Behind the Blog


I'm O2L, and I love the world we are in. I'm also a climate activist who speaks for the environment and the natural world we live in. Apart from nature wat I also love is gardening and animals, so I also keep a lot of pets and spend a lot of time with them. I explore alternative ways of living sustainably in harmony with nature, my gardening initiative is also a part of that. I also upload about my pets and their crazy adventure. I also feature about my garden and how everything in my garden is producing and benefiting the world.

Growing gourds and melons not so difficult for me, but making them fruit is so hard. I don't plant gourds intentionally, they just sprout on their own from the compost pile.
