Hello Hive

Happy new day to us all. It's a blessing to see the light of another day and the grace to have the strength and enthusiasm to continue in all our endeavours.

So it's exactly one week I have planted these water leaves and it's simply amazing to know and understand a better way to grow these. Can vegetables planting within one week grow up to this level.

I'm surprised myself because these are the stems I have planted below

I had to check the pictures from last week till today to study how much these leaves have grown in just one week. The stems I have planted are completely without leaves and this was done just a week ago here

Within just one week these stems have acclimatized to the ground and brought forth some leaves. This is the new process of planting water leaves that I have learnt using the stems.

Yesterday I have gone to obtain some of the water leaves pods which I have often planted earlier. Hoping that I will propagate these ones too along side just in case the stems didn't survive

One thing I have learnt now how much easier it is to plant water leaves using the stems compared to when trying to grow them using the seeds in the pods, often times not all the pods are viable and it takes a hassle to make the plant germinate from the pods. Why go through all these stress when the stems can be propagated.

With the rate at which these plant is growing it won't take too long before we would have some veggies for eat here. Yesterday I prepared some bitterleaf soup courtesy of the bitterleaves in my garden here. These are the benefits we enjoy from growing our own veggies. We have them handy, fresh and available for use. And now to see that I can grow my favorite veggies much faster is such a blessing. Can wait to see when these will be ready for consumption.

Out of the two planting methods I have demonstrated the best methods one can use for planting water leaves and I hope that one gardener will find it useful.
