Big Harvesting And Sharing

There's always something fun to do if the goal is sharing. From the beginning of my gardening, I intended to provide more green vegetables to my neighbors and family.  I knew it might be difficult for me to share something of greater value right now. So I started with what I could do. Since I enjoy gardening, I thought it would be great if I could start sharing what I can do, namely the vegetables I grow. Now I'm happy that I can finally start sharing green vegetables again from the sizable harvest I've had in my garden. Well, actually, this land isn't really my garden; it's a vacant lot belonging to the housing complex where I rent a house. This area was unused and originally looked like overgrown bushes. It was very sad. So, my husband and I took the initiative to transform this land into something more presentable, as this area is the main access point for the residents of this housing complex. Since my husband and I had received permission from the developer of this housing complex to use this land for gardening, my husband and I started tidying it up. I've already told you about the process of clearing this land on this HIVE blog, so I won't go into detail. --- It's true that everything requires a process, and it's very tiring. But I really enjoyed the process, so I have absolutely nothing to regret.   At that time, this land was still empty and neglected. It was filled with nothing but wild plants. It was empty and neglected. No buildings were built on it. This land had an irrigation area that prohibited permanent construction. Meanwhile, the housing complex seemed to be simply leaving this area empty.  So, instead of this area remaining empty, I had the great idea of ​​turning it into a garden. The advantage of this area is that it has irrigation, so I don't have to worry about watering my plants. ---  Finally, this area looks like a garden, even though it only has a few plants.  I created two raised beds, which I planted with eggplants, eggplants, and chili peppers.  Meanwhile, on the other side, I planted water spinach in used gallon jugs. I originally planted tomatoes in these gallon jugs. However, due to the dry weather and lack of rain in this area, all my tomatoes failed. So I decided to replace them with the easiest and most heat-tolerant plant to grow: water spinach. It's called water spinach, but that doesn't mean it has to be grown in water; there are several varieties that can grow on land without any water at all, like the ones I'm currently growing. ---   Finally, I was able to harvest. But I started with shallots. The shallots I planted in white polybags are already three months old.    Initially, I placed these shallot plants in my front garden. But then I moved them to this new location to fill in the new space.  You can see for yourself that the shallots I grow organically can grow large. Even though I only used goat manure (fermented and in fine granular form).You can see my shorts video below https://youtube.com/shorts/5ueuNfQU0NI?si=e0CIBwMGHBR9uEh_ I was very happy to have a stock of shallots. They were larger than the ones available at the market. Of course. ---  I then harvested the water spinach from the used gallon jugs. Wow, there were so many of them, it took a while to harvest them. After harvesting the water spinach, I tied them into several pieces and distributed them to my neighbors in this housing complex. I was so happy to finally have some green vegetables to share.  I hope there will be more good things from this land. Well, the residents of this housing complex are very happy to see this area every morning, bringing their children. I'm glad this land is no longer a thicket of bushes. Instead, it looks more beautiful than before. And it can be used as a green space for the residents of this house. I hope what I do can be good. --- >Best Regards, Anggrek Lestari ---
