From Ruins to Renewal... My Journey in Saving What’s Left

in #hive-14063516 days ago
I have nothing else to share with everyone except a few unexpected events regarding my remaining plants, one of which managed to survive despite being removed and cut down by the local government.

This is my mulberry tree. They cut it down to the very base, but they didn’t uproot it or dig out the roots. Because of that, I expected new small branches to sprout again.

I took this photo on January 22, 2025, and it already had a small sprout on the side. I was hopeful that it would continue to grow and thrive once again.

This photo, taken on February 1, 2025, shows the progress just ten days after I first noticed the small sprout on January 22. I already have a plan in place for it.

And this is the photo I took this morning right after waking up, February 6, 2025. There's a significant difference and noticeable improvement in its growth.

I also noticed some cherry tomato plants that survived after the government cleared the area. These were actually seeds buried in the soil beneath a discarded plastic bottle that they had left behind. They didn’t realize that the seeds were still alive and had the potential to sprout and grow. My plan is to retrieve them and transfer them to a proper container so they can thrive.

Later, when I get home, I’ll start transferring the cherry tomato plants since I noticed they lack water. Given the cold weather, I’m certain they survived thanks to the moisture from the morning dew.

Thank you, @Akipponn, for your support and motivation to keep going with gardening. Even starting with just a small pot is more than enough.

It's cool, in just a short time the Mulberry started growing fast. And it's really better to just move them somewhere they can be safe. I hope they all grow healthier ✨

So sorry, but it can’t be moved because the tree is already too big, and its roots have spread deep and wide underground. This is where it will stay for as long as it continues to grow and age. =)

But won't they cut it again if ever? I guess it's just the cherry tomato then, that you can move.

I'm not sure if they will cut it again once the new branches of the mulberry tree sprout and grow. But you know what? It was a pleasant surprise today when I saw one of my tamarind trees—it now has new tiny branches sprouting! 😊
