Hello, everyone especially to all gardeners in this community. How are you? Well, I hope you are fine and in good health. It's been a long time since I was not able to give you an update about my vegetable garden at home because I am very busy with my work. So, today I would like to share my vegetable garden planted at home. As this quote says “To plant a garden is to dream of tomorrow.” by Audrey Hepburn, I always plant vegetables not only in school but also at home for tomorrow. To have fresh, and safe vegetable dishes prepared on my dining table. Even if I'm very busy sometimes, I always find time to grow vegetables at home. This is not only my passion but because of its importance not only to our body but in our budget.
In my home gardening, I used empty sacks as my container of vegetables, since I only have limited space at home. This is my usual practice not only in school but at home too. This is also my way of minimizing waste through recycling. Instead of throwing these empty sacks, why not use them as vegetable containers? In this way, I am not only growing vegetables for food or health concerns, but I also help in waste management and protecting our environment.
Vegetables planted
Eggplant
Eggplant is one of the most common and easy-to-grow vegetables. That's why, I always have this at home. Having these vegetables, allows me to prepare various eggplant recipes for my family. One of the best eggplant recipes my kids love to eat is Tortang Talong.
Okra or Lady Finger
Okra is another vegetable that is easy to grow and bears fruits early. It needs little care and attention, so for a busy person like me, this vegetable fits my garden. This vegetable is always present if ever I will prepare a vegetable dish. There are lots of vitamins and nutrients we can get from okra. This is also good for a person with diabetes.
Pepper
I did not only grow vegetables at home but also spices like pepper. Pepper grows in any type of soil and needs little care and attention. This kind of spices is usually used in various dishes, This is the reason, why this is always present in my garden.
String Beans
I also grow String Beans at home. I plant this near my kiosk because they need a trellis. I let them climb in my Kiosk if ever they grow fast, healthy, and vigorously. This vegetable can be used also in various recipes. So having this at home saves a lot.
Banana
Aside from vegetables, I also have green bananas. This variety grows any type of soil and is easy to grow too. It also bears fruit easily since this variety suits our Climate. If I have a lot of harvest of this fruit, I use this as my ingredient in baking banana cake and banana bread.
Pineapple
Pineapple is also a tropical fruit that grows well in our country. Even just a corner of our home, we can grow pineapple if we want. In my home, I also plant this fruit but I must see to it that it can't destroy passersby because of its thorny leaves. Growing this fruit supplies us with fresh vitamins and nutrients that the fruit provides.
How about you my dear Hive Friends? Do you have vegetables at home? I know you all have a garden too because we are all hardworking here. Growing vegetables, spices and even fruits at home needs hard work and dedication for them to grow well and produce more fruits.
That's all for now my dear Hive friends. Thank you for reading and supporting my blog.
