I mentioned on my blog earlier, that you also can
consider gardening as another source of income. If you have an extra space at
your backyard, planting fast-growing crops will generate food for the family or
even make some bucks for selling well-grown vegetables, or seedlings,
ornaments. It’s quite long process but if you start today, you have something
to harvest tomorrow.
For me, I don't do it for business. Gardening is my hobby to connect with earth :) If ever I got stressed out or head ache attacks, I do the gardening. I don't know, but I find the task relaxing. I actually do not have a big garden. I maximized the small space that I have by putting the elevated rack. I used bamboo material for my rack because it's readily available on my backyard. No need to buy new materials, you can use whatever material is available in your area. ' I plant seeds in pots, or recycled empty containers. It's easy and fun from the seeding step especially the harvesting period.
These are my very own pechay plants in pots!
Harvest time!!!
I just cut the stems para mapapakinabangan pa ang puno ng mas matagal.
Only one month, we have continues supply of green leafy vegetable. I don't spray pesticide, let it grow organic. More healthy and more vitamins you can give to the whole family. In the Philippines, we have lots of dish that we can put pechay. We have nilagang baboy or baka, ginataang fish of any kind, or even pure pechahy for ginisa. My kids love it! Try nyo rin mga mommies. Ang isang taling pechay which is 2-3 stalks costs 5-7 pesos. Each meal we consume about 10 stalks therefore it's 20 pesos savings.
After I harvest the older leaves, it will continue grow and I can continue harvesting weekly if I want. Lucky for moms who have big place to make a vegetable garden. Yun din ang wish ko, but for now, I enjoy gardening in pots :)
