Hello fellow gardeners,
Another meaningful month to showcase our different gardens around the world. In my garden today, there is no big change because if you follow my other blogs, I spend more days in the city for work, so the only time I can only nourish and take care of them is only on my day offs from work.
Even though my time at home is always quick because I usually come home every other week, I make sure that I don't neglect planting, especially vegetables because it helps a lot. After all, vegetables are really expensive in the market now.
Because of my passion for planting, I would have tried to bring it to the city. Actually, there is no place to garden at the place I rent, but what I did was I asked for a plastic bottle container from a neighbor and I looked for soil to plant. So, from my yard, I brought one of my eggplant seedlings and some water spinach shoots to try. And before I planted them, I first prepared the soil and while doing that, I first rooted the water spinach in a container of water and you can see that they really rooted even after being soaked for a few days.
I wasn't able to capture the whole process of my test because I have been just disappointed with the outcome. Unfortunately, it was not a success. The eggplant died suddenly maybe because I watered it every day. The water spinach which is supposed to love water wilted the following day maybe because even though I water it, it doesn't get the right sunlight since I place the container under a roof.
MOVING FORWARD
If I attempt to garden in the city was not successful at this moment, back home in the province, as time goes on, the harvest had improved and I believe that there'll be more fruits will come from some started to produce lots of leaves and flowers already.
At home, just this morning I harvested some snow cabbage because I will use them in cooking and to replace them slowly because they are maturing. And while I was busy picking, I also noticed something resting on the leaf but I don't know its specific name and all I know is that it is a type of beetle. Can you name this insect for me?
In addition to those, in the upper left is a lemon basil flower with small seeds that I will plant to replace the old ones. On the right side at the top is the new passion fruits that have been transplanted, others are placed in some corners and that's where I thought because they can have something to glide in case it grows. On the bottom left is the eggplant that I mentioned in the previous blog that I didn't show, they are growing well and the skin of the banana body that I used to shield the heat have dried. And on the bottom right are the tomatoes that I put from my kitchen trash, they really should be moved because they're so big now and they almost cannot fit in.
Right now, before the day is over because tomorrow early I'm going back to the city to work again, I spent some time pulling weeds and mulching some areas and thankfully there were three days of consecutive rain which makes it easy for me to work on it. I also trim some of my lemongrasses because they are growing so much that they are overshadowing the others next to them.
On the other hand, even though it's been very hot lately, I'm really thankful to my hubby for taking care while I'm away because many of my ornamental plants have survived too.
That's all for now guys. May season's introduction is good because of a few days of rain. I'm happy for the crops I left behind. And if you've made it this far, thank you very much for taking the time to read this. I genuinely appropriate it. See you again soon and happy gardening.
It is undeniably evident how much you love planting. And yes, it's true that it is a struggle to grow vegetables or plants if you do not have the right space for them.☺️
Yes, and that's why I did try to plant them in a container but it seems like I place them in the wrong place or the soil I got to use was not fit for planting. Anyway, I try it again one of these days. Thanks for dropping by 😊.
Kakainggit naman ng mga gulay mo kabayan. Ako ililipat ko yung vegetable garden ko kasi lagi natutubigan kapag rice farming season.
Feel kita nong okay pa yong palayan samin kabayan. Na miss ko tuloy ang mga panahon na yon, buti kapa nga din dyan ay nakakasaka kapa ng palayan dito nga sa amin ilang taon na di na nagagalaw ang palayan dahil sa wala ng tubig na pweding dumaloy. Okay lang yan kabayan alam ko naman na expert ka paggugulay kaya alam ko maganda din naman ang kalalabasan nyan. Good luck kabayan.😉
Sana nga maganda ang kakalabasan.
Hopefully, 🙏🙏🙏
It's tough to grow when you have to be away so much for work, but I applaud your effort and it's obvious you are a gardener at heart and really enjoy growing. Nice job!
Thank you for your appreciation.😍
At least there has been no floods this year? And your husband is keeping things growing - good man! I'm sorry taht you haven't had successed growing in the city and you must miss your garden alot. xx I'm glad things are growing really well at the moment!
For now, I cannot say so usually floods happened every June and fortunately, I heard that most of the barriers have already been fixed. My husband is always been supportive of all my hubbies, and that makes me lucky😁. Growing even some plants in the city was a very big challenge for me. My attempts are unfortunate this time but for sure I'll still be trying again. Thanks for dropping by @riverflows I appreciate it. Stay safe!
I really love how you format your pictures! How do you do that?
Hi @jonyoudyer, thanks but it's just a simple edit from the phone gallery 😊.
