It has been 3 weeks since I last posted about my dad’s garden, it’s time to updating it for my sisters. I’m surprised to see that his Banana trees are doing exceptionally well this year, my second sister is thinking about planting some near her fishpond next year, this will be in front of the house. I think this would be interesting to see, she might have to remove some overgrown bushes that were planted during the time when the house was built.
They’re almost as tall as the house, I had some help from the wind.
My dad’s Pumpkin patch that we thought it would not bear any fruit this year.
I guess I was wrong, you can spot this one right away.
It has been a while since I updated my dad’s garden. I took this picture on June 28th, got up extra early before sunrise.
Things have changed since then. My visit yesterday started out with chasing this butterfly, Lee did most of the chasing. My dad and second sister never saw it but luckily I was able to capture it with my camera, butterfly is a very fascinating creature to me.
Crape myrtle was one of my mom’s favorite flower trees, we planted some at my dad’s house and they came out earlier than ours, I’ve 3 light pink Crape myrtle trees at my house.
Looks can be deceiving, this might appear to be very fruitful but no pumpkin thus far, my second sister thinks that she is loosing her ‘green thumb’ touch.
As we get older, we lost more and more people that we loved, and for some, the father that you loved dearly. I hope this special day, Father’s Day will bring you peace and closure, he was and will always be a part of you.
As for me, I’m blessed to have our dad with us, I think my outlook in life has changed since my mom passed away, life is more precious now than ever. It’s no longer the quantity but it’s the quality of life that I appreciate more this day.
My dad lives a more simple life this day, he spends a lot of his time in his garden and enjoying the visits from his children and grandchildren.

Just to update my sisters on my dad’s garden, my oldest sister wouldn’t be needing to see these pictures since she is here visiting with us this weekend, she is looking at the real garden.
This is my second sister’s old fishpond, she has it sat in the back yard to raise her water lily and water Hyacinth since her fish seem to eat the roots of the water Hyacinth, so she rotates them around. Sue planted some flowers for her, they are perennial flowers so that they’ll come up every year.
I took these pictures on Friday evening, the clouds are beautiful.
Not a lot left on the vines when I got there, my dad picked them earlier and said that I can take a picture of them from the wash bin.
I was at my dad’s yesterday and he had a full house, and watching the little ones playing Hula-hoop made me think back of my childhood memories.
I’m not sure who had more fun, me watching them or them playing, the laughter is definitely in the air. I think there must be a special technique in playing this, look at their hands positions and facial expressions.
A little update on my dad’s garden for my sisters, things have grown since I last posted. My dad built a box area for my second sister’s Water Lily and Water Hyacinth, and we plan to plant some flowers and plants near the top border.
His string beans start to climb the branches.
Pickling cucumber plants.
