Clearing and Cleaning for future Planting

Life has never been easy obviously, without hard work and maybe sacrifices as well there will be no success. Maybe for some, wealth is given or let’s say inherited - without plans, treasure will not always be there. These days, crises are expected anytime or anywhere but what’s important is how you can deal with it. What preparations are going to be made when this happens.

And for me, yes, I’m not living a luxurious life nor an easy life. However, I can say that I won’t be hungry, know why, simply because I don’t stop working even if it’s not a professional one which can provide a monthly salary. Mainly, I have my small store that uses my whole day everyday but I do have different side jobs. It’s too many to mention and maybe not necessary since this is not about it.

A simple life is the one that I really love the most but sadly I don’t have much to focus on farming that possibly could not provide me a better life; Well, food is not a question but I learned that it’s not enough about other things. The kind of life I wanted is still part of my life though, it’s just not being prioritized because of some other jobs which could provide me much.

However this time, we decided that we must rely on land as well or to be precise it’s about farming. My wife is always at home this month and because of it I decided to start farming on the mountain. The land is not ours but from her relative that is not here and and that land is I think being wasted not to take care of it. Together with my father-in-law and brother-in-law we went to the mountain to start cleaning and clearing. We have plans to plant vegetables, fruits and to take care of the plants that are already there.

Of course, it was not easy as you can see from the images how exhausted we were. One thing I learned in life when I started dreaming for a brighter future is that there is no easy path. I fully understood already and thanks to it, I am prepared for the thorny road and maybe for the tiredness.

So yeah, it’s been a while since this land was visited. Tall grasses, unwanted plants and trees are getting bigger. It’s not good for plants so we cut them and then create a fire from the dried leaves and trees to make sure insects will go away. Also, the newly cut grasses and trees were placed in the fire as well to provide a bigger smoke.

We were not finished but we stopped at 2 o’clock in the afternoon to have lunch and then decided to go home for now. We will be back but not everyday since I still have my small store to watch over. Even so, it was nice, I felt very good to sweat out very much and yeah, it was a productive day.
