Gardening is a skill, a talent and above all a passion.
We don't have enough space for gardening in our home because we don't have big backyard nor front yard but because I and my husband both loves gardening we still find ways to make a garden.
In front of our small house, we have a small garden by using pots and used sacks for gardening. I have shared about it here before so for now I will just give some update.
Spring onions
I replanted some of my spring onions as some are so many in one pot. I just used paint container as a pot for my spring onions.
I also clean them up by removing weeds around them.
I am so happy seeing them so healthy by using organic fertilizer.
Malabar spinach
We commonly call it alugbati in our local dialect. I and my son really love this green leafy vegetable and this made me plant even in a used sack. They were so many in one sack but I am so glad that they are also healthy. I already harvested its leaves many times.
I also sow some seeds of it hoping it will grow too in the days to come.
Tomatoes
I sow the seeds and my husband replanted it and look! It already have some fruits now. Days from now for sure they will be riped and will be ready for harvest.
Eggplant
Our eggplant gave us a lot of fruits before but recently they were few and so small might be because of the very hot weather this month.
Organic fertilizer
Rice water
I used rice water to water my plants. Here's my son watering our spring onions and watering the plants is his participation in our gardening.
Banana peel and egg shells
I saw some post about it especially from @jhero22 and so I tried it also. I don't have a big container to store water for it so I just use paint container. I put banana peels in it as well as some egg shells and put water. After a night or a day, I also used the water to water our plants.
OUR GARDEN AS AN INSPIRATION
Yes, our garden became an inspiration for others especially to our neighbor. Seeing that it is really possible to have a small garden even in a small space, some of our neighbor also make a garden.
Others planted too but it didn't succeed as they didn't cover it and chickens damaged their garden.
This time I will show some of our neighbor's plant in their garden.
Spring onions
Yes, they also have spring onions but in a different variety. This spring onions is bigger than ours. Look, it also looks so healthy planted in a small pot.
Bell pepper or sweet pepper
I am amazed with his bell pepper. It is just planted in a used water bottle container but look! It has two bell pepper and they looks healthy too. It's so big.
Sweet potato tops
We commonly call it as camote tops. They just planted it in a catsup plastic container. They cut it, put some soil and planted some stalks of camote tops. This is ready for harvest.
Oregano
They also planted oregano in a pot. This is so helpful for cold, cough and fever.
Let's make gardening contagious. Let's plant and inspire others to plant too.
Thank you so much for reading.
