my name is Theresa, i am 10 yrs old, from Philippines and i'm fun of planting vegetables in our backyard. well it's my first time planting vegetables in our backyard and i must say it's fun, but at the same time it's kinda exhaust much specially, when you're living in a tropical country, like here in Philippines.

It's hard for me to plant a cabbage, and those plants that needed sheds, because basically here in Philippines it's part time sunny and then it suddenly rain heavy.

My garden is not so big or small, i could plant 260 cabbage but my problem is how could i plant a cabbage without shedding it. I have talk to many people and in the agricultural university her in our city, they have same answer,"i must shed it over it may not grow as i want to".

Then i woke up early in the morning wondering how could i keep my plant grow healthy. Then there it was my father Alex built a little green house be-sides my other plants, he helps me transferred my plant in my very own green house. i never expect that my very own father will help me with that, i thought man can not possibly make garden, but i was wrong they were incridebly amazing for a man...

Gardening at a young age is wonderful. You will learn so much and every year your garden will get better. Keep up the good work. Your flowers are very pretty too. Thanks for the picture!

What a great story. Thank you.

After many years, I also find that men can be useful in certain areas.

Thanks for sharing your garden story.
