It's been a long time since I've contributed to the Hive Garden community, and I've missed you all. Wait, I have a reason for not update. It's not that I didn't want to, it's not that i am so busy, and it's not that I was lazy. It's just that I didn't plant anything last August.
It's sad, but life must go on. Slowly, this summer is starting to fade, and there are already some rain showers, even at night. For about 10 days, it rained at night, even if it was only for 15 minutes, but that meant the soil was starting to rewet, signaling that it was ready to plant again.
As a hydroponic garden owner with seven years in the business, I firmly believe that the quality of the vegetables I grow depends on the weather. Too much heat causes yellowing of the leaves, which is quite unsettling, especially since all my vegetables will be sold and graded to get a higher price and a substantial margin.
This September, I planted a lot of vegetables. Some of the varieties, including bok choy, lettuce, and water spinach, are the favorites in my hydroponic system. I started transplanting the kale seeds, which had already broken seeds, ready to be transplanted into the seed trays I'd lined with cotton.
I'd soaked the kale seeds for two days; you can see for yourself how beautiful they were when they sprouted. Some of the seeds that didn't sprout were discarded, as it would have been pointless to force them to grow. That's why sprouting the kale seeds was so important.
It was clear that the bok choy and lettuce were already growing beautifully. They'd been in place for days, and they would be ready for harvest in two weeks. There was a significant amount of effort involved, as I hadn't expected the rain and was a little worried that the timing wouldn't be right. However, the universe provided a wonderful answer, giving them life to continue living and being useful to humans. How kind nature is to humans, isn't it?
