Hello friends, I hope you are well and have a productive week. This is my first publication in this community and I want to share with you a new project that I am working on and this is my garden.
I have always had many ornamental plants in the houses I have lived in. When I was a child my mother had a house with a huge yard and had all kinds of plants that I always keep in my memory, both ornamentals and fruit trees.
When I started my home, I wanted to have my own garden, but I didn't have any, so I bought garden pine trees and other ornamental trees and had them in pots on the porch of the house, which wasn't very big either.
When I left there, I rented a house for a while because my apartment was not ready yet and the construction took longer than expected, so I started to fix up that house, which did have a big yard and was all enclosed.
I cleaned it and started to plant ornamental plants that I bought in a nursery near my mother's house, I got to have all the plants that were in the nursery in the house where I lived and when everything looked great in the yard, I did not want to come to the apartment, I would miss my plants, but it was a cycle that I had to close.
So all my beautiful bushes stayed in that house I rented, and after they had arrived and were so beautiful, it hurt me to pull them up because I was afraid they would dry up, so I preferred to leave them, I lost time and money and I only hope that the new tenants will take care of them as much as I did, but I knew that not everyone likes plants.
When I moved into the apartment I knew I would have nowhere to put the bushes, so I resigned myself to leaving them. Eventually in the building I talked to the building engineer and asked him to leave a small island to be planted with bushes, so it would look nicer and he obliged.
And I dedicated myself to clean all that shore and to buy ornamental bushes and to plant that place, I made flowerbeds with drinking water bottles of different models and shapes that even people came to take pictures in them, but the people liked the garden and some did not like it and their children would come and break the bushes. They did not help me with the cleaning of the garden and I was constantly finding liquor bottles and garbage.
This disappointed me a lot, they even brought their dogs down to do their business there and didn't even pick them up, they were very mean, to the point that one day I got disappointed and said “this is it, I'm giving up”.
I let them finish with everything, they broke the materos, the bushes and now that space is only full of bushes. They said that this was my garden and that I should clean it myself, and when I demanded that they take care of their children, they told me that it was not mine. So I forgot about that space.
Eventually I opened my separate door to the building and since my new entrance was at the back of the building on the first floor, I grabbed a piece of land that is just inside my apartment and one day I decided that would be my garden. I started to clean it with my son and, although it took us a lot of work because the land there is basically filled in from the construction, we have recovered that place where we have the new entrance to our apartment and that today is my garden.
The experience here has been different, because due to the location I can say that it is my garden, I have planted grass, with the idea of covering all that space with green and with beautiful bushes, that can make me smile every time I enter or leave my apartment, so I bought two trinitarias, one fuchsia and one white and I ordered another one, these goals have the particularity of growing and ambushing, as well as staying flowered throughout the year and I love that.
I dream of being able to see them big to the point that they give me shade and many flowers throughout the year, that the colors of their flowers paint my days and those of my family with color.
I also planted several bushes called capacho that also flowers and so little by little I have been incorporating new plants. The goal is to get a beautiful garden and see how in the simple and empty with love and dedication fantastic places are created.
