Hello everyone! I hope you are doing just fine. As for me, I feel high after accomplishing my long-time dream of having a vegetable garden. Only that I have to wait for its produce. But it's okay, patience is one of my virtues. The picture, by the way, is my husband helping me tend the plot, which must say is the hardest part of planting. The timing was great because the sun is up but it isn't as hot as a summer day since clouds come covering it every so often.
The high prices, you know inflation, was a a good motivation for me to finally realize my dream. It's crazy how prices keeps soaring nowadays.
I planted some bittergourd, tomatoes, eggplant, okra and some spinach. I also have local lemons and red chili peppers.
I am already excited to harvest.
What about you, have you ever tried planting?
Or any DIYs?

Oh yeah, onion prices soared reaching up to around 20dollars per kilo. But after the government's importation, it is now around 7 dollars per kilo. The price lowered but not as low as then which was only less than a dollar per kilo. What about in your area, how is it?

@Yadah04 I've been gardening since I was in preschool. My mom would always keep a vegetable garden in our property. I learned to grow vegetables from seed, tend to them, and harvest them. :o) Now that I run my own home, I always make it a point to grow something that would bear fruit or vegetable. It's like second nature.
