There are many things that happened this week, because time flies fast and what is left will be forgotten. That's life, every second there are events that are rushed. Every second always passes and continues to pass. So, what is done is to let go.
The sadness this week was caused by my heartbreak because all the mint leaves that I planted for two years finally had to be let go. The question is, why did I have to let go? Because everything died and had to be thrown away. The roots were submerged in uncontrolled water. The rain was one of the causes that made everything have to be handled immediately.
I have 2 hydroponic installations for mint leaves only. Both had to be let go and only a few stems and leaves were left. Fortunately, it can still be used for stem cuttings, at least I don't have to repeat from seeds that are a bit difficult to grow. Considering the really unstable weather. In fact, almost all hydroponic installations are empty and have nothing left.
This month is the time for me to take a break from hydroponics, while on Christmas and New Year holidays too. So, at least I can still take the time to strategize in making new hydroponics. I will do a lot of things to prepare, it will also take a long time to start it again.
In fact, I did not plant anything at this time. No seeds were planted and used up some lettuce to be harvested in the next few days. Left for New Year's Eve, need lettuce for barbecue and family time.
The rest is just some celery leaves that we always plant. Celery is always resilient in all weather, at least you have to really control the planting medium so that it is not too wet, maintain the water content so that the roots are not damaged. However, celery is very strong, especially local celery.
In addition, there are also some chilies and eggplants that are still growing. Especially chilies, it seems they really like the rain. Being friends with the rain is not a bad thing for chili plants. In fact, I can get a lot of chilies lately. I can save on the cost of food ingredients. My wife often uses it to cook noodles and other stir-fries.
It seems that in the next week I have to fix up some hydroponic installations that are no longer suitable for use. I have used all of them for 6 years, even though many of them are recycled waste. But, everything is still very good to use for 6 years. That's why I like hydroponics, everything can be utilized as well as possible as long as it is handled properly.
The high rainfall makes me really confused about what to do and what to plant. Can anyone give me input on what plants are suitable for the rainy season? Let me know, please.
