This is my first weekend without my mom... and I have a lot of activities lined up such as washing clothes, cultivating plants, throwing the trash and other house stuff... a busy weekend indeed... but I'll be going out on a date with the bear after lunch.
Lately, I've been having this thing for plants -- flowering, ornamental and surprisingly, vegetative. I guess I got this from dad. When we're still together back at our old house, we had mustasa, papaya, chesa, calamismis, ampalaya, malunggay, okra and avocado. So I'm planning to plant some myself too. Last night, I bought sili (yung mahabang pangsigang/paksiw), tomatoes and okra. I left them today to dry under the sun. Where to put them? That I still don't know. Since they're only gonna be seedlings in a few days, siguro pwede na sila sa mga lumang plastic na baso. I'm hoping to see myself one day harvesting =).
Gardening is a great stress reliever and a fun thing to do (especially if you've got great tools!). Too see them grow and beautify the surroundings is a wonderful thing. It's frustrating at times because bibilhin ko yung halaman na maayos ang hitsura pero itinanim ko na sa lupa, nalalanta... That goes for some flowering plants that I got from Tagaytay.

Go garden!!!!
I remembered nung HS pa ako, we had a yaya who turned our backyard into a taniman. We had a lot of veggies growing in there tapos everyday we picked up tomatoes and sobrang dami, mapupuno yung mga damit namin.
tapos she also planted sweet corn sa harap ng bahay. astig nga e. hehehe
