Thanks for inviting me to comment, but I'll do it later. I have a problem to solve.

This is an interesting theme and it's very timely too! Will be cool to read different Christmas stories about one's gardens and more.

If you don't celebrate Christmas nor acknowledge it, what does this time of year mean for you in the garden
It means hard work and more care, i need to water my twice a day and would not like to miss it. Since i have spinach, growing tomatoes and water leaf. There is need for water. This is the time to get awolowo leaves to manure my crops. So this Christmas season gives me more time as it is going to be a long holiday. Even my children can assist watering the garden.

Wow, here is my comment in answer to the question:👇

If you don't celebrate Christmas nor acknowledge it, what does this time of year mean for you in the garden?

To me thid time of the year is quite fulfilling and fun although I don't participate in Christmas celebration.

Since we've switched over to the dry season where there is less or no rainfall, all I do spend time watering my plants especially the tender ones.

I devote much time to uprooting weeds from my garden, I do not want the unwanted plants to choke the growth of my crops nor share it's nutrients hence I'm always busy in my garden

While others will be busy making festive decorations in their gardens, I've made plans to fence my garden round with bamboo sticks and twine ropes to help secure it from animals like chicken and cattles which are very rampant over here.

It is said that a stitch in time saves nine, I really do want a bountiful harvest, hence I've gotten some fertilizers through mom's help and I'll be applying them anytime I'm free, I'm quite sure I'll do have a lovely time in my garden this season just as others will

Casually I do celebrate Christmas very well, but that does not stop me from taking care of my garden why! Because everything I cook during Christmas is gotten from the garden. I water my garden every morning and evening in order not for my plants to die. I weed my garden for my plants to receive
photosynthesis in order for it to germinatee well. If there is any pest, I apply some pesticides on them. So that the pest will die. Because a stitch in time saves nine as I really want to have a beautiful harvest.

I want to talk base on this topic. Thanks so much @riverflows for giving us varieties of topics to make our choice. This is a dry season, though sometimes it rains but we don't expect rain here by this time of the year. It simply means that my garden might survive or dry of. But, I have make plans of watering my farm every evening. I chose this time because if I had to do that in the morning, the sun will easily come out and dry it out. But if I spray the water late in the evening, it will penetrate through the roots throughout the night of no son.

Apart from watering my garden, all the unwanted plants that will disturb my garden I make sure I weed them out. They even grow faster than the ones I planted. So, this time of the year is really time to make money from vegetables. So, my dear friends, am not going to leave my garden now because many have left due to the festive period and dry season as well. Let me make money from my garden now others have left.

Thank you for attention for my participation in last challenge!!!

Can anything in your garden be used for Christmas gifts?

I see the season of Christmas as the time of giving gifts but to be honest and we can't deny that all things now are expensive and some people don't appreciate cheap ones to be real. Well for me it doesn't mean if it's expensive or not, what matters the most is that it came from my heart. So whatever you give this Christmas to other people, be it your family or friends or strangers, make sure that you did it because your heart truly desire to give that someone a gift.

Since the comment challange is out, I got to checked on it and here I am typing my entry. I chose the the one "Can anything in your garden be used for Christmas gifts?"

Without a doubt I have a lot of things that I can give out to other people as gifts. The First one in my list would be my bananas. If you read my blog last week about the harvesting of my banana, I gave out already early christmas gifts to out neighbors. Each of them recieved one bundle of bananas containing 10 bananas.

For this coming Christmas again my bananas (I get the photo from my blog the other week) are about to be ripe again as I checked it this morning. So I will give again to them. Not just because it's the season of giving but I do it everytime I harvest.

Another thing that I can give as a gift is this cactus and we have many more here. My grandmother and me have the habit of making a collection of different varieties. I just have to transplant it into a better pot then it's ready to be given. If you want a meaningful gift then a cactus is an ideal one since it symbolizes strength, endurance and toughness.

When you give a cactus a gift to someone, you're telling them that they are very brave, tough, resilient in enduring the challenges of life. A lot of people out there need some encouragement after all.

It may be that simple and thorny but it has a powerful meaning that can empowers someone's life.

The other cassavas that I didn't harvest the last time is good to go already so I can use it as a gift and also the peanuts that we planted are ready to be harvested. maybe the coming days I will harvest it or maybe next week. There's a lot of things that I can use in my garden as a gift to someone. I just have to be sincere when I give it.😊

And this is my entry for the challenge hosted by this community.

Give something to someone not because you want to be on the trend but do it because in that way you show kindness to someone. So let's show and give kindness this time and everytime.😊

Here there is a plant called christmas flower, also poinsettia and papagayo. It is a shrub or sapling native to Mexico and Central America. In many homes it is grown as a shrub up to 4 meters high. Here it is grown in nurseries, but in pots and in this month it is sold to decorate tables, office desks and commercial windows. My daughter once gave me one, but after a few months it died, I did not know how to maintain it, it is a little difficult to achieve its vitality, there are some methods that I did not follow.
