How we worked in the greenhouse


In the spring, when the warm weather was established, my parents and I went to help my grandmother to plant the seedlings of tomatoes in the greenhouse. Our grandmother’s greenhouse is very large, but we also harvest a good harvest. I always gladly help my grandmother.

We woke up at 5 o’clock in the morning to start planting seedlings early. After all, when the sun rises, it will be very hard to work in a cheese-covered room covered with polyethylene film.

In order to work quickly and smoothly, you need to distribute responsibilities from the very beginning. Parents explained to us with my brother what we should do and what they will do.

My grandmother and my younger brother Vitya went to a neighboring greenhouse, where they were waiting for the seedlings ready for planting. They sorted it and pinched the bottom leaves, after which they spread the seedlings in boxes. Victor took the filled box and carried it to us.

In the meantime, my father was

digging up a small piece of land for seedlings. Mom’s hands did pits of the necessary depth and lowered the seedlings there, and I released her from polyethylene “pots” and gave it to my mother. Then my mother fell asleep in the ground and tamped it lightly so that the seedlings did not fall to one side. When one row was planted, I walked from pit to hole and stuck next to each stalk with a straight long stick to tie tomato bushes to it for stability when they grow up. And then my father watered the planted seedlings with water with fertilizers dissolved in it.

At first we joked and talked during our work, but it grew hotter in the greenhouse, the moisture condense on the protective film and fell heavily on our backs. Even breathing was hard, and we began to work in silence.

On this day, we worked almost until dinner, until all the seedlings were landed. My grandmother was very happy, and her neighbors glanced over the fence and invited “such enviable assistants” to her.

Only now I realized how much effort, effort and time to spend before you get a good harvest. Thank you grandmother!
