How nature do it's thing never failed to amazed me. It's power is overwhelming me and I can't help but to be happy about it. This morning, I visited my garden in the field once again to check on my string beans if they grow already. It's a surprise that they grew already after five days. The last time I planted, they grow after a week. It seems that the organic soil I put did it's thing in making the seeds to sprout early which made me happy to be honest.
Most of the seeds already came out from the soil but some of them are still making it's way out. In just a matter of days and weeks for sure it will develop their first leaves already and later on their shoots will climb on the post I put beside them.
As you can see in the photos, I can say that the newly grown string beans are healthy. The organic soil I put really helped on the development of their healthy roots. As you know when a plants has a strong and healthy roots then it will surely produced good products afterwards. That's without a doubt because based from my experiences, that one is really true and proven.
I'm visiting them almost everyday to monitor their condition and also to make sure that they are safe this time, that no one will harm them. I don't know the things going on in the minds of other people here so it's better to be safe than sorry. I don't want my all efforts go to waste just because of them.
The bamboo poll that I put beside them also strived to live and look at that one. It has a branch already and it looks like that it will strive to grow further more. What magic.
That's for the updates of my string beans this day and I will update more about it in the future so stay tuned.
Update on my tomatoes.
I planted the tomatoes that my grandma gets from our neighbor on November 14 and it's been 21 days today as of writing. Just like what I did on my string beans, I used organic soil for better growth. I recycled the unusable big pail here that's been washed out when it flooded here in our place.
You can check my blog about it by clicking the photo and you'll be directed to it.
Since I used organic soil, I assumed that they will grow in a better state but I ovserved that they are not gaining any progress at all. They get the needed amount of sunlight and water but still the progress is not that big.
That's the time when I thought that I need to do something about their growth so when I saw the leaves of my Kakawate or Madre Cacao plant, I got the idea of extracting it's juice then directly apply it on my tomatoes. I get this idea when I watched some videos in Youtube about organic fertilizers and I learned that this plant is a good source of Nitrogen which is good to plants. Correct me if I'm wrong since I'm not an expert in this field.
The steps I did was I gathered it's leavess, about 20 of it then I used a hammer to pulverize it until it's juice comes out. When I saw that the juice was already coming out, I took it in a container with water and just mixed it. The water turned into dark green indicating that the leaves extract is already mixed in the water.
I used it to water my tomatoes a week ago and I was surprised that their growth hasten. I can say that the Kakawate leaves extract made this progress possible.
Now they are already big and maybe in just a couple of weeks they will develop flowers already and later on, their fruits. Hopefully I can have a good harvest from it.
Wonders within nature.
Since I checked my plants in the field early this morning, I got a glimpse of the small leaf of my taro plant holding a little amount of water. Look at it, how cool is that.
Plus when I checked my lemon tree also this morning, the larvae that I talked about in my past blog shed it's skin already. It's my first time to see it. So what a seen.
That concludes for today's garden journal and see you next time.
Thank you for reading.
