Gardening for long life

Old folks say that to have a long life you should engage in gardening. The wisdom is not fully explained but it is obvious that planting is not only for the exercise but also for the satisfaction. Think when the plants would start showing the flowers or the trees would begin to bear fruits.

In my younger years, I have learned to plant vegetables. The preparation of the planting area is not easy but I persevered. The first harvest was a joy not only to me but also to my family especially my mother. And later on with the growing space for the garden, relative would come for the harvest. That has certainly given me a good life.
