My father is man of many different hobbies. It doesn't matter if it has to involve fishing, sports, or what have you because it seems like he always has different ways of keeping himself busy. For a while, he actually attempted to garden, creating crops right in our backyard. At first, I thought it was neat that he was trying his hand in the field of organic farms. However, a few setbacks seemed to get in his way, resulting in sketchy findings.
The times when my dad's farming idea worked, the results that emerged were pretty impressive. It seemed like he was able to pluck out a good number of cucumbers from his garden. Yes, they were modest in comparison to the sizes of your typical supermarkets but they were healthier by comparison. He seemed to have a grasp on organic farms. That was, until he realized that he landed into some proverbial pitfalls that companies such as Colle Farmers Market sidestepped so easily.
I believe the most dire issue when it came to this garden was that despite how good it was in theory, it was easy to sabotage. There was a fenced area around said garden but it was used more so as an enclosing area than a protective barrier. There were many nights when rabbits and squirrels alike would go in for a late snack. Upon waking up, my dad would be frustrated as he saw his beloved tomatoes and cucumbers utterly gnawed.
There should be no doubt in anyone's mind: my dad adored that garden and I still think he misses it. He loves to get lost in his projects and gardening was certainly one such project. When he would go out to shop, he would return with not only the tools to keep the garden itself going but packets of seeds in order to grow tomatoes, cucumbers, and things of that sort. He had the ambition to back this hobby but outside circumstances certainly made matters difficult.
Maybe one day my dad will get back into his lost hobby of his. At the time, he enjoyed being able to go outside and grow his own crops on his free time, a perfect escape for the old man. I think he took pride in the fact that he was able to make something sprout from the Earth and reap the benefits by consuming it later. Hopefully if he takes better precautions this time around, he can see a greater level of success as a result.
