Whatever Comes To My Mind

One of the many things I truly missed from the Philippines is the chance to have a garden all year long. Ryan and I did have a garden when we were living at Dad’s house when we first got married. I was out of work for a few months and waiting for my papers so we thought of utilizing Dad’s big space and made a garden. I was getting bored staying home and I remember Dad telling me, “make most of this summer because this might be your only summer where you are not busy” and he was so right. The next summer I was already working and going to school and I was so busy since then. We don’t have a garden in our backyard right now. Our space is so small and I really don’t have the time but hopefully when we move we will have a garden again.

Us watering them.

My favorite cucumber and corn. We also planted watermelon and tomatoes.

I am glad I was able to save a lot of copy from our first garden. It would be really nice to have another one. What I like about it is you can just get out and get some fresh ones. The pictures below are a garden in the Philippines. The one on the left is the local version of Jalapeno and the ever missed eggplant (talong). I wanted to make some talong dish yesterday but I couldn’t find any from the Filipino store or from the Filipino restaurant. We have the long and slender eggplant not the short, round and fat one that they sell here.
