Greetings!
The months of December and January have been busy months for me. Last December I began to water our rice field where some water was breaching my vegetable garden's concrete walls from below watering the low section of my garden in the process. It is a good thing that before the second season of rice planting I have dug a network of canals that act as drainage for excess water from my garden.
Then the month of January came when I planted the second batch of tomatoes as a replacement for the first tomatoes that I planted months ago. I also planted some bell pepper in a section of my garden and beside my garden's concrete wall aside from the bell pepper that I planted on pots.
I was not able to properly document those planting activities because it is not easy to document them if there is no companion around (a cameraman). Not only that, I have a planting activity that I entirely forgot to document and there's also a planting activity that I almost entirely forgot to document (I only managed to take some photos which are not enough to be used in a blog). And believe it or not, I also managed to plant some Zinnia beside my garden's concrete wall which I forgot to take a single photo of.
With that being said, this blog is a collection of some of the activities that I did not able to properly document.
One of the activities that I was not able to properly document is when I transplanted some tomato seedlings into other pots. But it was also a good thing that I managed to take a few photos. This will be my first attempt to plant tomatoes in a pot.

If you are able to follow my Hive Garden blogging, I attempted for the first time to plant bell pepper in pots which I successfully transplanted into other pots a few days ago. But aside from the bell peppers in pots, I also planted some bell peppers in a small section of my vegetable which is currently flowering now.
I entirely forgot to document this planting of bell pepper. The photo you are going to see below are photos that I took last February 2.

Up close, most of the bell peppers are flowering now which made me very glad and excited if they are going to be fully grown fruit. This is my first time planting bell pepper in my vegetable garden.

As I mentioned earlier I already planted a second batch of tomatoes as a replacement for the first tomatoes that I planted. Most of the first tomatoes that I planted already dried up. There are only three that are still flowering and bearing fruits but they too are withering (which I am still trying to save).
I was not able to document this planting of the second batch of tomatoes, the photos that you are going to see below are photos that I took last February 2. I also took o couple of snaps on the remaining tomatoes from the first batch of planting.
Time flies, my second batch of tomatoes are already flowering.

Here is the individual photo of some of the second batch of tomatoes that I planted. I just reused some of the sacks where I planted the first batch of tomatoes.
Just like I mentioned earlier there are only three tomato plants left on the first batch of tomatoes. But today they are quickly drying up (dying) and I trying all my best to save them.
Below are two photos of the withering tomatoes in my vegetable garden. They may look good, but if you look close enough you can see that their leaves are drying up.

Here is another planting activity that I was not able to take even a single photo. When I planted bell pepper in pots for the first time I also planted some bell pepper outside the walls of my vegetable garden and in a small section of my vegetable garden inside. This batch of bell pepper was planted simultaneously with those from the small section of my vegetable garden and to the bell peppers that I planted in pots.
You may ask, why I planted so many bell peppers. First, there were so many seeds in my possession so I planted them all, the second I wanted to know the parts of my garden and our house that bell pepper will thrive.

On February 2, after I took photos of the second batch of my tomatoes and the bell peppers I harvested some dried Black Seeded String Beans on my black seeded string beans crops.
I love these black seeded string beans they are so deliciously when cooked.

And last but not least, I finished my morning gardening activity on February 2 by digging another canal for added drainage on my vegetable garden. The photo that you are going to see where taken in the afternoon.

And that is some of the things that happened in my vegetable garden these past few days, what's yours?
