Quick update on my husband's garden-More tomatoes

The other evening, my husband decided to remove all his okra plants and replace them with tomatoes, since he still has tomato seedlings available.

He has to do it at night since he doesn't have time in the morning. We are always in a hurry preparing to go to work, we have to get up early, get dressed, eat breakfast, and pack our bags. We don't have time to do anything else, like clean the house or run errands.

He also had to remove the oldest sword pepper planted beside the okra. I guess growing tomatoes is way better than having those okra plants. The tomatoes were much more productive and were a better use of the space.

His first batch of tomatoes is growing well now. For now, he planted tomatoes on both sides of his garden. He has been thinking about expanding his garden to include more tomatoes, as they are a popular and profitable crop. He knows that tomatoes bear more fruits than okra, and they are also heavier, so he will need to make sure that his garden is strong enough to support the weight of the tomatoes. He will also need to make sure that he has enough space for the tomatoes to grow, as they can take up a lot of room.

In addition to his tomatoes, he also planted Pechay in the pots. I recommended that he plant two pechay in each pot so that the stalks would grow larger. Because he wanted to sell them, it would be better if the stalks were larger so that they would be heavier when he sold them. It is the rainy season, so we anticipate those pests attacking the leaves of the Pechay plants.

As I was trying to check on the tomato plants, I noticed that the malunggay (horseradish) had grown again after its original tree had fallen. We have three malunggay plants in our garden, but my husband had to cut one of them because it was planted too close to his other plants and it was starting to outgrow the net that he had put up over his garden.

The malunggay is a very hardy plant. It is also very drought-tolerant, which makes it a good choice for gardens in dry climates. The malunggay is a good source of vitamins and minerals, and it is also a good source of protein. I am glad that the malunggay plant was able to survive after its original tree fell. It is a reminder that even when things seem to be going wrong, there is always hope for new growth.

Talking about pests, I've recently been seeing these worms attacking our lemon tree. They are common pests that usually eat lemon leaves, and I've been having to pick and kill them off to keep them from destroying the tree.
The worms are small and thin, with a dark brown or black body and a white or yellow stripe running down their back. The worms leave behind small, round holes in the leaves. If unchecked, the worms can quickly defoliate a lemon tree.

That's all for today's garden blog. I hope you enjoy reading my blog today. Thanks for dropping by and God bless.
