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.

Snails Eating Vegetables In The Farm.


This incident occurred recently in my small farm. I just planted the seeds of vegetables "mustard greens, pakcoy, and swamp cabbage" in these two weeks. The growth of vegetable babies was well, but some leaves were damaged and I have a thought that it was caused by caterpillars because of my experienced before, every damages to the leaves is caused by caterpillars. Without long thinking again, I decided to use a low level pesticide toxic on tomorrow morning to kill the caterpillars.

Actually, I am an organic vegetables farmer and I have an opinion if uses a toxic of pesticide in low level and spraying it with thin thin on the leaves and uses that in early two weeks after planting and used only once for the crops that has the age of 30 days for harvesting season, it would not be affecting the quality result of organic vegetables itself as long as in the grow period, the fertilization of vegetables only uses manure fertilizer, otherwise do not chemical fertilizer.

Fortunately, my son, Kusuma, checked it again in the farm, looked for the caterpillars, he did not find any caterpillars there, on the leaves, even inside of the ground that usually in there the caterpillars hiding, he didn't find it. Because we planted our vegetables in the poly bags, my son decided to shift every poly bag to look what there at under or beside of poly bags was, and BooM....he found all of the snails was hiding on there, Wow..ten until fifteen was hiding and stay in below and beside of poly bags.

He found also, a snail was eating the leaves of mustard greens and that is a proved and made sure us that the snails eating the leaves of vegetables too and its before we never knew it. Finally, the damages of the leaves issues have been resolved. I did not use a toxic of pesticide in its tomorrow morning, I just watered the crops and made a plan to clean and take all of snails from every poly bags we had in the afternoon.

This is a learning for me that to be an organic farmer have to carefully to look every case that happen, so would not be make a mistake when take care the organic crops.

Love and compassion
