Radish Farming: From Leftover To Two Sacks of Harvest

Hello my fellow gardeners! 🌿
Yesterday, I went to my sister’s garden to harvest radish. They have been harvesting this area for almost one month. But now, my sister is busy with another farm, so they decided to just leave the remaining radish.

For me, I felt it was a waste. I said to myself, Why let it rot if I can still use it or help them to other who in need.
So I went there. The place is just a short walk uphill from my sister’s house. The path is simple, and I am used to walking there. I brought a sack and a knife. I used the knife to cut the leaves of the radish.

When I started harvesting, I saw that most of the radish were small. Maybe they stayed too long in the soil. But still, they looked fresh and good. For me, they were still useful. Many of them can still be sold. So it's still earning not wasting.

While harvesting, I also noticed the white radish flowers. I felt amazed seeing them again. They reminded me of the past. Before, we used these flowers as decoration during graduation and even weddings. Simple, but very beautiful.

After getting some, I went back home to get more sacks. There were still many radish left. I did not want to waste them. In farming, we should not waste what we grow.

I continued harvesting until I filled two sacks. I felt happy and proud. Even if they are small, they came from hard work.
I told myself, “I will sell these.” If I can sell them, I will buy bread and milk for my nieces and nephews. It is a simple goal, but it makes me happy.

Living here in the mountain is not easy, but it teaches me many things. If you are hardworking, you can live well. Farming gives food and also a small income.

Radish is one of the easiest crops to grow. It grows fast, and in a few weeks, you can harvest it. It does not need a big cost. Seeds and a little fertilizer are enough.
