LOH CONTEST #81 || MY FUTURE GARDEN
Hey guys,
It's been a while since I last posted in the ladies of Hive community but I'm happy I could do something this week even though I came late. The topics of this week really got my attention especially the first topic, which says;
If you plan to grow a vegetable garden, what is your favorite vegetable to grow and what dishes do you use if for? Feel free to include a special recipe using that vegetable!
Well, I've never owned a garden before so I feel this question is really for me. I love plants and the fact that most of them are edible, is something that makes it worthwhile. I have a few vegetables I'd love to grow but if I'm to choose one out of all of them, it has to be cucumber.
Cucumber is a very edible vegetable which have different benefits and uses. Having a cucumber garden will be of great benefit to myself and others as well. I remember when I was living with my foster mom, she loves planting different vegetables in her farmland and one of the main vegetables she had in her farmland was cucumber. Everytime I accompany her to her farmland, I always end up getting some cucumber for myself. Cucumber has so much water in it, it keeps me hydrated and not just that, it fills my hungry stomach.
What dishes can I use Cucumber for?
Well cucumber is a vegetable so it can basically be used for almost every dish. It can be used in preparing fruit salad, it can be used in preparing salad. It can be used in the preparation of pizza, Shawarma, hamburger and it is also used for preparing cucumber salad of course 🥰.
The benefits of cucumber cannot be overemphasized, it has benefits both in eating and applying to our body. Cucumber helps us to prevent constipation, it helps us to stay hydrated due to the quantity of water it contains and it helps one to go to the toilet with easy. Cucumber is a very easy choice for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It serves as antioxidant to the system, your body as a whole.
Like I've said before, cucumber is very edible and you can serve it with almost anything if not everything. So these are the reasons why I choose cucumber as my favorite vegetable to cultivate in my garden if I'm to have one.
I really appreciate the amazing lady @elizabethbit for the amazing topics she brought, it made me really happy just thinking that I have a garden, thank you ❣️. I want to use this opportunity to invite @merit.ahama to join in the contest.

Thanks for sharing your thought!
I'm glad you love them too. Thanks for your comment dear.
You are welcome @hopestylist 😊
Thank you

My grandma used to serve sliced cucumbers in a vinegar and sugar liquid that was pretty tasty. I think I might would add some dill to it when making it. It was a sweet/sour flavor wrapped up with the cucumber; very interesting! Thanks for sharing and evoking that long lost memory of my grandma's dish. Have a lovely day!
Wow, that's an amazing recipe, I'm glad I made you remember beautiful old memories.

Hi @hopestylist
I share on twitter 🙏.
Thanks.
I just saw it now, thank you so much @kizunasport.
And... cucumber is also a great choice for those seeking to lose weight. You know, it took me a whole before I learned to love the natural taste of cucumber. I always felt it tasted so raw but now I eat it a lot with groundnut as dinner.
Yeah. Most people feel the same way too so I understand. But is all good since you now eat it even as dinner 👍.
Thank you for stopping by and leaving your comment 🥰.
Cucumber is a great veggie to grow although I haven't been able to successfully grow any probably because of our climate.
That's understandable. It is very good here.
Thank you for stopping by and leaving your comment.
That is awesome :) Thank you and it's my pleasure :)
🤗🤗
One of my favorite..cucumber 😁
I love he water in it so much 😋😜.
Thank you for stopping by and leaving your comment dear.
I love cucumbers too and wouldn't mind living new your garden. Haha
Woahoo that explains your love for it.
I can use cucumber to make many foods but most especially I consume this fruit with groundnut the fried one hehehe 😂
It's very crunchy and I like that sounds it makes!
Yeah, that combination is really nice.
Oh I wish I could do that partner hehe
Believe it or not, but you picked the one vegetable that I don't like. I don't even allow it in the fridge because it contaminates the other food in there so that they taste of cucumber too.
However, I appreciate that most people love it, as you do you:)
I know lots of ladies put slices on their eyes when they are doing facial masks!
Great post and good luck in the contest partner, popped in from #dreemport
Oh dear, can I know why you don't like it?
Yeah, ladies use it for facials.
Thank you for stopping by and leaving your comment dear.
I never liked the taste when a kid and have just gone eww whenever I smell or taste it!
And it is always my pleasure partner:)
Oh, that's fine.
So what's your best fruit then?
Fruit is raspberry and I think vegetable is either courgette or mushroom!
Happy Friday partner, I hope you had a wonderful day, I am late today as I was busy.
Wow, that is okay.
