Imagine when you're trying to make a difference for you and someone you love...and apparently someone comes along and place a damper in your day, how would you react to the person who made a smart remark without thinking towards what you were trying to do or accomplish? What measures would you consider taking for the length of what was said to you without thinking of the harm it would inflict on you? I have a uncle...and I'm not giving out any names in order to protect the guilty party. "Protecting the guilty party!" My first mind was to "call out" my uncle for what he was, while I stood there taking in what he was spreading out of his big mouth; I just wanted to knocking that block off the top of his head. Getting to the point...I wanted some advice from my uncle on what to use to keep the bugs that was eating my family's organic fruit, herb and vegetable garden. I really didn't want to use any poisonous insecticides (knowingly that it will keep the bugs from eating the vegetation) I was very reluctant to use because of the dangers of ingesting the chemical that can very well harm my family and I in the long run, even if I rinsed all of the insecticide off the fruits, herbs and vegetables when it was time to harvest. My uncle advised me to use dish detergent by teaspoon full in a large spray bottle of warm water. He told me to spray every plant with the solution... repeating the process every other day or two, because he uses the dish detergent and water solution on his garden every other day, instead of using a poisonous insecticide that I am truly against using on my family's organic garden. All was good! I was appreciative of my uncle providing me a way to help keep the bugs of the vegetation of my family's organic garden, until he looked over at the yellow and zucchini squash, corn and bell peppers. He saw that the leaves were turning yellow in most places. There weather throughout the weeks past was totally a scorcher. My twin sister Sherri and I water during the morning hour and the late afternoon to keep the roots of each plant moist and damp. My uncle...while on his golf cart...sat there and said that my family's organic fruit, herb and vegetable garden would not amount to nothing. Nonetheless...fail, because...some of the leaves on each plant has yellow leaves...even though 99.99% of each plant have healthy green leaves and is growing beautifully producing our fruits, herbs and vegetables. I was deeply hurt that it seemed to me that my uncle wanted my family's organic garden to fail. Just because he has a lifetime of experience farming fruits and vegetables, he doesn't think we know what we were doing in my heart, I think he want my family garden to fail so that he can keep his going strong. Without any thought, or apology, he left on his golf cart back to his house. I took what I knew was an insult to my twin sister and I ability to grow a organic fruit, herb and vegetable. I started praying to #GOD and his son #JESUS to keep the family garden replenished with the abundance of fruits, herbs and vegetables. #GOD don't allow Satan to come in between what's been accomplished and achieved with all the hard work my twin sister and I done with the sweat of our brow. I'm very thankful for #GOD and his son #JESUS for giving my twin sister and I the strength to keep busy during the day in our family organic garden and keeping it alive with the help of our pilots (GOD and his son JESUS) even though...the sun is really a scorcher on garden during the early and late afternoon. Some things are totally out of our control. Controlling how the sun beams on my family's organic garden...there is nothing neither my twin sister, my sister-in-law Neyome and I could do, but...to keep our garden watered during the early morning and late afternoon. I wish my uncle could understand the magnitude of the suns rays beaming down on my family's organic garden and the fact with the yellow leaves growing in certain areas of each plant are a factor that each year we live...every season is growing into one. It's getting hotter! My family's organic garden is cooking in the sun. That is a situation that is completely out of my twin sister and my control. We do the best we can seven days a week with the upkeep of the family organic garden. "That's all we could do with the help of our pilots!"
