The Beauty Of Planting Your Own Veggies

Had to wake up early, so many things to do and our garden is a priority.

Pulled weeds at the perimeter wall outside. It only needs some plants now to make it more lovely. I am thinking of snake plants but I still have to look for a place where they sell it. Snake plants are low maintenance, can survive drought and even clean the air when you put it inside your home, in a pot of course.

I have snake plants here but they are of the dwarf variety, I need the ones which could grow higher than a foot.

I am overjoyed seeing my bottle gourd rapidly growing and bearing fruits. And there are more flowers than I can count. I took a photo of it early this morning.

Locally known as upo, you could sauté  the  vegetable mixed with ground pork or, come to think of it, sardines. And it is a good side dish for fried fish. Today I harvested another jackfruit. Yesterday, the carpenter got one. I have a few more that I am waiting to ripen.  All the rest could be cooked as veggies.  Some of my eggplants are now flowering.

The great reward of gardening. It just put a smile on my face.
