It’s harvest moon time!
Finally after 44 days of planting, I harvested the red and green amaranth (bayam hijau merah) and mustard greens (sawi). They should be ready in 30 days actually. But I think the place isn’t so condusive, so they were stunted 😅
Final look of the vegetables before they were harvested.
Let’s go! (My son helped me with this)
Some of the leaves shrivelled.
Alhamdulillah, all done!
Though the green amaranth leaves were a bit shrivelled. I’m still wondering whether the plant actually needed more water or more sunlight? Or probably both?
But anyway,
Out of the 5 mustards in a polybag,
1 plant was very big and healthy.
2 plants were the normal sizes.
And another 2 plants fought with each other, so both turned out a bit smaller.
Out of the 3 polybags of amaranths,
1 polybag (with 4 plants) grew big but with leaves shrivelled.
1 polybag (with 5 plants) didn’t grow so much, just up to mid height. Definitely stunted 😅
1 polybag (with 5 plants), only 1 plant grew big and healthy, no shrivelled leaves at all. But the rest of the plants in the same polybag stopped growing at mid height (stunted as well).
Lesson learnt this time :
1. 1 polybag would be best to put a maximum of 3 plants
2. Watering twice a day is okay, not overwatering I think
3. Ensure enough sunlights for the plants
4. Give them fertilizers accordingly (I usually do this once a week on the same day)
Oh well, alhamdulillah alhamdulillah for the blessings.
Till then, assalamualaikum.
