The survived waterleaf plants

Greetings everyone!

After the dry season and when the rain starts coming back, one of the plants that easily comes up naturally—without being directly planted by humans—is waterleaf. This usually happens in a place where the plant had been grown before and died off due to the drought.

In the little space I’m using for my garden, I saw some waterleaf plants come back to life when the rain started to fall. The plants were very fresh, and before I knew it, they got overgrown and covered with weeds. The thing is, at that time, there were no other plants in the space, so I didn’t really care because I was waiting to resume my planting before clearing the weeds—but little did I know that the weeds had other, tougher plans.

As for the waterleaf, I plucked them several times but lost interest in going there when it got covered by big grasses.

Some weeks ago, I decided to clear off the weeds because I was ready to plant, but by then, the place had been completely taken over by tough weeds, and it was so difficult to sieve out the grasses from the waterleaf. So yeah, I had to clear off everything, but I left a small portion of the waterleaf plants.

I knew the water leaf plants were going to catch up because there was rain.

Two days ago, when I went there, the waterleaf plants had picked up and were waxing strong. The leaves were succulent and looked very healthy. I was tempted to pluck them even though I wasn’t ready to prepare any meal. I didn’t fall into the temptation, so I left them—to let them grow bigger before plucking.

The seeds I once spread in the garden have refused to germinate. Maybe the seeds were not matured enough to germinate.
Well, there's no problem!

Thanks for reading.
