The Sunflowers

Today’s gardening experience consisted of picking peppers that had been planted by my peers and children from the community some time ago. We also took a look at the sunflower seeds that we all planted just last week and to my surprise the sunflower seeds had started to grow. I was honestly surprise that the flowers had actually already started to grow, being that we had just planted them. I just knew it would take a while before we saw any results; However, it felt good to see the progress of our work, especially being that I wasn’t too fond of the whole idea of gardening to begin with and although it’s still not my favorite thing to do it does make the whole experience a little exciting when you’re able to see some actual results and growth from the work you’ve down. It is also great to see the children we work with also get excited about the work they’ve done even after all these years that they have come and worked at the garden to still get excited is amazing. It’s not every day that you see a child or young teen get excited about a plant or flower growing.
