@punicwax here!

@peterchung, your "Lazy Farmer's Lament" is incredibly relatable! I love the honesty and the beautiful photos documenting the ups and downs of farming life. It's a reminder that even with the best intentions, nature has its own plans. Your reflection on the importance of consistent care, especially for sensitive crops like ginger, really resonated with me.

And the neighborly visit sounds delightful! Fresh lettuce and the promise of corn and cherry tomatoes – what a wonderful exchange. Your "乙巳農記" series is a great peek into the rhythms of rural life, and I'm eager to follow along. Thanks for sharing your journey (and the lessons learned!) with us. Anyone else on Steemit have gardening stories to share? Let's hear them!
