Hello Hivers of this community. This is my very first blog here at @hivegarden and I’m delighted to share with you our simple vegetables and fruit plants that brings foods to our humble table.
It was really nice that we have our own vegetables plants just located at our backyard. As I was drinking my usual coffee this this morning, I’m already thinking on what to cook for our breakfast today.
So, I visited our eggplants if there are good to cook for our breakfast today. It was still blossoming, look at this amazing color of the eggplant flower, it was like a tiny purple bell-shape and some are still small baby eggplants, so I just leave it there so that it will grew more.
I found two eggplants just about the size of my palm, and decided to cook it for our breakfast.
This eggplant was already a month old, but it already gave us enough food to eat every time I checked every morning. It was really a nice idea to plant vegetables because it was a great help for us to save our money instead of buying it at the market. The price of vegetables nowadays was really expensive here at our place, especially when there’s a typhoon, the price of vegetables skyrocketed. So, it is important for us to plant vegetables at our backyard. We planted some tomatoes but it did work out, so we just tried to plant some eggplant and luckily it survived and gave us enough to eat on our everyday living.
I also checked the bitter gourd I planted, and it already bear one small bitter gourd. Hoping it will bear more so that, we could cook it every morning.
We also have many banana trees, I remember we only planted one, and it became many for the past months, it also bears a lot of bananas, The size of every banana was bigger that my palm. We are really full just by eating one, we also share some to our neighbors every time our banana bears fruits. It was really many so we really share it to our neighbor. Our bananas were already ripe even if the color was still green. Sometimes, I just make some banana chips for our snack.
Truly, if you have plants like fruits and vegetables at your backyard, you wouldn’t get hungry. That’s how amazing nature is. It will provide if you are willing to plant some.
We also had a three-year-old mandarin tree, but until now it didn’t bear any fruits, but the leaves of the tree were so lively. I don’t know what’s the problem until now it has no fruit, some elderly says that we must plant another one beside it so that it would bear some fruits. It’s like us they need a partner, that’s what they said, haha. We are still hoping that one day it would bear some fruits, because it will be a good source of natural vitamin C.
That’s all my dear hivers of this community. Till’ next blog. I’m planning to plant more vegetables at our backyard. Soon, I will share it again here in this community. Have a wonderful day to all of you. 😊
