The Reasons I Love Gardening

Finally back home. 5 hours of working and sweating in 30 degrees.

On my way back home I thought "fuuuck, forgot to make photos for Steemit". Ah well, next time.

The thing that I like about gardening is that I hit multiple birds with one stone.

  • It is satisfying to be busy for hours and then see the result immediately. I can see the difference and that it looks better. My dad calls it "honor for your work".

  • Money €€€. I earn between €10 and 12,50 an hour depending on the adress. This isn't amazing, but it's not bad either.

  • Fitness. Squatting, pulling, pushing, lifting and more. I get a full workout out of gardening. I sit behind my laptop most of the time, so it helps me to stay in shape. I get a full bicep workout from starting this old lawnmower.

  • Fresh air and nature. If I don't have to go outside I don't go out most of the time. With gardening I have to. I get into nature (some of these gardens have a part of a forest as a backyard) and get some fresh air.

What about you?
You like gardening?

I also love the meditative aspect of it.. peace and calm and oneness with the world!!!
