My Home Vegetable Progress: A Journey Through My Garden Plantations.
Yesterday I saw a post about a garden from @anggreklestari in which she was sharing her garden and what she had been planting and what she has planted. So today I decided to share mine also because it has always been something I really wish to do, but I sometimes don't get the time to do it. So today, while on the farm, I remembered I wanted to share some of what I had planted, so I decided to take some pictures of it.

What are the things that I will be sharing today? I'll be sharing the okra plantation, the cucumber plantation and the tomato plantation. Most of all these things have their botanical names, which most people know them by, and some people also know them by their natural names, which is the same with me also. According to the principle of agriculture, we must always ensure that we plant so that we can provide enough food for our families.
So what I planted started about 3 weeks ago. Before I planted it, I did some clearing and also added a bit of manure to the ground because the farm has been used for plantations for some time, so the nutrients need to be renewed. After applying manure to it, I did a manual plowing method with a hoe, which was a bit stressful, but I had to call some of my friends to support me to make this a bit faster.
TOMATOES

I got the seed needed for planting, but this time I didn't make use of the normal seed, but I made use of the imported seed, and you will see that the manure and the imported seed really showed themselves with the results I got from the tomatoes. It looks really bigger than the normal tomato would grow, and it also works for the okra. Actually, the growth of the okras was not really in line, but you will see that the growth is very fast, and it is becoming bigger and fatter, so this means that the fruit it will produce will be very big.
CUCUMBER
Now, going back to the cucumber I planted today, I can't really say too much about what happened to this because I got a bit of a negative answer to it. I noticed most of the cucumbers I planted were producing yellow leaves, even despite the treatment that was done to prevent the invasion of parasites. Despite that, the parasite still had its chances. But as it is now, cucumbers are producing fruits gradually, but they are still small, and I am having mixed feelings about how big this will be because it's not encouraging at all.
Despite the wetting and the gravity of the water that was helping it, it still proved to me to be a stubborn plant. But actually, it wasn't too bad after all; there is no way I won't be able to get something from it, so that means my efforts were not a waste. The joy we get from doing something is that when we do it, and we get a positive result from it, it will motivate us to do more. Now my tomatoes are getting ready to be sold, and they are just starting to get to their ripening stage. By the time the okra grows well, it will be sold, and I and my family will also feed on it.
All thanks to. God for the rain this period, so I have to do less wetting because the rain will do that for me. And the most important thing is that the weeds will grow so fast because they will be happy when they get good water. In my next post, I will share my next plantation from the beginning, as it will go, and it's going to be a rice plantation.
Take care of those Okra and tomatoes. If taken care carefully, they can give you fruits for months.
Sure I will do that. Might probably get more hands to work on it. Thanks for your comments.
You're welcome, have anice day ahead.
