It's been a while that I haven't updated our garden. We've been a bit busy. Today, a friend visited our garden and asked what kind of fertilizer that we use for the plants. Actually, we compost dry leaves with other types of waste (like leftovers, paring or coffee grounds) to make organic fertilizer. We put them all in the bin, then cover it until everything rots completely. It's a good idea - no litter and rich source nutrients for trees. According to the research we learn, the organic fertilizer will decompose automatically, and it adds micronutrients to the soil when absorbed into the ground. In addition, it won't cause any harm to the soil environment. It makes leaves greener and thicker. 🙂
We had a great harvest of some fruits in the garden and did clean the backyard to find spots for your new trees 😋: water lemon, okra, bitter gourd ..!!
There are many empty spots now after we cleaned all cherry tomato and pumpkin trees
We found that it's not too difficult to grow bitter gourd from seeds. These are already 2- week olds and growing fast. We make trellises and cages to support them. 😃 Some people don't like it as it's bitter like its name 😅 I suggest searching the benefits of Bitter Gourd and you will surprise :)
"Bitter pills may have blessed effects"
Have you heard of okra? Okra is a vegetable with a short growth period. It's easily adapted to hot and humid weather and can grow all year round. Okra's slime is very beneficial for health and skincare. Check it out why Okra, slime is gold! For Vietnamese, we are told that every plant has medicinal power and brings great health and well-being benefits for us !!
Watermelons 🍉🍉 are warm-season plants, so it's a really suitable time to have them in the garden ( It's summertime here). So excited 😃 but we do need to wait for a while ( roughly 3 months).
Honestly, we are not really professional gardeners 😃, we just plant whatever we want. Fortunately, they seem to grow well 🍀🍃🍉🍌. What else in the garden I'd like to update?
Strawberries? So sad..!! No more fruits harvested since two months ago 🙄😐
Oh yea, lol we feel not enough bananas so we're breeding them a lot 😅
And we have lots of lemons and passion fruits now 🍋 to make the most refreshing drinks for these hot days of summer 🔥☀️
