Almost a year ago since I moved into a new house I started to channel my hobbies and I started living without games, cigarettes and hanging out with friends who were useless and just wasting time. Now my life has more meaning with the plants in my garden. Even though I didn't plant all of them successfully, some of the plants that succeeded in growing well and reached harvest time made me happier and made my life more lively. My wife is also happier because the green vegetables she usually buys at the market can be picked by herself. in our garden and is definitely much healthier and fresher because it doesn't contain a lot of pesticides.
And for almost a year now, you can see for yourself the mini garden in the back yard of my house. There are several annual plants that have not yet produced fruit because it is not yet their time, such as coconut trees that have started to grow taller, soursop trees, local sapodilla fruit, local avocados, and what dominates the most is the presence of my papaya trees, of which there are always some that are ripe and I consume them myself. there is also a banana tree whose first fruit I harvested a few weeks ago and thankfully I still have the documentation and this is the first fruit of my banana tree, how beautiful the fruit is and this banana tree is a type of bunch-wound banana because the fruit is wrapped around the bunch.
And what dominates the most is the presence of my papaya tree, and the type of papaya tree in my garden is the California papaya, the tree of which, although not very tall, has a lot of fruit and the size of the fruit is not too big like local papaya, but the fruit has a sweet taste and coincidentally there is papaya fruit. which is starting to turn yellow and I will pick it and I will wait the next 2 to 3 days for this papaya to ripen perfectly. Not only female papayas bear fruit, male papayas also flower and the flowers are very delicious to eat. If someone says that papaya flowers are bitter when processed, then the answer is that the management method is wrong, because the correct management of papaya flowers is to boil them in boiling water and then add the papaya flowers. If the water has not boiled and the papaya flowers have been added, the papaya flowers will taste bitter.
And in my garden there are also chilies of the Caplak type, or I often call them devil chilies, because they taste very spicy, this chili is only used as a mixture with large red chilies and green chilies so that it tastes spicier, but if we cook with all of these chilies then we we have to be careful with our stomachs.
This is my garden, where is your garden? Let's show it to me and see you in the next post. Greetings Tomi Diwirja.
