Gardening brings different emotions
October 6, 2022
Gardening makes you happy and sad. It will bring out your creativity and give you a piece of excitement. Gardening is a blessing.
It's been a month ago since I posted about our garden in a very small space. So, it's a time for October Update.
Time flies so fast that we are now in the last quarter of the year. The days were rolling so fast and a days after we will be turning our calendar again.
The plants in our garden also grew fast and we were able to enjoy it. We felt so happy eating fresh vegetables from our garden.
Pechay can be harvested within 30 to 40 days. So, when its time for harvest we were able to get some for cooking.
We are happy for our small harvest but some people are the happiest. Who wouldn't be happy to receive fresh pechay for free? Like this old grandma, she came to our small house and told me that she wanted to buy some pechay. I smile and told her, oh grandma, it's not for sale. I then get some and gave it to her. She is so happy and leave with a thankful heart.
My husband's uncle passed by and we gave some pechay to him and gave another more to be given for my husband's brother who live in another purok. That woman is my husband's workmate. They were so happy because they had a free pechat very fresh from the garden.
Off course, the gardeners were so happy too. My son had a great smile holding the plant he had planted and watered too.
After the harvest, my husband sow another seed for a new batch of pechay.
As of today, they look like this. We continue to take care of them by watering them early morning and late afternoon. We are hoping to have another set of good harvest soon and we will be able to give some too to our friends and neighbors.
We were able to harvest our raddish too. We were happy to find some long and big raddish and felt a little bit sad looking at those small raddish. Those raddish which have been damaged by the chickens and being replanted turned out to give us small, short raddish and other never gave us one.
We didn't lost hope and planted another batch. This time we will make sure that no chicken can damage it.
As of today, some already grow and others, I don't know. Might be they are still in the soil.
We are also happy to see our eggplant grow even we noticed that it grows so slowly. I noticed some marks on its leaves but haven't seen anything on it.
Our squash is in the flowering stage and we have seen some small squash. We felt so excited upon seeing them but today, I am a bit worried because it seems the baby squash turns yellowish. Is it dying? How sad.
Our string beans already in flowering stage and gave some little string beans. I am excited to see them grow bigger.
But I hate these black small insects. I don't know their name. It looks like they're eating the flowers and little leaves of our plant. Are they killing our string beans? Any idea to let them go? Help me please. I tried to put some water with detergent powder but I am hesitant because it looks like the plant doesn't like it and I am afraid that they will die.
This month we also added some plants and another recycling ideas in our garden.
We provided water bottle and put some soil in it. Then, we plant tomatoes and some eggplant in there.
My son can't just watch, so, he will always gave a helping hand. He enjoys doing it. He seems just playing while gardening.
The idea doesn't end in planting some plants in a water bottle because when the plant grows, my husband turn them upside down, open the bottom (which become the top now) and plant some pechay too. Amazing, isn't it?
We are so happy seeing them hanging in our window. Everyday we can check them out and look, the tomato plant have a flower and a little tomato now. I hope it will grow big.
The tomatoes and eggplant are trying to grow, trying to bend their body towards the sun.
Sorry our dear tomatoes and eggplant, your gardener just wanted to try another ideas for creativity, recycling and using a little space for gardening.
Today, I also replanted my spring onions because they look so unhealthy. I changed some good and healthy soil for them.
My son, wanted to plant too. So here he is, trying to make a hole by his little finger.
I put them on the side of the wall. Hopefully they will grow healthy despite they cannot see the sun often.
Then, he is so serious planting his spring onions.
We are happy to see them grows day by day. Every flower we see, makes us excited. Every small fruit makes us happy and when w have some harvest we feel so blessed as we can also able to share this blessings to others.

Awww so kind of you naman talaga, and you are so masipag, love it. I think pwd kana mag open ng farm oi.
Why not if God will bless us with a land to have a farm.. We are just sharing the blessings @ruffatotmeee. Thanks for your time.
I've always wanted to have my own garden talaga like taniman ng petchay. Plants grows lovely when they know you are enjoying your thing, so i guess yun ang nangyate sainyo, more blessings to yo and to your family
The feeling is really good @faithamore. It is so satisfying when we can have some harvest from our garden. Gardening is also beneficial for our health.
Umagaw ng attention ko yung bundok sa liko hehe.. Bait naman. Naminigay. Penge pechay hehe
That's Mt. Matutum sis @jane1289 and it is overlooking from our place. I really intended to have it as a back ground.
Nahikr nyo nb? Mganda cguro sa taas
Fantastic! There's soooo much going on in your garden - love it. And love how all fhte family get together, and recycling efforts as well - plastic bottles are so useful in the garden!!! Look like you have some very healthy vegetables there. Fantastic post, thanks so much for sharing and I appreciate your effort s well!
Thanks for reading my post @riverflows and for appreciating it. Yes, we do garden as a family and my son don't want him to be behind, so he will always there to help.
During transferring of eggplant, he saw his father getting the eggplant in the garden and transferring it to the bottle. While we are busy,we didn't noticed that he gets some eggplant too because he wanted to plant his own too but unfortunately he wasn't able to uproot it right that resulted to cut its roots.
His father wanted to be angry but it wont let the eggplant back to okay so we just told him the right process of replanting.
Look his reaction when we tell him his mistakes. He never said any words.
Parang pinagbiyak na bunga ang magtatay!
I want this too in our house probably after we cut some weeds pero sympre di ako ang gagawa nun at baka magkanda dugodugo ako pagkatapos ko mag weed out.
Talaga @tpkidkai, magkamukha talaga sila? Yun din sabi ng iba eh. Kahit pupunta kami sa mall sabi ng saleslady "Sir, ikaw talaga ang tatay di mo ma deny" hehehe.
Go, try to make a little garden at home, nakakatuwa din bonding na din namin.
Bakit magka dugodugo? hehehe
Medyo madami kami basyong lalagyan na pwedeng pag taniman.
Re madugo na part, di ako sanay pa sa mga itak baka imbis na dayami ang matabas ko kamay ko na pala. HAHAHA
hahaha nako ingat ingat ka in that part hehehe
