Guide to plantation: lesson 1

           Growing plants at home is one of the healthiest activities. Take it as a hobby or a time pass this work has all plus plus points. its one of those rare activities on Earth that have zero side effects. Growing plants not only stimulates our aesthetic sense but also imparts patience, time management, awareness, hard work in us and the outcome is delicious not only for our eyes as the fresh flowers bloom but also for our tummy when we get to eat the fresh vegetable from our garden.
            We are living in the times when the vegetable and fruits we buy from the market is no more healthy to fresh. it might seem to be well decorated in the racks of the malls we visit but in reality its not what it seems to be.the fresh food is now replaced with either GMO or the one which is being grown in the land that is being irrigated with effluents from sludge, sewerage or gutter. There's a reason the sludge and sewerage is discarded and not eaten but our WHO is totally neglecting this fact just to justify there own act.
           We cann't control the policies at upper hand but we can take care of our selves by growing the food we are consuming by ourselves. because of course there's no wealth greater than our own health. So here i am to help you out in selecting and guiding you to grow your own kitchen garden.
            The first thing you need to know is the plants that would be grown in that particular season. every plant have a particular season in which it sprouts and grows well. Summer plants are separate from Winter ones and ofcorse the geography matters a lot. The seasonal differences also follow the rule of geographical barriers; some plants are region specific. we can try to cultivate them away from their homeland but it will not flourish until the same conditions are applied.
          The plant specificity makes it pron to be able to combat disasters and let it survive for long. when a plant is shifted from its habitat it tends to get exposed to severe environmental change other than that in order to survive it tries to get adapted to external conditions which if it fulfills only then it would be able to proliferate otherwise it will die. 
           Sometimes if a plant is introduced in new environment and it gets adapted to it, it might cause to replace other native plants. or it can prove to be a source of allergy for some. e.g Bismarchia nobilis when introduced from America to Islamabad caused pollen allergy, similarly Roxburgi introduced from Australia to planes of Faisalabad made it sterile.
         So geography plays an important role in the growth of plant.
