One step to make a strawberry pot has finished. Tomorrow, I can start to work and produce it.

Because I very enthusiasm to sell online my strawberry plants, my idea has grown and I made a decision that I had to make a strawberry pot to fulfill the service to the customer candidate who want to buy online via my this blog. I have finished making my mini workshop for working and I am ready to produce the pots starting tomorrow.

I work starting from Zero and is helped by my only son every day. We will try to make a perfect product to my customer's satisfaction who buy our product by online via my this blog. We will make sure that our pots of our production of these are strong, heat resistant, and water resistance, so can be used for indoor and outdoor.

We make these pots from wood and plywood, so this will demand our craftsmanship and our diligence when making it. I am, personally, will improve and advance my handicraft skill, besides for my own heart's satisfaction, but also for I want to be seen by the world that my struggle of the live to become successful is never the end. 

So again, I am very grateful to the God, Universe, Holy Spirit, and Deities that I still can continue my life in Your protection and Your plan. Thank you so much.

Love and compassion.

The Universe gave me a great work.

First, I would like to say thank you so much for the God, Universe, Holy spirit, and Deities. This is truly my hope, the great hope I have at this moment. I always learn to have a gratitude attitude every day in any condition, even in a very bad condition. But, for this thing, I am begging to the God and from the higher nature which has power, I pray to accept my gratitude. I very love with my work now, planting the strawberries and I want to be successful in this field.

My strawberries are growing well. Today I can continue to transplant them to the new containers and I am being helped with my son. This morning the weather is very bright and the air is very cool. We are, one by one cutting the runners of strawberry and moving it to the new poly bags that we have already prepared yesterday.

I have a different feeling after I planted the strawberry plant. I felt happier, stronger, more passionate, wiser, and loved. Yeah.... The plants of strawberry could change my soul which in before always worries, disappointed, sad, weak, helpless, vulnerable, and hesitate. Now, I feel more confident to face my future in any condition with love and compassion.

I have removed the negativities. God, Universe, Holy spirit, and Deities, have taught me about the faith and the trust. God, Universe, Holy spirit, and Deities, have taught me how I can get the faith and the trust. With love and compassion and my love strawberries, I and my son are welcoming the beautiful future of ours.

Love and affection.

Hooray...! I have finished weeding the grass.

Today is the day of Wednesday, I cooked an Indonesian food, sayur lodeh manisah with tahu gembos "lodeh of manisah vegetable with gembos tofu." I didn't work on the farm today. I prepared the ingredients of food with my only son, Kusuma Atsarak Santosa, the best supporter of mine at home. We happy and joyed on today.

Our task to weed the grass is over and we will continue our work tomorrow to transplant the runners of the strawberry into the new containers or poly bags. Today we had a free time to gather together with a different feeling, freed from working, freed from thinking, and freed from our uniform "garden clothes." Our feeling and mind are being felt light, now.

My son had a time for learning his program to become an online business development and he will write and talk about his new jobs someday here when he has finished his studies. Me too, I had a time to do another activity what I very like, that is writing, in English, like which I am doing now. This is the best moment we had today for moving forward into our new life in the future we dream. To become successful in our field and have a freedom of life and also, to become independent.

Have a nice day everyone, God bless you.

Love and affection.

Only weeding the grass.

Today on Friday, February 01, 2019, I weeded the grass. Only weeded the grass! I very overwhelmed facing the runners of strawberries I planted. Very very fertile! The results are beyond what I expected. Imagine, I planted to about 50 the plants of strawberries in October 2018 and now in February 01, 2019 are becoming around 1500 the plants of strawberries. Whereas, I thought at the time that, I would get those numbers if already one year, but now, evidently, I could get that number within only three months. This achievement surprised me greatly. Thanks to God and Universe and the Deities whose always protect me.

So, I can speed up my plan for, I can sell the seeds faster, rather than I planned before, that is on next year. I guessed and I thought, I would can sell directly, my seeds of strawberries, on March or April in this year. I hope the sell goes well, so I can advance and add my products. I had an idea to make a plant pot when my sell of strawberry seeds goes well. I thought this was a second hope.!

Today on Saturday, January 02, 2019, I continue my writing about my activity on the farm. I have two places for farming, at the front of the upstairs of my guesthouse and at the backyard of my guest house. Today, I and my son weeded at the backyard. We clean all of the grass that already started to grow high. We have a plan that we will transplant new strawberry seeds after weeding.

We worked faster than yesterday, we finished our work at 8.00 am, so we could check the roof of our guest house that which is a mess due to strong winds and heavy rain. One by one I could fix it. Only less one, the gutter pipe must be given waterproof material. I will give it tomorrow or wait until the gutter pipe is dry.

I think, this is would be our everyday activity on three days next until we are finishing to weed. Now, I can take my nap. God bless and have a very good day.

Love and affection.

Welcoming The First Harvest of Shallots.

Agriculture.
Farming activity: Preparing myself to first harvest.

Today, on Friday I very excited because my waiting season has been already near. I am waiting for my harvest to come.  This is the second I am planting my crops "shallots" and I have been waiting for 4 months to harvest it. April 21, 2017 is the time for my waiting is over.

Like my story before, I planted the mustard greens and I have learned in one year to could create the best harvest of mustard greens. Because the market is not good/less I made the decision to change my direction to plant the shallots and I must learn again to do it.

In the first of planting the shallots, I did not know that actually the bulbs would be growing after 2 months, and then, because worries, I have harvested at the age of 2 months as scallions. By the chance my son planted 5 of shallots just for fun, the rest of the harvest in a polybag bag that finally made us surprised because the bulbs really could grow well in my area.

On the images above that is the second planting that I wait until the bulb grow. By my count it is precise in 4 months I would get my harvest, on April 21 2017. Today, I am very happy and already impatient to wait that the time is coming, Because my English is not too well, I hope you understand what I wrote and I hope for the third planting, I would get better yield and I will work harder to gain it.

With passion.
