The sacks of soil I bought have arrived. They brought me 20 sacks of river soil, 4 sacks of dry sticks, 3 sacks of wood ash, and a sack of coconut fiber. I have enough material to mix soils and make delicious substrates for my plants.

I am going to renew the soil in the recycled rubber planters, adding prepared soil so that, in addition to the elements I mentioned earlier, they also have organic worm compost. While turning the soil, I found this bunch of ginger and some small turmeric shoots. If they are not harvested in time, they will rot in the substrate.


After placing the new substrate in the rubber, I will replant the ginger and turmeric sprouts I removed. This time, I will keep an eye on the plants and harvest them on time.

The substrate for the lilies was also removed. Now I must wait for all these bulbs to sprout again and bring back my beautiful white lilies.

I have moved the lemon plants to larger black bags. There are about 10 lemon plants of different sizes. They are in small bags and can no longer withstand the heat and lack of water.


I also transplanted the cucumber seedlings into black bags; these three will grow very nicely. In time, I will put stakes in for them to climb on. I see that two of them had their roots touched during the transplant, and their stems have fallen. I hope it is only temporary and they will recover. That is what happened, yesterday they were sad, but today they are very happy.



We have run out of prepared substrate, so planting and transplanting are suspended until Monday, when we will prepare substrate to transplant the peppers and tomato plants.

I plan to plant potatoes to make the most of the land. I'll buy the potatoes and let them sprout. As soon as I have the sprouts, I'll start planting.
Until the next update from my garden.

Thank you very much.
How many months does it usually take before ginger can be harvested? We have ginger that’s been growing for quite some time, but it still isn’t ready. How can we tell when it’s the right time to harvest?
I almost always harvest after 8 months, but I always wait for the plant itself to prove it to me. The leaves become faded, and eventually dry. On many occasions I have waited until flowering and for the flowers to wither.
You dig up the soil a little, and the tubers are there, very close to the surface; That's the time to find the spicy bunches of Ginger and the well-flavored Turmeric.
