I thought it was ginger, but it was turmeric

Today I want to show you the progress of my home garden. Do you remember how it looked last time? As I mentioned, there was even a tomato on the tomato plant; unfortunately, that single fruit didn’t thrive—it never fully grew or developed, but instead detached from the plant while still green. That doesn’t worry me, though, because I’ve noticed the plant already has some flowers, and I’m confident that more shoots—and, of course, more tomatoes—will soon appear. According to what I’ve read online, these plants sometimes do this: they produce a single fruit that they end up shedding on their own, only to later produce more, healthy fruit.

I also have a spearmint plant, but it has been growing quite a bit downwards, so I’ll look for a way to keep it contained within the pot. I also need to trim off the dry leaves that I see scattered everywhere; this will undoubtedly help my little garden thrive even more.

I also have this plant—which we call "Llantén" here in Venezuela—that is very effective for treating skin imperfections. Do you see those spikes? Those are its seeds; they scatter easily, which is why the plant spreads so rapidly.

But the star of my garden is the turmeric. Look at how big the leaves have grown! I’ll include a link to my previous post so you can see just how much it has developed in such a short time. I remember that early on—when the first leaf shoots were just emerging—the root was more exposed and had a bright orange color; now, however, it has settled deeper into the soil and taken on a duller hue—but according to my research, that’s perfectly normal. In my home country (Venezuela), it’s very common to consume turmeric in powdered form; it’s excellent for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and it also helps with glycemic control and cardiovascular health. I’m really looking forward to the harvest! Rest assured that when the time comes, I’ll be sure to share it with you all.

Thank you for your attention; we shall meet again, God willing. Sending you blessings.

Harvesting Vegetables for Lunch at Our and Our Neighbor's Gardens <3

tegoshei — Fri, 30 Oct 2026 09:08:21 GMT

My parents and I were hanging around under the mango tree beside our house earlier today. Our internet connection has been acting up for a while now, so I'm not able to work. While we were there, our neighbor, Manang Lourdes, came over, and we had some fun conversations. She's our elderly neighbor who's very good at gardening. She's so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about it, and we always learn a lot from her.
After a while, my mom asked the very common question most moms usually ask. *What should we have for lunch?*
Manang Lourdes answered, " Eat vegetables because it's healthy!" So my mom asked her if we could buy some of her produce since she usually sells it. However, she said... "No, you guys don't need to buy. Let's harvest some together... just give me some of the vegetable soup you're cooking."
She actually likes my mother's cooking, so we followed her into her garden to harvest some of her vegetables.

First, we harvested some string beans. She gave us some seeds to plant last time, but we haven't planted them yet because we're still trying to make some changes in our garden. The soil there isn't very good, so we need to gather healthier soil, cow manure, and other stuff to make it better for our future plants.
![](https://i.ecency.com/DQmYi3d2J6WVnnqkvM4HE6DgXVyMvGop36T7m8A7BxGn6rU/image.png)

Then, we gathered some sponge gourd. She said she originally just planted 5 sponge gourds and let them crawl around the place. She added some ropes or wires around her house, so now it has reached outside her fence, and she extended her garden in that area. This vegetable is so soft that it mostly just melts when added to the soup, and it smells good.

Lastly, we harvested some eggplants. My mom planted some eggplant seeds in a small container in our garden, but only two of the seeds sprouted. Manang Lourdes said that when she's able to grow more eggplants in her garden, she's going to give us seedlings instead. The soil in her garden is really nice, whereas the soil in our garden is a little sandy and isn't really that suitable for planting, so we had to create little planter boxes and add better soil.

Above is all the stuff we gathered from Manang Lourdes' garden. And of course, vegetable soup wouldn't be vegetable soup without the greens! So, my mom and I went to our garden to harvest some.

We love having a lot of green leafy vegetables in our vegetable soup, so let's check them out.

First, we harvested some malabar spinach. :)

Next, we also got some sweet potato leaves and some water spinach.

This one is called "sangig". It's one of the newest additions to our garden. We got it from our landlord, and I looked it up. It's called lemon basil in English. It smells really good!!!

I like soup with a little bit of heat, so we also included some chili. We plan to plant more chilis because my father and I love spicy food, so Mom is planning to make chili oil for us. <3

And then, we got some moringa leaves. We have an abundance of moringa leaves here, so my friend and other neighbors usually come over to ask for some.

That's the garden haul!!! Both from our and Manang Lourdes' gardens... Ohh, we also got one coconut, so we can add coconut milk to the vegetable soup. The coconut is also from our garden. :)

I planted the marcot calamansi and a little update on my plants.

josephthegreat — Fri, 30 Oct 2026 08:52:18 GMT

I bought a marcot propagated calamansi plant that was being sold online. It costs 50 pesos per piece, but if you buy ten pcs, the price drops to 40 pesos each, you have discount 10 pesos. I only bought two for now, since it's my first time planting calamansi.

My husband got this from a seller at the market, and she said to remove the fruits before planting it.

My little boy helped me gather the calamansi fruits and put them in his little bucket. Haha, he's so happy, he carries it around everywhere!

I planted this where it would get plenty of sunlight, so that my calamansi would grow well.

I always check on my calamansi plant with my son. After two weeks of waiting, it's finally blooming—yay! The seller was right, their air layered marcot calamansi plants bear fruit very quickly. I'm planning to buy more, but for now, I'll wait for this one to bear fruit first, hehe.

A quick update on the chili plants I grew in a sack, they are growing healthily.

And another 3 chili plants, two of them are already flowering, can't wait for them to bear fruit so that my husband use them in cooking, lol.

One thing made me happy was the malunggay or Moringga plant that my spouse grew finally, two of our malunggay plants survived! The last time he tried planting them in the summer, they didn't make it, but now two have taken root. We no longer need to ask our neighbours for malunggay leaves because we now have our own supply to add to our dishes, hehe!

The trees are begining to sprout leaves, which makes me happy!

The bell peppers and tomatoes I planted are starting to grow! The seeds ended up off to the side, right after I planted them, when I go inside of the house, my son started digging through the soil. That's how they ended up on the side, lolols. Haha plus, he is tossing the soil around, so some of the seeds probably got thrown out too. 🤦🏻‍♀️

There's nothing I can do now since he already spilled them. And now, my problem is that I can no longer tell which one is the bell peppers and which is the tomato, haha! I'll just have to wait for their leaves to broaden so I can figure it out, lol!

Apple harvest. Colorful apples

tht — Fri, 30 Oct 2026 08:23:18 GMT

One of the fruits I enjoyed most during my childhood was the apple. We didn’t have any apple trees in our garden. We had almost every other kind of fruit, but not a single apple tree. Nowadays, however, we have dozens of apple trees in our garden.

''One of the fruits I enjoyed most during my childhood was the apple. We didn’t have any apple trees in our garden. We had almost every other kind of fruit, but not a single apple tree. Nowadays, however, we have dozens of apple trees in our garden.''

Out of the dozens of apple trees in our garden, only one is harvested during the summer. That particular apple tree is one of my favorites. Its apples have a wonderful flavor, and the harvest period is quite short. The other apples in the garden are being harvested around this time. We have already harvested half of the apples in the garden.

''Bahçemizdeki onlarca elmadan sadece bir tanesi yaz mevsiminde hasat ediliyor. O elma ağacı popüler ağaçlarımdan biri. Elmanın harika bir tadı var ve hasat süresi kısa sürüyor. Bahçedeki diğer elmalar şu dönemde hasat ediliyor. Bahçedeki elmaların yarısını hasat ettik.''

We will harvest the remaining apples in a week. The red and yellow apples are ready for harvest, while the green ones need a bit more time; we might wait another two to three weeks for those. Together, the yellow, red, and green apples create a delightful visual spectacle in the orchard.

''Kalan diğer elmaları bir hafta sonra hasat edeceğiz. Kırmızı ve sarı renkli elmalar hasat edilecek seviyede. Yeşil renkli elmalar da ise hasat için biraz daha zamana ihtiyaç var. Yeşil elmalar için iki - üç hafta daha bekleyebiliriz. Sarı, kırmızı, yeşil elmalar bahçede küçük bir görsel şölen oluşturuyor.''

This is what some of the apples in the orchard look like. Apple trees, in particular, require plenty of water during the summer season; at other times, rainwater is sufficient. If they are not watered adequately in the summer, the fruit fails to develop properly, and the trees begin to wither. Water is vital for apple trees. Fertilizer is also necessary, though we may have some shortcomings in that regard.

''Bahçedeki elmaların bir kısmı bu şekilde. Elma özellikle yaz mevsiminde suyu sever. Diğer dönemlerde yağmur suyu yetiyor. Yaz mevsiminde yeterince su verilmezse meyveler yeterince gelişmez, ağaçlar kurumaya başlar. Su elma için hayati önem taşır. Gübre de gerekli. Gübre konusunda eksikliklerimiz olabilir.''

The apple is the most widely and easily grown fruit in Türkiye. It can even grow at very high altitudes and is resistant to winter cold.

''Türkiye'de en çok ve en kolay yetiştirilen meyve elma. Çok yüksek rakımda bile yetişiyor. Kış soğuklarına karşı dayanıklı.''

Small Seeds, Big Dreams: Attempting to Grow Strawberries, Tomatoes, and Marigolds at Home

vvodjiu — Fri, 30 Oct 2026 05:22:00 GMT

Gertrude Jekyll: A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all, it teaches entire trust.

Hello there, Hive gardeners!! Have a wonderful day to you all.

Grow some fruits and flowers with me. 😊

This is one of my hundreds of attempts to grow fruit, vegetables, and crops at home. I have failed so many times in the past that I stopped trying. But now, I want to try again. I saw a friend grow some strawberries on her rooftop, so I was inspired again to try. I have a beautiful flower garden full of colorful orchids, hibiscus, roses, and more. I know that growing flowers is totally different from growing fruits and vegetables. It's going to be difficult, but I will try my best. I would appreciate any suggestions from you guys, so please feel free to comment on this post.

💚 💚 💚

So, yesterday, I got some time to germinate my seeds. I bought these seeds online. I only ordered a few just to try.

First, I tried to make plant labels.

I don't want to pay extra for the labels, so I made my own using paper, tape for waterproofing, and a toothpick as the label stand. 😁

here are some of my seeds. So tiny and delicate 😁

Next, I prepared my seedling tray. It's my old tray. It has 128 slots, but I'm not going to use all of it today. I just want to try a few seeds. I poke a hole in each slot, enough for each seed. I'm not sure how many seeds to put in each hole, so I only put 1.

I have sweet tomato, strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, and marietta/marigold seeds. The seeds were so tiny that I really need to be careful when handling them to avoid them being blown away.

My tiny furry inspector is here. He's checking my seed label and the seedling tray. 😁

I hope I did well.. hehehe

Finally, I gave the seeds a bit of water and put them on the shaded part of my garden. I covered them securely so my tiny inspectors won't see them every time they decide to do a surprise inspection. 😂

I've maintained my flower garden for years, but every day, I learn something new. This new challenge of growing fruit may be hard, but I am determined. I am determined to learn, and if it turns out to be another failure, then I'll turn this failure into another lesson.

Well, that's all for today's gardening. I hope I started everything well. If you have any suggestions about growing strawberries, sweet tomatoes, and marigolds, please drop them down in the comments. I would appreciate them, truly.

Thanks a lot for stopping by. Have a wonderful day, everyone!!

toodle-loo... 🥰

A Happy Friday Morning in My Garden: Finally Seeing My Sitaw Bearing Fruit, Cucumbers Blooming, and Vegetables Growing Healtheir Everyday 🌱

vellyn — Fri, 30 Oct 2026 05:03:48 GMT

hello my co-hivers happy Friday!!♥️♥️🤗🌻

Welcome back to my another episode of my blog here in @hivegarden Community 🤗.and I am so happy that I will also have the opportunity to share my plants here. And I can give encouragement to others that we also need to give ourselves the opportunity to bond with vegetables, too.Visit, take care of them always.

Today, I was very happy because my sitaw (yardlong beans) finally started bearing fruit. I have been waiting for this moment, and it feels rewarding to see the first harvest slowly coming. The newly planted sitaw is also starting to climb and spread its vines. I hope it will grow well and produce more beans in the coming weeks.

I also checked my cucumber plants, and I was excited to see that they already have flowers. Some of the vines are beginning to spread, and I am looking forward to seeing their first fruits soon. It is always exciting to watch every stage of a plant's growth, from small leaves to flowers and finally vegetables that we can harvest.

Another thing that made me happy was my sweet potato garden. The camote leaves are looking healthy, and the vines have grown well. Finally, the sweet potatoes are becoming bigger and healthier. I hope that when harvest time comes, we will have a good number of sweet potatoes to enjoy with our family.

My corn plants are also growing nicely. I noticed yesterday that they had become taller and stronger. They look healthier now, and I am happy with their progress.

Yesterday, we also had some rain, which was very helpful for the garden. Before that, I applied fertilizer to my plants, so the rain came at the right time. It helped keep the soil moist and gave my plants a little extra support as they continued growing.

I also checked my newly planted eggplant seedlings. I was glad to see that they had started growing.

Some of my older eggplant plants are already bigger and stronger, while others have been transplanted to their growing places. It is nice to see that I now have different stages of eggplant growing in my garden.

Every time I visit my garden, I feel thankful for these simple blessings. There is still a lot of work to do, but seeing my vegetables grow gives me more motivation to continue planting and taking care of them.

I may not have a perfect garden, but I am happy with every little progress. I will continue doing my best and patiently wait for the next harvest.

Happy Friday, everyone! May our gardens continue to grow and bring us a wonderful harvest.

Upgrading Large Drosera 🪴 to First Class after Winter.

greenthings — Thu, 29 Oct 2026 18:58:06 GMT

Upgrading Large Drosera to First Class after Winter.

There leaves start to get deformed if too many roots are showing above ground. Bungs are not attracted to misformed leaves - just kidding. It is the way that the plant tells us that it needs maintenance. It was very hard winter here in South America. Nothing like New York winters, but you get my drift.

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmQnDCWDWca7y9JHm6u3qqy7B6F5VKtZZYbxxsdMAeqNwZ/image.png)

You can always tell when it's a big plant. I mean an adult plant, when it has a huge flower stalk.

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmSuiAYSFKAvhemip5nhA6LDQktyTL7Gw233oiHps2LZuz/image.png)

Below are the ones we will be working with today. The one on the left it is already in a pot that is sufficient. I just need to pull the weeds and add moss from the surface of the soil to the newest green branches. These plants always grow up and out because they just make new branches, a bit like a palm tree. Soon these will be ready for this year's growth.

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmNyg7uRZw65zXvrKgx7qFJjRYJR7Q346HbRozsp73Uqxr/image.png)

The one on the right is shooting up over the edges of the pot so it's gettning a new, larger, taller, pot - seen in the background. No, not the Kale plant. Please, people. Concentrate.

So, let us get to work on our project for today.

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmf8gMGJvEpn6w5DAqWxMeJB8kmp3PCyqZAYdsaKTeedcc/image.png)

First I will break off the flower stalks from the plant that will be repotted because there are valuable seeds in them.

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmcSGkX1xi5zCRdK2yHuyzvGh1DBGQbL4sULGeNvqf7Cqj/image.png)

Next, I will trim back the dead branches of the part of the stem that is sticking out of the soil.

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmQRcBCMLFyY3WgN4pGaHEbNARuiTwTGq5FfgcWDEeD2at/image.png)

The reason for repotting a plant that looks like this, you see how much of the plant's stalk that should be underground is above ground, which causes it to have malformed leaves and general wilting.

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmQnDCWDWca7y9JHm6u3qqy7B6F5VKtZZYbxxsdMAeqNwZ/image.png)

This is one of the few firsts where I'm taking a picture with a plant and it's dirt in one hand and operating a Pixel 6 with the other, not easy.

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmPF814BVcqzvRecdcnYx8qFPbXoXC5gSpH618XEd1Ri4e/image.png)

Now I just have to finish putting fresh moss up to the bottom of the greenest branches. And this one is done. It just needs a lot of water and time to recover from the stress of being repotted.

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmdYX9oL1hSahhVhAcadtzXgasEqeX3i26dk4sp1AwYVmw/image.png)

Do you see the larger plant that is right behind this one? That one is healthy because of the depth of the pot that it has. I need only trim away its dead lower branches and top up the moss.

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmYHgFAKtYvPnepPgj7TWxXf2X9MHwnHSpcEbEqdFF5XDy/image.png)

I will cut off any dead branches that are right above the soil surface.

Then I will backfill it with fresh moss as you have just seen on the first plant.

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmSc6RHUY2fp7Q4QWMgHpcFAQWf5JMDSvVku29YhiRfBPV/image.png)

Here you see that I have a complete tray of medium-sized plants that wilted over winter. I have done the same procedure on all of these, trying to help them back into productive pest control.

I did five trays in the last two days. One left to go.

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmUqZ5SkLJzUYJxHbpPajXWbjqHtvaEx4xkNHjPUeaJbs9/image.png)

Here is the one that still needs TLC before summer starts. The large pot on the right side used to be a large Venus fly trap that filled the entire circle of the pot. I will see if I can dig up a picture of it from last year.

Here is what it looked like when I repotted it last spring. Over the summer it filled the pot.

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmQ34abHzGxW41SKeskURYru8FMWXF7xrjtPAvZkDofacK/image.png)

I have been very busy and I still have a lot more to go related to the carnivorous plants. Stores have already been asking for bug eaters. I supply a few local plant stores. Sadly, the little ones are not ready yet. The adults will be ready when they have pretty violet flowers towering high above them. They open daily and customers notice that.

Thanks for reading, following and commenting on my posts. Your support is appreciated.

An Autumn Garden Harvest: Saving Seeds, Fermenting Chillies and Making Fresh Guacamole

theworldaroundme — Thu, 29 Oct 2026 18:17:09 GMT

It’s been dry today, although the sun hasn’t shown up. The autumn feel is settling in so well, and I’ve been pottering in the garden, collecting what was left to harvest before the frost arrives. Otherwise, the plants and their fruits may suffer, so it’s best to pick what I can now. I could do with cooking some of it rather than letting it go to waste.

The tomatoes are already starting to show signs of cold damage.

The chillies are all red and ready to be picked, although some have started to wrinkle.

Some of the plants have only just started flowering and forming fruit. I’ll need to bring a few of them indoors so they can hopefully continue flowering and fruiting for a little longer.

A surprise pumpkin from the garden! 🎃

I picked this unusual-looking pumpkin from the ground after the plant climbed up a tree and eventually produced this curious-looking fruit!

I never planted it from seed. It was actually a little seedling I found growing alongside my tomatoes.

I happened to replant it, and to my surprise, it grew into this rather unusual-looking fruit!

It looks more like an ornamental gourd to me, and it would make a lovely natural decoration for Halloween! I’m not sure exactly what it is, so I’ll leave it as a decoration rather than risk eating something I can’t identify.

Some lovely cherry tomatoes, and these are so sweet!

I also have these mature beans.

Their seeds can be used in all sorts of dishes. Just look at how beautiful their colours are!

I’ve also collected a few herb seeds, including basil seeds.

And lovage seeds, too!

It’s always satisfying to collect seeds from the garden. Not only can I grow more plants next year, but I can also share some seeds with others.

And here is everything I gathered together from the garden.

Harvesting and preserving chillies 🌶️

I really like the size of these chillies. They’re not particularly hot, but they have a beautiful fragrant aroma.

I’ve collected the seeds to grow more chillies next year and to give some away, too.

I also immediately set some of the chillies to ferment in a 2% salt brine. After about 10 days, I’ll blend them into what should be a tasty homemade chilli sauce!

Making fresh guacamole with garden tomatoes 🥑

I decided to quickly whip up some guacamole, of course using one of my homegrown tomatoes!

I love these tomatoes! Although they’re not as vibrant as last year’s fruits, I’m not quite sure why, they taste just as good.

I also collected some of those seeds.

Community Expectations 2026

gardenhive — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 07:02:00 GMT

Ground rules set a good foundation for a smooth and good experience in our wonderful community. With the rise of AI, and with new users, we felt it was important to publish these rules for the new year.

NO AI SLOP OR PLAGIARISM

Hive = Human Effort, Rewarded.

We've moved this up the top this year - as AI slop is making us totally fed up.

Pretty simple.

And, there's not a single person in the world that doesn't know stealing is wrong, so your content has to be original or we'll mute you.

We get it when AI is used to correct, aid grammar, and so on - but totally AI content is out, and most of the time AI images aren't acceptable either.

Post Length

Whilst we make exceptions, we prefer a minimum of 300 words.

The community felt that 300 words was appropriate last year and we think that's fair. Shorter content can go on Snaps or any of the microblogging tools on this blockchain.

In short (haha) effort gets reward. We don't tend to mute immediately and give fair warning, and if you post a shorter post now and then, especially if you usually post solid content, we're really not that fussed at all. But if you're always posting short, one - three sentences posts, those posts will be muted.

We really want the content in the community to be valuable and engaging for all - one image and one or two sentences rarely add much value.

The community reserves the right to post short form if needed in the day to day admin - we'd prefer you not to quibble if we make an announcement that isn't exactly 300 words.

English is Preferred

We love our international gardeners, but we're also time poor - we don't to waste time translating your post, and this can be very hard to read if you're viewing the blockchain from outside Hive.

If you want to make it dual language, write in English first, then your own language.

We don't mind if the grammar isn't quite right - we just want your heart and soul.

Photographs

Unless it's a before and after shot, keep it to one photograph per plant and be selective about your photographs.

Collages are welcome.

We really, really don't like ten blurry photos of the one plant from various angles. Less is more.

Snaps

We also look for the #hivegarden and #gardening tags on Snaps. You'll find this on the Peakd platform. It's just like Twitter or Instagram threads.

Don't be a 🍆

Discussing politely can result in a much nicer resolution than being reactionary.

Remember the admin team is just trying to help and support you and the interests of the community.

Please be kind to others and be a good human.

Above all.... remember that genuine community involvement and orginality is appreciated. We're forgiving - but we can't tolerate spam or abuse because we want to make our community a good place for everyone.

Happy Gardening!

Time for A Hive Garden Banner? Request In the Comments! [Plus Bio Code]

gardenhive — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 02:39:48 GMT

It's been a while since we had time to encourage you to proudly wear a Hive Garden banner or footer image on your posts! We have a little time this week to get to it, so if you would like a banner, please let us know in the comments below!

It's important you:

a) Tell us which platform you post on regularly eg Peakd.com, Hive.blog
b) Provide a clear photo or tell us what you'd like eg 'sunflower' 'cactus'.

We'll either pop it under your last post or under your comment here, so make sure you check your replies for your image. Simply cut and paste or download for insertion in your post.

Here's a lovely example from @themyscira

and another one from @markone85

and from @sunscape

And one more thing...

We're encouraging people to also put a little bio on the end of their posts, as it helps other gardeners see where you're gardening, and what kind of garden you might be into. You can save both the footer banner and the code for the bio as a template (creating one in Peakd.com is easy!). Of course, you can present it any way you like - this is merely an example.

Copy and paste this code if you'd like the above format! The first bit of code is your photo.
