Also, planting and harvesting at the right moments is very crucial the survival of those who rely on the food produced by the crops. For instance, one would not simply just plant a crop in the winter when it’s freezing cold and the plant is likely to die unless cared for by someone with my expertise. There is a certain, well known rule that allows the plants to have a higher chance of surviving since they would only have to go through one season where they have a large chance of dying. There is another effective strategy to gardening called rotation gardening that have I mastered over about three or four years of practicing and gardening with that plan of harvest in mind. One of my most successful gardens was planted and harvested while using the process of rotation gardening. I planted the garden in my backyard using tomatoes, lettuce, blackberries, watermelons, blueberries, and basil.

But results always end differently because of the hidden meanings that are throughout the text. Ursula K. Le Guin is one of those writers who influenced this in her writing which resulted in success and becoming a famous, short story author.…
