๐๐ฑ Vegetable Gardening Requires Hard Work | Okra Updates ๐ฑ๐
It is not always easy for us to find time to tend to our vegetable garden. We do a few other things that sometimes take us away from the supposed daily routine to ensure that the crops are well maintained.
The most demanding of time and energy is pulling out annoyingly persistent weeds on a consistent basis. Weeds take the nutrients from the soil that the cops could otherwise use to grow and produce fruits. Once the weeds grow to a few inches long, it can get quite discouraging to continue gardening for a few reasons:
- It gets more difficult to pull out having established root system.
- Fear of snakes, frogs, and rodent that may be hiding.
- Some grown weeds develop sharp edges, and can cause scratches that can get really itchy.
We've planned to clean this up today, but the rainy weather is not letting us. We might need to leave this task for the next weekend. Between pulling the weeds out, cleaning the area, and tilling the soil to be ready for planting can take one whole day.

I planted some okra seed for this post Growing Okra From Seeds w/ Pictures some 22 days ago. The photo below shows how they look like now. We should have transplanted about a week earlier.

1. Remove the seedling from the tray completely.
2. Transfer the seedling to the pot by making a four inches diameter, 3 inches deep hole.
3. Make sure to compact the loose potting mix around the base of the seedling.
Finally, water the newly transplanted okra seedling generously. In a couple of months expect free and organic okra.

Nice, I like okra. :)
O nga ma'am masarap sa sinigang at pakbet gaya ng sabi ni Arnold.
Those okras will be ready for "Pakbet. and "Sinigang" soon :D
Ahahaha. Nakapagluto na si @dandalion ng sinigang at pakbet pero dun yun sa una kong tinanim. :-)
Snakes are one of my fears too! haha hoping the rain would stop already. I think the sun is already shining a bit. I do not eat okra before it looks gooey until I tasted it just last year and since then I started eating okra on a regular basis haha
