This May started with extreme rain but at the same time still had extremely hot temperatures in my area. It was a big challenge for me, especially as I am still a beginner in the gardening aspect.
Challenges always make us learn new things and that is what allows us to grow even better. Learn new skills especially for survival to produce food supplies.
This garden journal begins with several plants that are showing the final phase of their life. They are tomato plants, as well as cucumber plants.
I have been planting tomatoes and cucumbers since I first started gardening in mid-January. In May, they started to become unproductive and their leaves started to turn yellow. Although there are still some small fruits on the tomato and cucumber plants.
So, it's been quite a long time and I am grateful that the tomato and cucumber plants in my organic garden have provided many significant harvests. My tomato and cucumber plants have also taught me important lessons about how to pay attention to plant nutritional needs for greater yields.
Because the tomato and cucumber plants in my garden have entered their final phase, I have also prepared new seeds. I have grown tomato seeds and cucumber seeds which are now almost two weeks old.
These are types of rose tomatoes. I planted it with seeds and I was quite worried that this method wouldn't work well. Usually, I buy baby tomato plants from local farmers. But this time I want to learn new things and want to start from the seeds. Hope I'm lucky.
For cucumber plant seeds, I am used to growing them from seeds. This time I also planted a type of baby cucumber that has the same small fruit size as my previous cucumber harvest.
At the end of last month, I also harvested a raising bed full of pak choy. So, now I also started sowing pak choy seeds. I grow a type of green pakcoy (pakcoy in general, the same as the type I harvested before).
also, I grow white pak choy (the first type I planted in my garden). so excited for this new type of pakcoy in my garden.
This week, I will focus on preparing the raising bed. I will mix the soil again with compost and husks to produce a good planting medium for my vegetable plants later.
Let's move on to other plants that are starting to flower and are also starting to enter the harvest phase.
There are cauliflowers that gave me a surprise. I thought at first they were broccoli, but it turned out they were cauliflowers. So, the seeds that mice used to eat were broccoli. They were almost the same so I didn't recognize them at all. Maybe @incublus would like to see this develop :P
Those cauliflower plants surprised me with their beautiful flowers and will soon be ready to be harvested!
I also had another surprise, my corn plants that I planted as an experiment turned out to be able to flower. However, I put them at the end of the garden to avoid pest contamination of other plants. Placing them at the end of the garden means they get less sunlight so they are pale in color.
For my type of eggplant plants, it works well. Long purple eggplant plants grow taller and have lots of fruit.
It's just that the extreme heat and rain caused some of the eggplants to crack and become damaged.
On the other hand, I also have baby eggplants, green eggplants, and baby purple eggplants, they are all starting to show good fruit.
Then, what about green beans? They produce quite a lot of fruit. It just turns out that their location doesn't get enough sunlight so they look stunted and their leaves turn yellow. This is an important lesson for me.
Meanwhile, long beans grow well and begin to flower and bear fruit. There is one long bean that looks long. :)
To conclude the May Garden Journal, I have red chili plants that I started harvesting a few days ago. Red chilies bear quite a lot of fruit. So, I harvest them gradually.
Meanwhile, the small chili types are not yet completely red. They are still yellow and orange and cannot be harvested yet.
So, until next on my garden journal. I hope we all have garden results that give us a sense of satisfaction and happiness, and are also healthy with the physical activity we do in the garden.

You are doing a great job with your garden, well done!
Do you have tomato and cucumber plants all year round in your climate?
In Indonesia, we can plant tomato and cucumber all years because here just have rain and dry day. Even rainy, we still have sunlight in the rest of the day.
For cucumber, better to plant them in the rain season above June-December. But We can also plant them all years 😊
For dry season, we just need to extra watering those plants. But for big commercial part like big field, people don’t want take risk. so the farmers will use the land to plant corn for dry season
Interesting, thank you for letting me know!
In Greece those are summer vegetables, so watering is necessary.
Wow! So many plants! Well done!
My veggie garden lies in ruins. With the scarcity and cost of water and the lack of time on my behalf, it has utterly destroyed my garden... I need to start over...

It seems that the pakcoy needs to be transplanted so that it doesn't etiolate, this a right time.
yeah you are right. I need to transfer them. I still prepare the right soil for them 😊
You have a beautiful garden and thriving with varieties of plants, I love it!
Thank you, my friend. I am glad I have them
You have a lot of vegetables in your garden, and it looks nice.

Wow! That's great news. I didn't expect one of my favorite vegetables to grow in your garden as a surprise. I can't wait to see a recipe you make with it, Chef!
Looks like a beautiful, abundant garden @anggreklestari! Your new cucumbers and tomatoes already look fantastic. I hope you get another good round of harvests out as they start to mature.
It is always a challenge to plan out how to get the plants the right amount of sun and shade, water and other nutrients! Some of them can be quite fickle, but so worthwhile when we get it right!
It is not easy to take care of the plants, they have to be watered on time and many special things have to be taken care of otherwise they get spoiled.
Wow congratulations, you are lucky to have this beautiful garden. The garden is looking amazing and is doing pretty good. You really take time to make sure it look supper. Weldone
