On Healthwealthbridge I started writing, to share my experience and knowledge as a Doctor. But down the line I started sharing my gardening journey too.
But it kind of makes sense. It all started with a gardening a long time back. We have a jackfruit tree in our childhood home.I spent hours looking at it and thinking about climbing on top. It looked pretty much like the Faraway tree.Enid Blyton’s book remember?
Another dream was about digging underneath it and coming out on the other side of the Great Wall of China , grabbing a pot of Gold, and running back to my home. Both the dreams stayed in the dreamscape.
I didn’t climb the tree , and nor did I dig underneath it . But I learned from it. It was almost eighty years old and still bore fruits every year. Looked happy, spread shade and always made me smile.
Cut to 2014,I started a balcony garden with a baby in tow, and in 2020 November I started our kitchen garden in the family village home. Planting is now a family activity and so is gifting plants. How to Walk, Write and Garden for the Healthy Life You Want is a book you will like, if you garden too.
The best thing we can do for ourselves and the future is to make it a greener place. Technology has helped the world a lot but so have plants. We need them to live.
Did you plant a tree this month?

Amrita, it was very relaxing taking your video garden tour in the rain. It is raining here, too, right now, and it is very peaceful. Thank you!
Thanks Kebba,I love sharing about NY garden 😁
Your garden is beautiful and the chili peppers look perfect!
Thank you Maria
What a beautiful yard and loved your video. Can I come and sit on your swing, it’s lovely!!
Do come Martha.I am sure Lia would love it too.Come visit in December .😊
Here in NJ, USA, the weather has been unusually hot! I don’t think it is a good time to be planting a tree until the cooler temperatures come, or at least until we get some rain!
I am a member of the Arbor Society and with my membership, trees get planted on my behalf. Does that count?
You’re so right, Amrita. Making the world more green is good for our hearts and our souls. I have wonderful memories of gardening with my mother when I was a young child. Thank you for a lovely post!
Yes gardening is a lifestyle
