\u201cAL is ons bewegings ingeperk, is my tuin \u2019n plek van uitkom, ontvlugting en vrede.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So s\u00ea Maro Swanepoel van Despatch, wat nege maande gelede besluit het om haar voortuin se grasperk en blombeddings om te spit en die stuk grond in \u2019n selfonderhoudende groentetuin om te tower. Nooit sou sy kon dink dat die groentetuin se benuttting s\u00f3 vinnig \u2019n essensi\u00eble rol vir hulle as gesin sou vervul nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ons trek nou by dag 14 van Suid-Afrika se nasionale Covid19-inperking en vir die Swanepoels is eet in hierdie tyd \u2019n gesonde kosavontuur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOns eet lekker gepekelde uie, vars paprika, soetrissies in roerbraai, vars peppadews in slaaie. En basiliepesto \u2026 dit is waar my liefde l\u00ea, om te preserveer,\u201d s\u00ea Maro. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOns het jare gelede patatranke geplant, daai ranke groei welig voort tussen die groentekaste. Nou en dan grawe ek \u2019n patat of twee uit. My tamaties sal oor so \u2019n week of wat reg wees vir pluk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNatuulik is daar ook arms vol vars kruie. O ja, en daar groei weer \u2019n moewiese mooi murgpampoen wat ek di\u00e9 week gaan pluk om op die rooster met olyfolie te braai terwyl Pappa (haar man Riaan) sy vleis braai.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maro se gepekelde groente uit haar tuin uit. <\/div>\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Buiten die gesondheid uit die Swanepoels se grond uit, is die tuinwerk ook goed vir die gees \u00e9n sonlig se vitamien D is veral nou nodig. Die tuin bied Maro ook vir bene rek en oefening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk het so sirkelroete rondom die huis wat ek draf. Die roete gaan deur die agtertuin, waar die vrugtebome en groot avokadoboom is en natuurlik deur die groentetuin. Wanneer ek tussendeur die plante draf, verbeel ek my ek is in die veld \u2026 wat ek in hierdie dae baie mis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kort voor die inperking het Maro haar laaste botterskorsies geoes en heelwat peppadews en verskillende chillies ingel\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit is spesiaal ingel\u00ea vir gebruik later in die jaar wanneer dit jagseisoen is en Riaan verskillende worse begin stop.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hoewel Maro se groentetuin \u2019n lushof van heilsaamheid op hul erf is, s\u00ea sy sy sou beslis beter aan die uitleg beplan het indien sy dit nou vir die eerste keer sou uitgel\u00ea het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk sou heel eerste pale geplant het om \u2019n skadunet te span. Ons son is baie warm en die plante kry swaar onder die fel Afrika-son. Ek sou ook na meer raad geluister het.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018n Groentetuin is \u2019n immer-veranderende stuk grond met sy eie biodiversiteit wat gesond gehou moet word, beklemtoon Maro<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDaarom wil ek beslis meer blomplante plant wat die bestuiwers en insekpredatore lok. Ek wens ek kon spog met vo\u00ebls in my tuin, maar daar is skoenlappers, lieweheersbesies en die ultimate<\/span> vir enige tuin, bye en erdwurms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2019n Groentetuin vra vir absolute toewyding, dit soek elke dag aandag. Jy kan nie slapl\u00ea nie, dan gaan jy daarvoor betaal. En as iets nie werk nie, is dit nie die einde van die w\u00eareld nie, doen jou huiswerk beter en probeer weer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maro is van mening dat die tyd nou meer as ooit aangebreek het dat dorps- en stadsbewoners hul eie groentetuine moet aanl\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDie genot om te sien hoe \u2019n plantjie van baie klein af groei totdat dit vir jou groente of vrugte lewer, is onbeskryflik lekker. Ja, daar is soms misoeste, dit is deel van die lewe en ook in \u2019n groentetuin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaar die tyd in die groentetuin, die honde wat saamsnuffel, kyk wat ek doen of sommer net om my l\u00ea wanneer ek bedrywig is, is \u2019n vrede wat my eie wortels diep raak.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
