Quick gardening update 🙂 today is laundry day, I only have few minutes to blog 🙂
While enjoying a cup of my favorite cereal drink, I always make it a point to say good morning to my plants. And it never fails to give a smile on my face whenever I see flowers blooming from my garden.. imagine mornings with this:
That’s an Okra flower..I have 3 active okra plants, flowering everyday and giving me okra fruit almost everyday.. harvest since Wednesday gave me more than ten okras, perfect for lunch today 🙂 (nilagang okra + pritong tilapia + bagoong na halubaybay with calamansi and sili!)
Aside from okra, beside my garden office/coffee corner is a tomato plant.. I always look forward having breakfast with this:
ang hirap nya i-capture! tuwad, dapa at kung ano ano pa ang ginawa ko.. but these tiny flowers are really lovely. my photo did no justice to these flowers ahaha
The most interesting/ amazing thing happened on my garden is this:
That’s my sigarilyas and I am guessing that it will soon start to flower.. ayayay! I’m so happy when I found out.. jump for joy!
Sigarilyas is very close to my heart, my grandmother used to plant this. I remember as a child, we used to marvel at the sigarilyas vines as well as its fruit..I guess that’s another reason why sigarilyas is one of my (few) favorite vegetable.
My silis are very active too:
and starting to bear sili!!! waaaah
I am a fulfilled gardener this week!
but, I need to manage pests.. specially for my sitaw (which is strting to crawl).. someone mentioned about Marigold… where can I find those coin bearing plant?

July 27, 2012 at 5:22 pmHi! I got excited when I saw your blog about sigarilyas! I love that vegetable, specially, w/ coconut milk. How did you grow your plant? Was it from the fresh seeds of the vegetable itself?
