A quick update on my husband's garden-Bad timing

in HiveGarden2 months ago

Hello Everyone. After a month-long hiatus, I'm excited to resume writing about my husband's garden in this blog post.
Here are the available plants and vegetables in our front yard garden.

Spring onion
Amidst the rainy season that prevailed in our region, the spring onion exhibited remarkable resilience, thriving and displaying enhanced health. Fortunately, the worms and snails, once a persistent menace, refrained from attacking its leaves, allowing the plant to flourish without hindrance.

Okra(Lady fingers)
Given his abundance of okra, hubby decided to share some with our neighbors, as he was unable to consume it all. As the okra plants grew larger, Hubby also pruned their leaves.


Pechay
Planting pechay during the rainy season is ill-advised due to the vulnerability of its leaves to pest infestation. While some of the plants may be salvageable for consumption, the majority of them succumb to the devastation caused by these pests.

Lemons
For nearly a year, we have had this lemon tree, and it is now abundant with fruit. When my husband picked and tasted one of the fruits, he found it unripe and lacking in flavor. I eagerly anticipate sampling a ripe lemon soon.


Papaya
The papaya plant is thriving, displaying no evidence of any pests causing harm to its growth.


Malunggay(Horse Raddish)
After pruning the branches of the horseradish plant, which had grown excessively tall, its health has significantly improved. The leaves have become more vibrant and larger.

Chillis
In our garden, chili peppers hold a special significance as my husband is an ardent admirer of spicy sauces. We have nurtured a chili plant in our garden for quite some time now. While we have removed some of the other chili plants, my husband decided to retain a few.

Lemon Grass
Filipinos are known for their love of soups, and lemongrass is a commonly used ingredient in many traditional Filipino soups, such as native chicken soup.
My husband has once again begun cultivating our lemon grass. We had lemon grass in the past, but he had to remove it because the snails were inhabiting its leaves and also devouring the tomatoes growing nearby.

Sword peppers or Bell peppers
My husband planted this plant for the second time after the excessive rain washed out his first attempt. I'm not entirely certain if it's a sword pepper or a bell pepper, though the leaves appear similar. Once the fruit emerges, I'll be able to tell for sure. Based on what my husband told me, I believe it's a sword pepper.

With that, I conclude my foodie blog for today. I hope you enjoyed reading my article.

Thank you for reading, and may divine blessings be upon us all.
