Greetings fellow hive gardeners,
I hope everyone of us are doing great. It’s been a while since I last update my garden here and today I’m gonna show you the latest update.
Time flies really fast just after February and it seems that March is just a few blinks away. Until this month there has been no change in my garden. I've lost a lot since I wasn't as focused on the garden since I worked far away. However, I'm doing better to take care of what's left, especially since our house, which was repaired since the height of the typhoon, will be finished soon 🙏. It just took a while because life is very difficult so it's really progressing slowly and I'm excited to share it with you maybe in my next content.
By the way, before if I used to take care of different kinds of vegetables, now I just focus on the ones that don’t need too much care because of the limited time I have at home. Just like my spinach, last November when I bought some bunches of spinach at the market for cooking and I thought of planting some of them in the back of the house which I also shred with you here. That time it was already rainy season so I don’t have to worry of watering them. Just two months after looking back at them I noticed that they grown. My father-in-law said that they already picked the first harvest and used it in making some native viand soup with we call it “utan law-uy”.
Just a few descriptions of “utan law-uy” is made of all green leafy vegetables which the mean ingredients is “moringa” it sometimes cook with left over fried fish or sometime dried first. After my first check I then decided to harvesting some and made some soup from it. I picked some of “moringa” leaves and visited my neighbors sweet patato garden to pick some sweet patato tops for additional ingredients and have some of our leftover eggplant from the fridge.
As of Today March 4th when I came see them before leaving back to work. I was surprised seeing them grown like crazy after four time of harvest. This is what make spinach great to plant, the more they were harvested the stem will continue to grow more.
So far, the only thing that makes me sad about them being so healthy is that they have outgrown my ornamental plants. So the next time I come home, I might move the others so that they won't be disturbed by the expanding spinach. I will also be thinking in advance what other recipe I might cook for them.
And that's all for now. In the coming days, I will try to take the time to add other vegetables because it feels so good to harvest your hard earned food.
Let's all be careful and happy gardening!💛💚🧡
I love greenery pictures
Thank you for your kind words. 🥰
Wow very healthy vegetable garden
Thank you for the appreciation. I never use fertilizer on them maybe they just love that space and so they thrive so well.
I really like the very fertile vegetable plants I really enjoy it ❤️
Thank you for the appreciation. 🥰
It'd be fabulous to read a recipe for the soup, too! Sounds great. And at least you have some vegetables growing for when you get back! It must be hard to work away from the garden. I'm happy for you that the house is almost rebuilt after the typhoon..

Thank for noticing me @gardenhive. I hope you know how I really loved gardening but for now time is not letting me do what really my fashion is. I need to work for some important reason. If only in the city I can still do gardening I will do so but no space here at all. I really love to make a recipe when I get back with those spinach. I will let you know then😉. I'm super excited for the house soon, this is the reason why I work so hard.
Moringa leaves are the best vegetable, have a soft texture and also high nutrition. Just by boiling it is very good to eat.
Indeed. In my province this is the superfood that's easy to find due to most of us love to have plant this tree for food and medicinal purposes.
What a nice spinach, I love that vegetable, I didn't know it could be easy to take care of hehe I will consider it, but I will take into account its growth so that it doesn't obstruct other spaces that belong to other plants haha 😂
Your spinach grows healthy, you made a delicious utan law-oy, green leafy vegetables are very nutritious, that's what I always eat because I have low hemoglobin.
