My hive garden journey || Stocking my garden with more vegetable herb.

7 months ago

I want to use this medium to greet all great Hivers. How has been your day so far, hope you are all doing good? I'm positive minded that it's all well and fine.

The economy situation in the country most especially inflation has made majorty of people to venture into doing variety of things to cut their high expenses on Food, Vegetables, livestock and some other things. For example you will see someone ordering or buying day old broiler birds and he or she will start raising till they reach to be harvest just for consumption only.

Moreso, some dim fit to create their own smell garden and start farming one, two, three or more vegetables just to get the better side of inflation on food alone.So in the midst of tackling this hyperinflation, I decided to grow some vegetables in my own small garden. Though I have already planted some vegetables like; Lagos spinach, jute mallow (ewedu), okra, fluted pumpkin leaves but still looking forward to grow more vegetables if possible in my garden.

How I came across this Malabar spinach.

Fortunately, I paid a friend of mine a visit today and getting to their backyard, I came across different vegetables planted by my Friend's Mother.

Then this particular vegetables catched my eyes and attention with the way its spreads on the logs, I guess the logs are purposely used to help the broadcasting of the vegetable branches. So green and clean. I asked for the seeds of the Malabar spinach so that can grow it in my garden. She told me there's no seeds but his mother gave option to transplant.

She assisted me to remove the premature Malabar spinach plant and helped me to put it inside a blue nylon.

The method of transplanting the Malabar spinach vegetable.

After I left her place, on getting home, I went straight to my garden to create space to plant the Malabar spinach vegetable. The method I used is digging method, just like the rest I transplanted the fluted pumpkin leaves. I got my long shovel, dug out some soil, added small quantity of water and placed the premature Malabar spinach plants inside the small hole I dug and then covers its base with small soil. I added small water after the whole thing.
