Hi Garden enthusiasts,
I just found that the garden journal challenge is still active. I had participated before when we were still renting that old place with a small space for gardening. We had been on lock down when we visited my parents and stayed there for two months. We are all bored with little things to do. Being a garden lover I tried to make myself busy planting anything. I have no plan or structure I just planted whatever is left from what we consumed like the following :
Kiat Kiat or Mandarin Orange
I am happy to see the seeds I got from this sweet mandarin orange sprouted after 5 days. I am not into planting seeds and waiting years to see the fruit but this time I tried and was happy and hopeful
Kangkong or swamp cabbage
Kangkong is a popular vegetable here in the Philippines. We use the young leaves and stalks to add in a sour soup, steam or blanch as a side dish and more. This usually grows on water but I planted a leftover stalk on a pot of soil and it grew. Problem is the cats trample on them when they play
Ampalaya or Bitter melon
My favourite to grow because it is easy and fast. I had posted before about my Ampalaya harvest if you had been following me
Sayote or Chayote
This is not successful because of the red ants.
All sorts
Sorry guys for this photo. We got everything dump here. A wild yam the heart shape leaves and beside it a lemon grass. The crawling at the bottom is a squash then above it a spinach. This is from the road side already as we have not enough space to plant
The following just showed up by themselves not sure what they are
Photos above we suspect are mulberries but we didn't plant any mulberry and where are we going to get one. It grew bigger and now we notice it. Not sure if we keep it or prune it
Can you guys tell what this is?
This I believe is talinum or Surinam spinach, it grew along with this ornamental plant.
That's my garden journal for May hope you enjoyed reading my post
