Went to my garden after dinner today and the only reason i went there is because i saw my dog outside and i wanted to play with her. Its been a really REALLY long time since i did anything in my garden or even stood there for 5 minutes. and as i was playing with my dog in my garden i started to remember how my garden use to be and how i use to play in my garden EVERYDAY as a kid. i mean EVERYDAY!!!! (even when its raining and muddy)
As a kid, my garden use to be my playground. I use to spend all my homework time there! Felt like some cool guy on Animal Planet when I dig the ground and search for insects and get scolding from my mom after that. Well having the fun mind of a kid me and my bro thought if we dug a hole deep enough i would reach the other end of the world - sigh the mind of a child. :D and trust me! the hole me and my bro dug was HUGE!!!!! hahaha at that time when i stood in the hole it would reach my knees! and the amount of earthworms we found (and tortured) could fish for fishes which can feed your family for a whole lifetime!
The thing I enjoyed the most in my garden was climbing the mango tree!!! :) being hyperactive and monkey like as a kid climbing the tree EVERYDAY was fun!! The mango tree in my garden was quite big and it could fit me and my 2 other brothers. We even had our own personal "room" on the tree. We wanted to build a tree house ourselves really badly. but the closest we got to building a tree house was shoving 2 bricks between 2 branches, putting a plank on the tree which we could stand on, and a mini ladder to help us climb the tree. Sadly after a year or so the tree was infested with red ants and we couldnt climb it anymore :( and after a few more years the tree had to be cut down because it stopped producing fruits and the red ants were starting to come into the house. Now this is all that's left of the mango tree....
My garden use to be a jungle!! I am freaking serious about the jungle!!! it had a few trees squeezed in it, FREAKING a lot of plants and my fence use to be a fence filled with creepers. You can always find WEIRD insects in my garden. I actually use to hate how my garden looked like a jungle because i thought it made my house look very ugly. i think that is very true, but now my garden is just plain boring. after the mango tree was cut down, my house was renovated. and in the process of making my house look better. my parents decided to redo the garden. so now, this is how my garden looks. boring.
This use to be the size of a FOOTBALL FIELD to me when i was still a MINI Kemuel :)
Thats my dog!
UGLY PLANTS -.- most of it produces something used for cooking...
This was the plant i HATED the most!!! it has thorns that use to scratch me all over last time! and that's the easy part. the hard part is my garden was FILLED WITH IT!!! because my mom said its flowers are really pretty. -.-
Well, im not saying I dislike how my garden is now, im just saying it doesnt have the EXCITING jungle look anymore. But my garden does look neater and better. It's still nice to take a walk in my garden and play with my dog there but my point is I see nothing in my garden anymore. The only function i think of my garden is.....
..... my dog's toilet!
