Greetings fellow hive gardeners,
It's an exciting day today for me but my kids are the most excited. For so long finally, we were able to harvest our fruit of labour.
If you follow my hive garden blogs you will know what my eggplant has been through before we make it this day. It almost ends up months ago when my dad sprayed it with too much detergent as an insect repellent and forget to rinse it with water after and last month we are hit by the typhoon and made almost all of my plants lay down especially my eggplant that has been covered by the debris.
These past few days it has been raining here and really helping my plant to recover so today I decided to check on my garden and my eggplants which I'm expecting my first harvest.
Honestly, I'm confused if what is something wrong with them, some leaves are withered and I guess there were insects behind them. I'm planning to visit some stores to find some solution for it very soon.
Anyway because I'm already here I made a cleaning, I pull up some weeds and till the soil around my plants.
lemon basil
ginger
spring onions
Earlier today, I was thinking that it could be the best timing to plant so I had replanted some of my seedlings which was my tomatoes and bell peppers.
Also made a check on my water spinach which is striving well and string beans which I'm worried about because it seems not too fine. I admit that I need more effort to cultivate all my plants but I just need some time.

After those, we started harvesting the eggplants for a dish soon. Carlo and Lucas always argued if I do something they like they want to do it themselves so instead, I told them to be very careful with the scissors if they want to do it themselves.
We had collected only 6 pieces of eggplants but hopefully, we can harvest more in the coming weeks because there are still a lot of flowers coming their way but all I have to do is to find solutions for those devastating insects.
For our newly harvested eggplants, I'm still thinking if what dish I would cook for it maybe I'll just saute it or maybe ill be combining it with other veggies and making some healthy soups.
Which will you prefer? 😁
I guess it is just all about today. I will update again soon and hopefully, everything will turn out well.
Happy Gardening and thank you for dropping by.
