you will notice. They stand tall and proud their wide green leaves waving gently whenever the wind passes through. Some of them look like they have been there for many years strong healthy and full of life. Their trunks are thick, and the leaves are so lush that they almost form a green roof above the ground. When the sunlight hits these leaves the reflections look so bright and alive almost magical. Sometimes you can even see small birds resting on the leaves, enjoying the shade.
The bananas themselves grow in big, heavy clusters. When they start to mature the fruits look plump and firm, promising a sweet taste once they are ready. It is always exciting to see the first signs of new bananas forming because it means another harvest is coming soon. And in our province, that is something worth looking forward to.
On the other side of our land are the calamansi trees. These trees may not be as tall as the bananas, but they are just as important. The branches are full of small green fruits, and when you gently touch a leaf, you can smell that sharp refreshing citrus scent. The calamansi trees here grow so well they are thick leafy and full of fruits almost all year round. Sometimes we pick fresh calamansi to use for cooking dipping sauces or even for juice during hot afternoons. Nothing beats the taste of calamansi straight from the tree.
What i love most is the peaceful feeling around these trees. The area looks so alive bright green well grown and full of natural beauty. Every time i see them I’m reminded of how rich and blessed our province is. These banana and calamansi trees are more than just plants they are a part of our daily life, our memories and our home..
Thats all for today.. God bless and happy gardening 🍀
