Grow Something

This season, we're thrilled to share some tips on growing bitter melon, also known as bitter gourd. These unique and nutritious veggies are a fantastic addition to any garden. Check out these beauties! 🌸🥒

Here are our top 3 tips to help you grow your own delicious bitter melon:

1. Sunshine and Warmth ☀️🌡️: Bitter melon loves the heat! Make sure your plants get at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily and plant them when the temperature is consistently above 21°C.

2. Climbing Support 🧗‍♂️🌿: These plants are natural climbers. Provide a sturdy trellis or support for them to grow on. This helps the fruit develop better and keeps the plants healthy.

3. Regular Watering 💧: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Bitter melon thrives with regular watering, especially during the flowering and fruiting stages.

We hope these tips help you grow your own beautiful bitter melon!

今季我哋好開心同大家分享啲種苦瓜嘅貼士。呢種獨特又有營養嘅蔬菜係任何花園嘅好選擇！🌸🥒

3. 定期淋水 💧：保持土壤濕潤但唔積水，苦瓜喺開花同結果階段特別需要定期澆水。

希望呢啲貼士幫助你種出靚靚嘅苦瓜！

Plants are thriving on the rooftop of Kerry Cargo Centre 🌞🌱. Our organic farming course only started on June 21, which means participants have only been growing for about 6 weeks, and having this amount of harvest is fantastic! 🌟🍅🥬

The great yield is due to the ample sunlight on the rooftop and the detailed care given to the plants by the participants 🌞🌿. Every fruit and leaf is a testament to everyone's hard work and love 💚👩‍🌾👨‍🌾.

喺嘉里貨運中心屋頂上面嘅植物正茁壯成長🌞🌱。我哋嘅有機耕種課程先剛剛喺6月21號開始，意味住參加者僅僅種植咗大約6週的時間，就已經有咁豐盛嘅收穫，真係太好了！🌟🍅🥬

🌧️ 雨天都擋唔住我們嘅熱情！
感謝環保署今天來訪我們的農場，並慷慨贈送咗多種由有機廢物轉化而成嘅產品 🌱 分別有用本地廚餘製成的堆肥 ♻️ 用倒塌樹木製成的生物炭 🪵 黑水虻肥料 🪰 仲有用本地回收塑膠製成嘅花盆 🪴 我哋急不及待用咗啲花盆，鋪咗層生物炭，並喺泥土中混入堆肥嚟繁殖咗一薄荷同迷迭香 🌿
記得關注我哋，留意香草嘅生長情況，以及轉廢為寶嘅成效！🌱💚

🐕 最尾張相係Spot嘆緊黑水虻飼料 😋

🌧️ Rainy days can‘t dampen our spirits! A huge thank you to the EPD for visiting our farm today and generously providing us with samples of organic waste-derived products 🌱 including compost made from local food waste ♻️ biochar made from wood from collapsed trees 🪵 black soldier fly fertilisers 🪰 and even plant pots made from locally recycled plastics 🪴 We immediately used these plant pots with a layer of biochar and compost mixed into our potting soil to propagate some mint and rosemary 🌿 Stay tuned to see how the herbs grow and the effects of these organic waste-derived products! 🌱💚

🌱🍈 節瓜種植小技巧🍈🌱

我們會在初春開始種植毛瓜 🌸 因為它大約需要三個月才能成熟，早點種植可以避開七月和八月的雨季 ☔ 如果你的種植環境不常看到蜜蜂或昆蟲，別擔心！你可以用人手授粉，用棉棒輕輕將雄花的花粉轉移到雌花上 🐝✨ 當節瓜開始生長時，用廢紙包好它們，防止被果蠅叮咬。祝你種得開心！🌿👩‍🌾👨‍🌾

🌱🍈 Hairy Melon Growing Tips 🍈🌱
We usually start planting hairy melons in early spring 🌸 It takes about 3 months to mature, so planting early helps dodge the rainy season in July and August. ☔️ If you don’t see many bees buzzing around, no worries! You can hand pollinate by gently transferring pollen from the male flower to the female flower with a cotton bud 🐝✨ Once your melons start growing, wrap them in waste paper to keep fruit flies away. Happy gardening 🌿👩‍🌾👨‍🌾

🌿 Urban farming at its finest! 🌿

We’re thrilled to share that the rooftop farm we managed for Kader Group in Kowloon Bay is thriving with fresh mint, eggplants, chili peppers, and bitter melon! 🪴
