RE: In the garden: Lessons learnt, carrot juice and garden update

in Homesteading2 years ago

Thank you @bertrayo - the vegetable are indeed tasty. It is obvious for you via the strawberries, tomatoes and some of the vegetables. I like your 3 in 1 - I guess we make 4 in one as we add ginger too. Delicious. In the post I wanted to use the carrot tops. Carrot is so versatile and can be used for many combinations in a drink.

Oh no - re the animal visitors. I am sure I would have some too if I were on the the ground. Ok maybe not the one you have but certainly cats etc.

The table garden is indeed great for city living and an ingenious way to plant many items. I expanded with many grow bags and hanging balcony pots to expand my garden.

Sort:  

Well, it's a good to way to safe some money from time to time. And it's a good hobby too.

About the drink, ginger would add a layer of spice to the mix. Sounds interesting to try.

And, the animals are a problem in the tropic for such endeavors. My grandparents tried to grow chillies but birds didn't let them. However, there's a lot of banana trees in that house.

Yes try ginger - it adds a punch. Animals and pests makes gardening a challenge. For now it is fun for me on a scale that is manageable.

I wouldn't try it on a bigger scale. That's a full-time job right there. But having fresh things like tomatoes and herbs might be cool to step up my cooking game.

Lol indeed - I have not featured my herbs in this post but I have planted and propagated thyme and rosemary, basil, mint and other plants. which maybe I will write about one day.
It is handy to have these plants and use them fresh when you need to. You cooking game will definitely be up a notch.

Well, I envy that garden. More than anything because I can't have those things or iguanas will surely come down and eat them. Wretched things!

Oh no - sorry about that.

It's not your fault! Nature is weird like that. 😅
