My garden

Presenting to the whole wide world my garden!!! Yes it is huge as usual. And with all the equipment around hubby plowed the ground quickly and viola after few minutes it is done. I planted the garden with lots of vegetables like tomatoes,zucchini,watermelon,cucumber,onion,alugbati,kangkong,white squash,long beans (batong),pepper, okra, eggplant and chayote. I bought the Filipino vegetables in 19 mound road where a Filipina has a nursery and sold vegetables and some exotic plants. She even had a banana tree which I was so envious because it is loaded with fruits. She also had several kalamansi tree which are also loaded with fruits. But I couldn’t help to buy the dama de noche, kamungay and sili which I transplanted to a pot because later on I am going to bring them inside the house when winter comes.

My chicken house..

Yes guys I have 25 chicks right now and they are growing fast. My step son has a chicken house and since he is going to sell his 10 acres property he gave some of his things to his father and relatives. And one that I got is this chicken house. I am so excited to see the first egg. But I don’t know if I will have the nerve or courage to kill those chicken. I guess it will be hubby who will do it since he is the one who like to eat chicken who doesn’t come from the supermarket. In other words organic chicken gusto niya.

 

The Filipino Association Party

Last weekend, it was a girls night out hehe. Actually it was not really exclusively a girls night out but we just agreed not to bring our respective husbands at that time. It was a spring party held by the Filipino association here in MI. Many friends were there we had a good time dancing, chatting and eating of course. Here are some of the pictures taken that night.

 

Bridal shower and baby showers…

Last weekend I attended a bridal shower held at Lanies house. It is our friend Jonna who is going to tie the knot to her husband Keith. There were quite a few friends who came to the shower party. We had some games and as usual the food is good. It was more of pica2x or in other word finger foods which lots of fruits on the side. Then I also attended a baby shower at Ferndale. With me is my sister in law and her daughter in law in tow. It was a long ride from our place so the one who drove us is Pam who just got her new Chrysler car. The weather at this two parties are awesome. Which for us Michiganders love to be outside enjoying the sun and who cares what awaits for us inside the house (like household chores hehe).

 

 

Bad headache

Three days ago I had a terrible2x headache. It comes from the back of my eye and it stayed on my left side of the head. I rarely cried when I’m in pain or something. But that time I was not just whining but crying out loud. I couldn’t help it it is just too painful for me to bear. Hubby was with me the whole time he asked me what he gonna do to alleviate the pain. So I told him to massage my temple but he was so amazed I am not contented with just a simple pressing or massaging I wanted him to pressed harder that I was the one leading his hands to my head. I don’t know if it was a migraine or my stigmatism, hubby told me to see a doctor but just a thought of it makes me chickened out. Thankfully, after I took the biogesic pill I was able to sleep the whole night and woke up feeling alright but still feeling lightheaded until now.

wowee! I like your malungay/ kamunggay tree!! I want one too! I dont blame you for putting them in a pot so you can protect them from the elements during winter time. Those filipino veggies are a treat so take care of them good! haha! You have such a big Garden there Kim! You must have a lot of fun planting and caring for them. Fresh is always the best anyway! Wow, you have fresh egg too from your pet chickens! that must taste good. I can picture your hubby rubbing your temple very hard Kim, it makes me laugh because I had my husband do the same to press harder! I have a high tolerance for pain like you...

Kim Inday,
Looking @ ur garden really makes my day. U seemed to have a very healthy soil/earth up there as I can see the dark color of soil from the 1st foto. And ur plants on the "pots" are loveable. Do u have any "SECRET" or "MAGIC" hahaha? We've tried that technique b4 BUT can't seemed to have a better result. Our pots are big and we put miracle grow on it but the plants weren't growing as we expect them to be. Can't figure out what went wrong.

Hi jeth, I don't have a magic or secret. Maybe it is from the soil and my green thumb . My step son told me to put a starter liquid before planting. The plants that I have put some starter liquid are really doing good. Specially yong mga plants ko na medyo mahal nilagyan ko talaga nang starter liquid fertilizer.
