Steemit Community Garden Journal Challenge March 2019, My Entry

Hi Steemians and gardenjournal community,

I am back for March. Unfortunately I missed the February edition because I was busy and away from home attending leadership seminar.

I utilized the small area of our home near the kitchen and lined it up with used styrofoam containers. On the photo I was preparing the soil after weeding out the previous wilted vegetables. See how narrow the space is? In the future I will put the grape seedling here which is slowly creeping and growing. I am hoping it will provide some shade but I won't show the grape yet.

Here we got few sacks of soil. We got them from the mountain. So one sack is fertilizer and the other mountain soil. My husband has access to nearby mountain where he bought the soil from local farmers. As you can see I am using the small area in front of our little house which doubles as my potting area.

This is a lemon grass that we use to add flavor to some dish. Here it is growing on a pot but I remember they thrive in the wild or even on roadsides.

In front of me ( 3rd photo) is a small banana tree I wonder if this will grow tall. On the box I have squash seedlings and one local shrub we call talinum the leaves of which we use on our soup dishes.

Most plants I have this month are ornamental. The vegetables all wilted but most we consumed. This is how my garden looks like. Despite the hot humid weather and scarcity in water these plants survived. It is now summer here in the Philippines and it is not easy keeping a garden to thrive.

Sorry guys, we don't have internet connection for few days and if ever the service is back it is either slow or limited making it difficult to upload photos. Thank you @simplymike for this initiative I know I am posting on the contest payout date already. Nevertheless I want my fellow garden enthusiasts to see my little garden. Hope you like it.

Thanks and keep gardening
Gus

Belated birthday greetings to you @simplymike
