Welcome to garden healing! From now on, I like to call gardening activities Garden healing. It's like healing ourselves, although it doesn't directly contribute to our health. But gardening activities actually stimulate many things in our bodies to significantly improve our health. Do you agree with that?
This December, I only have a few plants left to harvest. That's because I will intentionally rest my garden to be able to restore the soil nutrients that will make the plants healthy.
In the previous Garden journal, you can find out how I take care of my tomato plants and also my chilies. They are the types of plants left in my garden this December. Today, I am happy to share my harvest activities which are a very enjoyable Garden Healing activity.
You can see the tomatoes in my garden are starting to turn red. Oh, they are blushing beautifully. Imagine it like the cheeks of a girl who is in love. It sprays a beautiful and cute reddish color, also adorable Right?
The tomato plants have a lot of fruit. Although the size of their fruit is not big. That's because I use an organic fertilization system, not using chemical fertilizers. Small size is okay. For me, because this is for personal consumption. So large size is not a measure of success. The most important thing in organic farming is actually a healthy harvest, especially for daily food consumption. Organic farming will also affect the health of quality long-term soil.
The tomatoes from the tomato trees do not ripen evenly. That's actually good in my opinion. It makes me have a longer supply of tomatoes for cooking supplies in my kitchen.
If in large quantities that can be harvested, it's not good because I have to finish the ripe tomatoes all at once in a short time. Luckily the tomatoes gave me a little harvest at a time, but it was fun.
Beautiful tomatoes. Thank you for giving me a harvest that makes my cheeks blush happily. This is the tomato harvest for the first session. In a few days, of course I will harvest these tomatoes again.
Although not all the tomatoes are harvested, but look I have a lot of harvest for personal consumption. The plan is, I will only make salad from these tomatoes because they are organic. So it is very fresh and delicious.
Also, next time I will plan to make my own tomato sauce supply. Because my husband does like sauce but I will combine it with chili.
In addition to the tomato plants that I harvested, I also harvested pak choi vegetables because I did not pull out all of these pak choi plants. I only cut their leaves, so I can harvest them as often as possible.
The harvest that makes me very happy this time. Counting the days to the end of 2024 and I am grateful for my garden which gives great productivity. See you in 2025. ❤️❤️❤️
