It's been a few years, literally over a decade, since I posted anything on my garden diary. I have raised 3 kids, now 19, 16, & almost 14 since I started this site. Now, I start a new with an 11 month old baby, Jared, who brings such a joy to our family. So, here I go again, raising a kid and raising a garden for Jared to forage and enjoy.
Life is busy, always busy, but my love of gardening is always part of my business. I love growing plants from seeds and seeing them bloom and produce fruit. I love eating healty and I have been absolutely spoiled this summer eating a lot of leafy green leaves and exotic veggies. I ate sweet potato tops, aspargus beans or long bean leafy tops, bitter melon tops, moringga or in Tagalog term, Malunggay. Ate lots of string bearns/ okra, eggplants, kale, boc choi, and even tried planting edmime for the first time and also Upo, also known as bottle gourd, long melon or calabash.
I was successful with pickling cucumbers so much so that I ended up making not only pickles but lots of relish. My friend gave me some raspberry plants and they produced this year. We moved to a new house so all my fruit trees are young. We have 4 apple trees, one cherry tree (the other died and needs to be replaced), 2 nectarines, 2 peaches, 2 pears, 4 plums. I started growing apples from seeds and plums as well. I am excited, some of them ar about 1.5 inch tall now, still in a pot to be transplanted as they become more mature. I also have grape vines and have progated at least 6 ready to plant in the fall. Looks like I will need a bigger land for all this, hint hint, lol. We have over a dozen blueberries planted as well. Stay tune as I pick up where I left off and keep up with gardening journal. Happy gardening.
