The grass isn't greener on the other side.
The grass is greener where you water it.
That's true. If your neighbour has greener grass, what could possibly be the reason? It's not some magic rain cloud, that has watered only your neighbour's side and left your grass without water.
Planning is good. Many times the harder part comes after that: following the plan. In a garden it takes time to see the growth.
Watering is needed. Without water the plants will not grow. If you are lucky, it might rain every now and then. Usually it rains too much or too little. That's why a watering system is essential.
Weeds have to be eliminated. They are growing fast, and have long roots. If you let them grow whole Summer, they will take over. And the real plants will not have enough space to grow.
The plants also need light and good soil.
Consistency and hard work will bring the results.
A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.
-Colin Powell
In a vegetable garden, some things are certain:
1. If you don't pick up the weeds, they will grow big and take over.
2. The vegetables can't grow if they don't have enough space.
3. Without water all the plants will die. Only most of the weeds will survive.
Working alone or with others
If you are working alone in your vegetable garden, you are responsible for everything there. The good thing is, that you know all that should be done. And if it doesn't turn out the way you planned, there is only one person to blame.When there are many workers, things have to be more organized. Each one has to know what they are doing. And what happens if they don't know?
Things like this could happen:
1. Someone has removed the weeds.
2. Another member of the team has planted the weeds back.
3. A third person wonders whether the weeds should be there or not?
4. If there is nobody doing the decision, they might end up removing the weeds, and planting them back again.
Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success. -Henry Ford
