自做囡仔ê時，我就足愛種東種西。彼時陣，阮兜無田園。我lóng用破水桶á-sī花坩來種花，mā bat種過薟椒仔。Tī彼ê功課壓力誠大ê年代，看花kah種花hō͘我ê心情會當放予較輕鬆leh。
尾仔離開厝到外地讀冊，紲落去食頭路，結婚，生囝。一直到退休了後，才有時間kah心情做一寡仔休閒活動。拄好序大人有留一塊公園預定地，兄弟姊妹lóng無人欲做，我和阮翁就想講來共整理理leh。就按呢，阮開始過著種菜ê生活。
欲種菜進前，當然愛先kā彼塊地整理hō͘清氣。M̄過，真正是萬事起頭難。這塊地m̄若草仔發kah ōm-sà-sà，koh hō͘人偷倒真濟糞埽。阮先倩人kā草仔lu-lu leh才koh開始整地。彼時陣，逐工lóng抾一堆石頭、磚仔角、罐仔矸仔、suh-kóng、塑膠袋仔等等。開始掘塗ê時，mā定定掘著糞埽。我lóng會想講若會當掘著金仔角m̄知偌好leh！
好佳哉，粗重ê工課lóng是阮翁teh做。我負責抾糞埽、墊籽、搬栽、插椏。好朋友hō͘阮一台舊ê割草機，同事kap厝邊hō͘阮菜籽，koh有球友hō͘我豆頭。經過遮濟貴人ê幫助，koh加上家己ê拍拚，我ê菜園總算有淡薄仔收成。M̄過，我ê菜bái koh歹食。這時陣，我感覺作穡人真歹做。
經過一年外ê拍拚，木瓜kah弓蕉lóng開始leh開花ah，韭菜kap角豆mā有收成。上蓋歡喜ê是冬瓜khp金瓜lóng收一、二十粒。家己食袂去koh分hō͘厝邊頭尾kah親情五十，逐家lóng真歡喜。可惜落一陣大雨了後，in 就變bái去ah。古早人講「一粒米百粒汗」，「作穡人看天食飯」，真正一點仔都無m̄對。
種菜ê過程當中，拄著真濟問題，我會去圖書館借冊來看á-sī上網去chhōe資料。我感覺我學著真濟知識kah經驗，所以真有成就感。雖然逐日lóng做到大粒汗細粒汗，草仔永遠khau 袂了，m̄過，歡喜做甘願受。種菜ê日子真無閒mā誠thiám，但是會當食著家己種ê菜，感覺安心koh幸福。你有想欲試看覓無？歡迎lín來我ê菜園作伙拍拚。
