Garden Journal - Unpredictable Weather
Hello everyone, Welcome.
Nice to see you. How are you today? I hope you are in good condition and always given an abundance of happiness. Today will be nice, just like my happiness with everything on my page this time. they grow very well, all the vegetables in my garden.
The change of season is quite extreme this month because 2 weeks ago the sun still felt very strong, but now the rain always comes every day. even the sun was overshadowed by clouds and hadn't appeared recently. even so, everything should be grateful for.
After 2 weeks without bright, strong sunlight, I am very grateful for all my vegetables who are still struggling to live and survive. They are even very fine. Lettuce, bok choy and kale still grow well even without being attacked by any pests.
However, something confused me, this time it was really very confusing. The funny thing is, I used the pak choy seeds that I usually use, but it was different, this time the pak choy had unique stems than usual. The stem looks like in the picture below. really never found a rod like this. Did I take the wrong seeds when I wanted to sow them into rockwool? Of course that can happen.
A sad thing happened in my garden, because the cat that is usually in the garden will always guard all the vegetables from mouse attacks. Last week it died because of something I don't know why, then there were lots of rats running around at night. I knew the tracks because there were lots of rat droppings in several clearly visible spots. This proves that mice have been roaming around very massively.
It turns out, just a cat can help grow hydroponic vegetables in my house. So, this week I tried to use a mouse trap but apparently not a single mouse was trapped here. I put food around the mouse traps, they escaped from the traps. Rats are very clever at competing with humans.
And then, this is the right week for my vegetables to be harvested. This time nothing was sold because it would be distributed to my parents' friends. They will have a meeting with several friends, there will also be a small event at our house on August 25th. So, all these vegetables will be given to those who will come. My mother and father are very excited about this, they really like sharing vegetables, especially with their friends. Because my father is an expert in the field of vegetables and hydroponics, it is an achievement to be able to share the harvest this time.
Of course, it doesn't feel right to give kale that is too big like this, because kale can grow quickly, let alone waiting for August 25th. So, what will I do with the water spinach this time?
Call me Isdarmady, because I have a full name that is very long, namely Isdarmady Syahputra Ritonga. I am a head of the family who work as Farmers Vegetables Hydroponic and Consultant Hydroponics, sometimes I also sell coffee from various regions in Indonesia.
I have expertise dispensing coffee with a variety of techniques and tools brewing, because I have the desire to make a coffee shop with hydroponics as centerpieces. Help me realize that dream.

that's true. even mice eat money! called corrupt.
Maybe you can add another cat?
Here every day also rain and needed soo tricky in my garden
I don't want to have a cat. My cat died because he was bullied by several other cats, then he died because he didn't want to eat. really sad.
Rats are such a pain! We have native bush rats here in Australia that are really difficult to get rid of, and cats are no good as they also kill native animals. Good luck!
