After a long drought and a healthy summer rain, the small vegetable garden in the courtyard has completely realized the freedom of vegetables.
Corn grows with knots, beans and cranes twist and turn, eggplants are thick and straight, tomatoes fall all over the branches, loofah vines climb along the bamboo knots, bitter melon stalks are paved with apricot trees, cucumbers are slightly inattentive to change their appearance, becoming big green radishes...
It has been a long time since I purchased vegetables, and my own family is most assured, no fertilizers, no pesticides.
There will also be insects, but home-grown, no pesticide is the basic principle, either manual pest control or physical spraying, diluted vinegar, homemade enzymes, mixed soda water, mashed garlic water, soaked pepper water are essential artifacts...
Planted twice kohlrabi, both times ended badly, the green and tender leaves are covered with spots of irregular holes bitten by large and small green insects, full of clouds, can't bear to witness, in the morning look at the back of the leaves, there are always a few snails or slugs greedily pasted, looking very disgusting...
Since I have grown kohlrabi at home, I have not bought it, and this dish cannot grow well without pesticides.
There are also some vegetables that are basically not medicated, amaranth, lettuce, bitter melon, and wattle mustard are all good without how to manage.
Carrots, green radishes, potato roots can be assured.
I love the sweet and soft corn, and in half a month, I can serve it to the table and enjoy it beautifully for the family.
Every eggplant and tomato are picked for three or two hours and enter the stomach and intestines while they are fresh.
The cucumber was plucked directly from the vine and stuffed into the mouth, and the eyebrows were full of satisfaction after enjoyment.
Beans are really abundant, every time you can't eat it at this time, boiling water, choose a place to dry, winter hot pot, stewed ribs, fried meat are all wonderful collocations.
Green peppers are not far behind, palm-length peppers grow like competition, and they love to eat scrambled eggs with peppers.
Lentils love autumn, and September is its harvest season, with purple flower spirits poking their little heads and bunches of fruit hanging from the walls.
Pumpkins are also the main force in the autumn vegetable garden, round, large, black-skinned, yellow-skinned, cuckoo wheels on the ground, either horizontally or vertically, all over the corners of the small vegetable garden.
The peanuts were planted for the first time, and I don't know what the harvest will be.
I love my little vegetable garden, with which retirement life is wonderful a lot.
It is also it that enriches my family's meals and ensures my family's health.
