It's been a long while since I have come here to write and it is not because I was too busy ...
Would you believe that it was because I could not remember my password or the email address that I used to access this blog! Terrible me!
Anyway, I AM BACK!
But this time, I am more into urban farming than cooking! Well, since the world stood almost still due to COVID 19, we all had time to do something different.
How I accidentally got into planting was.... The land beside my house (it does not belong to me) was cleared to park cars and as a trade off, we or rather, my husband told the Land Owner that we would plant flowers etc to beautify the place. Huh? Duh? What?
In the end, who had to do the work... Me lah! So I got into planting Sunflowers and tried my hand at growing some vegetables and it was not first time lucky... haha.
I failed and only the Sunflowers grew. But it spurred me on. Got me doing research on how to plant this and that and eventually, I got to harvest what I grew to eat!
Winter melons, bananas, brinjals and most recently... tomatoes and lots of cucumbers in addition to lettuce, mizuna and pumpkin.
I found that Petola Segi, Bottle Gourds and Snake Gourd plants grow rather easily. Some vegetables like the Bitter gourds require more care (had to wrap to prevent pest attacks).
I won't go on and on for now... Soon... 😁Thanks for reading. Happy to be back!
