A Tour Of The Raised Bed Gardens # Urban Farming In Uganda🇺🇬

The raised bed gardens are doing amazing. I cannot wait to show you. Hi everyone, how are you doing today? If you're here for the first time, I am Sarah Pedun, a very passionate farmer. In today's video, we're going to have an update on our raised bed gardens. I shared here the whole process and today I'm going to show you how it's doing. This is the garden shortly after we had just refilled. I had the Chinese cabbage that I transplanted in here. This is how everything looked. I was excited to see it just the way it is. Here the green beans that I'd planted, they had just started sprouting. And then these are the tiny, tiny seedlings of cauliflower. And I forget what was there. This bed, you could barely see a thing. We have five raised beds. And as you can see, they have things growing in them. Let's start with the first one. In here, we have cauliflower. It's healthy, but there's something that is nibbling. There's cauliflower, then just one red cabbage. This is fennel. I've never really planted it. It's my first time. And over here, we have the Chinese cabbage. That does not look so good anymore. I'm going to, okay, this one is okay. I'm going to harvest the rest and plant something else. And these are cherry tomatoes. They're the black ones. I planted this from a cutting. The mother plant is somewhere there in the downer bed. If you have never tried planting a tomato from its cutting, you should try. For example, this one, you could just cut from here and plant. That is what I did to this. We have eaten this Chinese cabbage, but it's not doing well anymore. Something is eating them up. So I'm going to cut them and feed them to the birds. I guess the tomatoes are happier this way. I also have seedlings that I'm going to transplant in the spaces I'm picking the cabbage. They won't be as packed, but I'll put some more seedlings. So as you can see, there is no space created here. I have very many seedlings growing down here. There's spinach. There is eggplants, garden eggs. There's a lot going on down here. Coriander. So I'm going to find something and I'll plant here. I'll pick a seedling from there and plant here. This is passion fruit. I don't really need. Harvesting some marigold. I have friends and subscribers who want some seeds. Whoever wants them will get them. Second bed. This fennel is doing much better. It's firm compared to the other one that seems like it's getting off the soil. I'll have to put back soil under. And here are the leeks. Leeks are also doing well. I don't know if I should trim off this part and they have a fresh growth. What do you guys think? I'm tempted to just cut it off like this, like this, and let them have a fresh growth. This is also going out. It does not look good at all. Lettuce did not do well and the ones that were here have been nibbled up. Like I said, I have seedlings. That is going to replace whatever I'll take out of here. I did not plant this. This is a volunteer pepper. I keep forgetting to pick the eggplant. Maybe let me just do it now. This was the second bed. Let's go to the third bed. This is our third bed. It's very lush. These are our green beans. The ones this side are flowering. Green beans doing well. Volunteer pepper. Actually, volunteer peppers. I'm saying this. I'll have to transplant them out of here. A tree tomato. Gooseberries. These are all volunteers. I planted something else here but did not do well. So I'm going to take out all this and plant something else in this space. This is loofah. I don't want loofah growing here. I don't need it here. This is ginger. I think it came in the soil. Oh my god. I have seen popo here. A popo seedling. I'll transplant most of these things. This cabbage is not doing so bad. Okay, this one just got off. This is food for the chicken. I'm going to transplant whatever is here. These are the things that eat my plants. Oh no, don't fall. I'm going to remove the seedlings that are here and weed. Maybe I'm going to stake this also so there's sunlight penetrating through here and maybe those insects will get that comforter because there's no sunlight reaching down here. So that was the third bed. This is the fourth bed. The radish looks very good. We are so happy here. I like to visit the garden every day, every single day so I can see what is not right, what is right, what needs to be done. This one does not look good, does not look healthy. Still these insects. Oh my god. You can see the radish forming already. This is cauliflower. There's still some cauliflower here. I transplanted them out of this bed but I left a few and they're doing well. Oh, there is cucumber. I don't know how I'm going to manage this. I'm hoping that the radish is going to mature very fast and the cucumber and watermelon and the cucumber will manage to stay here or I'll trellis it up here and for the watermelon I'm going to let it be. I'm going to let it go down until it takes there. It will occupy here. So that's the plan for this bed. It looks beautiful. I'm going to remove some of the cauliflower that is here. This will not do well. The radish is overtaking them. This is the fifth and the last bed in this area. Look, this is palak spinach. I've never planted this. It's ready for harvesting. I think I'll harvest it tomorrow for breakfast or lunch. I don't know. Also it needs weeding. I try to pick the weeds, pull out the weeds as much as possible. This makes me happy. It looks so beautiful. These are all volunteers. These are volunteer guavas. I don't want them here. So all these volunteers, onions, they do not do so well here. So I'm going to remove out the volunteer plants, tomatoes, all these I did not plant. I'm going to take them out and plant carrots. I haven't planted carrots yet. I'll plant carrots. This is taro. I didn't plant it. I think it was in the soil and fennel. So that is it for the five beds. I have two beds the other side, two old beds the other side that I would love to show you. The kids really want this guava and I'm going to let them harvest it. You guys hurt the plant. Oh, that's very big. Mommy, see how big mine is. Here I have three beds. One, the second one and the third bed. Just have sweet corn, strawberries and mint, garden eggs and here we have this monstera, the watermelon, peperomia, pineapples. I'm going to remove the pineapples from there. They're not getting enough sunlight. This is my skooma wiki. I think I have to cut it back here. The okra that I'm going to harvest right now. Most excited for in this bed is these cherry tomatoes. Look, I have never planted this, the purple or black. My sister traveled and brought some cherry tomato seeds. I planted them. Unfortunately, the rest withered. But this one, oh my God, I'm excited. So excited. So the plants that you saw on the raised beds over the other side, this is the mother plant. I took cuttings from here. I might do cuttings again. So I took cuttings from here and planted the other side. I'm so excited for these cherry tomatoes. We have pepper, gooseberries, Chinese cabbage, kale, sweet corn, the other side. So that is it for this bed. The colliers are looking good. Actually got another color that I've just planted. I'll have four colors of corn. No, I'll have, yeah, I'll have four colors. This, this, this. Oh, I'll have five. Color. So this garden, I'll have a tour of it another time. But today we are harvesting another matoki. I think you're bored of seeing our matoki harvest because we harvest all the time. Remember Joseph took one, if you watch the previous videos, and there is this one that we're going to harvest. There is this guava. I don't think it's good. Sky, stop. Sing a tune.
