My father has a real neat vegetable garden. Every year he planted different kinds of vegetables for us to eating. Last year his corn were ten feet high and his tomato plants grew five feet high! I often help with him in the garden. We dig the hard ground in early spring, sow rows of seeds, and keep them water and safe from insects. When harvest time arrives, they happily pick the vegetables we have grown. We usually have too much vegetables in August. As result, my mother will freeze some for the winter month from December to March.

Building trust inside your team
A team without trust isn’t really a team: it’s just a group of individuals, working together, often making disappointing progress. 1. So how can you, as a leader, help your team to build the trust that it needs to develop? In this article, we’ll look at the issue of trust within teams and what you can do to build it.
Lead by example.
If you want to build trust within your team, then lead by example, and show your people that you trust others. This means trusting your team, your colleagues, and your boss. 2. They are taking cues(提示) from your behavior. Take the opportunity to show them what trust in others really looks like.
Know each other personally.
One way to build trust is to encourage your team members to know each other. Think about creating situations that help them to share personal stories, and to bond. 3. Start by sharing some personal information about yourself, and then ask someone else about a hobby, or a musical interest.
4. .
When people work together, there will be honest mistakes and disappointments, and it’s easy to blame someone for these. However, when everyone starts pointing fingers, an unpleasant atmosphere can quickly develop. This lowers trust, and is finally unproductive.
Discuss trust issues.
If you manage a team that has trust issues, it’s important to find out how these problems originate, so that you can come up with a strategy for overcoming them. Consider giving team members a questionnaire to fill out anonymously(匿名的). 5. Once you’ve read the results, get everyone together to talk about these issues.
A.Do not place blame.
B.Try to avoid mistakes and disappointments.
C.Ask them about the reasons for their lack of trust.
D.Do this by asking sensitively about their family or hobbies.
E.Never forget that your team members are always watching you.
F.Instead, encourage everyone to think about the mistake positively.
G.However, when trust is in place, the group can achieve meaningful goals.
If you follow any people who like traveling on Instagram, you’ve probably noticed they’ve posted amazing photos from Portugal in the last few years, especially during peak summer months. Mario Fernandes, a co-creator and the editor of Golisbon said he had seen increased interest in traveling to Portugal in the past five years, particularly in the last two or three. Cindy Goldberger, a travel adviser for Hiatus, an agency in Brooklyn, New York, said that she noticed an increase in Portugal trips about three years ago and that she gets more requests to plan people’s visits there every year. According to Reuters, the number of foreign tourists visiting Portugal hit a record for 2017, and in the same year the country won the world’s leading destination at the World Travel Awards.
Fernandes suggested it’s because Portugal is safe and more affordable than many other Western European countries. The country’s frequent sunshine is also attractive to many visitors. The Algarve, the southernmost area of Portugal, is home to “some of Europe’s most beautiful beaches,” according to Fenandes. Goldberger noted that many airlines have offered better routes to the country in recent years. She’s also a fan of the new hotels that have opened, including farms that have become hotels.
Eric Hrubant, the president of Cire Travel, noted that there is another reason. “It’s a small country, yet you have cities with rich history, culture and food, as well as a lot of beach and golfing options,” he said. “In five to 10 days, you can have a vacation or honeymoon that caters to all of your senses and desires.”
Hrubant pointed out that celebrities(名人) like Madonna and newlyweds Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander have moved to Portugal, which has put the country more popular.
So you don’t know where to go for a vacation this summer? Now you can make a better choice.
