Good day hivers! Let's keep Earth green and clean! But the main purpose of this garden is to have food everyday and no need to buy at a local market. I love okra so much, whatever the recipe. I had planted a few of okra last three months ago and slowly I got a harvest everyday and today I had decided to plant another batch of it.
These are my old okra plants. I planted 20 seeds of this but because this area is where flood flows some of it are washed away and around 7 survived.
This space is at the back of the house just 5 meters away from my old okra plants. During the dry season there were no plants here but because it keeps on raining for almost 3 weeks so there's a lot of grass. This is the location I had chosen to plant for my new okra seeds.
These are the seeds left in my cabinet. I bought these seeds 4 months ago. I already planted some of the pechay but it was unsuccessful. Also the eggplant. I was able to have seedlings but it never grew so big because it was washed out by the flood. Today I chose to plant the okra seeds because these are survival seeds.
After breakfast, I started cleaning the area. The sun was so good today. It's shining but it's not hot because the sky is still cloudy. I asked my daughter to capture pictures of me and she got these pictures. Not bad for a four year old girl.
After cleaning the area, I planted it by two. I just finish so fast because the soil is so soft so grasses can be uprooted very easily. Last three months ago I try to plant it by three and I found out only two is suitable to grow in good condition that's why today I tried to put only two seeds per bury.
And this part is at the back of our kitchen. This is the place where I planted the first okra seeds and I will try it again for the second time. I already made a drainage so water from floods could flow there and will not washed out my plants.
Since when I was young, I already loved to plant flowers and vegetables. My father is a farmer that's why plants are so near in my heart. Planting is one of my hobby until now. In my hometown I have lots of flowers and vegetables. I also participated tree planting activities.
I also loved vegetables so much. Here in the island where I live, it's very expensive. It's twice the price from my hometown and this is the main reason why I try to plant around our rented house. Some of the soil is not good that's why I have to put organic fertilizer like my biodegradable waste. Waste from vegetable or fruit peels. I hope to widen my garden very soon so I could have access of free vegetables and I can share to my neighborhood because they always gave me fresh fishes.
That's all for today hivers. Thank you so much for reading my blog. I appreciate your comments. I wanna know what vegetables are also good for backyard gardening if you knew something please leave it in the comment section. Thank you so much!
