My Small Backyard Garden: Mini Fruit Orchard In My Childhood Garden

It was the garden where we, siblings, used to play and work on as children many years back. Today, it has transformed into a beautiful, mini, sandy fruit orchard. The change was a gradual one and the process was a rather tough experience. My eldest brother was the only person who made it all happen. All with his own, bare hands and occasionally, with the help of a hoe and a saw. He removed the previous carpet grass and unsightly plants. The only plant which was spared the removal was the Rambutan Tree which bore us the sweetest fruits of all, all those years. He leveled the whole garden with a wooden plank. After that, he planted new fruit trees here and there. He bought most of the tree saplings he needed. There were only one or two which he grew from seeds. Today, the garden are rather productive. The Rambutan Tree, the Ciku Tree and the Papaya Tree are bearing fruits. The garden looks so serenely beautiful that even our neighbours stopped to admire it whenever they passed by our house.
