I have been spending most mornings of this weekend in the garden, weeding, preparing garden beds etc... I've topped up one of the bed for my wife to plant her stuffs this year. I will probably have to do the same for couple of other beds as the potting mix has compacted down quite a bit.
This year the two Mulberry trees are bearing quite a lot of fruits and they are of decent size. I don't let the tree grow big by trimming it down as soon as the branches are going too high. I should have cut off more branches this winter as they have now forked and the new branches are too dense.
Both the two of them are grown in a grow bag (root pouch) that is probably a little bit too small for them but don't seem to be too fussy about it so far. The drawback of a root pouch is that because the trees are isolated from the garden soil, it can't reach deep down to get nutrients so I need to feed them properly.
I've also started to harvest the black turmeric rhizomes. I should have done it at the beginning of winter, couple of them have rotted due to the low temperature and moisture in their grow bag.
But I still have plenty left so it's all good. Black turmerics are not like the regular ones, we only use them for their medicinal properties. My family use it mainly for digestive issues and food poisoning but they have many other properties. The inside of the root is blue of various intensity depending on the plant and nutrient it got, this one is probably underfed as I planted too many in a single bag.
One of our neighbours, came around and gave us a box of eggs from her hens. I also regularly give her some black soldier fly larvae to feed them. Organic eggs are so tasty.
San asked for some fresh carrots, so we went to their beds and took a couple out, washed them and enjoyed eating them like Bug Bunny, what's up doc? Let me tell you something, if you have never tasted carrots straight out of the ground, you've never eaten carrots!
