My left ankle still hurts when I accidentally step on uneven surfaces at the garden. And here I thought it has healed well. Now I am afraid to use the ladder to trim the blue ternatea vine which is invading my kalamansi tree. I am thinking my kalamansi tree might die it it becomes covered by the vines. I could always plant new blue ternatea but it is hard to wait for kalamansi to bear fruits. It usually takes years.
The burgundy okra I planted a few months ago is now bearing flowers and fruiting too. I wonder what’s the difference between the green one this, are they more nutritious. Burgundy looks lovely though than the green. I took a photo this morning but the light was so bright, it came a little blurry. I don’t want t go back and take another shot again.
The three shrubs of pigeon peas are sprouting more branches when I trimmed the tips. Maybe in a few months, they’ll have those pods too. We locally call them “kadyos”. The young green pods could be mixed with other vegetables while the matured but not dry seeds are usually mixed with chicken recipes.
This is how they look like when they are ready to cook.

Would love to plant more veggies even in pots. Our trellis is ready again for hanging vines and vegetables like upo and ampalaya. Still thinking which I should plant first.
