Lots of work and progress in the garden this week; it's only been a week and things start to look very different. The weather is dry in our area, we only had 1 short shower last week. The Shishito peppers love the heat and have gotten so much bigger than last week. I didn't have… Continue reading June 2nd Garden Update
I'm still not done planting all my vegetables. I was making a good progress until fellow gardeners gave me more herbs, plants, seeds and it's quiet a challenge to find space for them. This year, I only plant the vegetables that I want to eat, the Purple Perilla came up this year and I got… Continue reading Gardening Progress
I didn't get to plant until early May and I'm about 50 % done planting. These are the pepper seedlings, a bit small but I think they will survive. The cucumbers are coming up nicely. The Chayote plants are from last year's fruits. The tomato seedlings are small, we had heavy rainfall yesterday and not… Continue reading Planting in Progress
We had a lot of rainfalls in our area, almost every weekend. This will be the first sunny weekend in a long time and it's time to clean the garden and prepare the planting bed. On the meanwhile, I started the seedlings a few weeks back and it's starting to sprout. I purchased my seed… Continue reading Seedlings
The best seeds are the ones from the previous year's garden, I have to say that I'm not as disciplined collecting the seeds and something to work on this year. The Chayote fruits are from last year's garden, I keep them in the garage sitting on top of the potting dirt. They are ready to… Continue reading Seeds
Fortunate that the weather is nice tonight and I'm able to see the Lunar Eclipse or Super Blood Wolf Moon from my backyard.
This is a ghost story submitted to me by EA Tiwat. It is a ghost story written in Thai Language, translated by Nye. I'm not a biker and might have used the lingo incorrectly, I translated as is. The story took place in the year 1987 (Thai year 2530) here in Bangkok, which happened amongst the… Continue reading The Midnight Riders
January 13, 2019 we were expecting snow in our area. The city salted the roads several days back and I was hoping to get several inches of snow. We lost our power last night and it came back early morning. I went back to sleep and woke up again to find that we didn't have… Continue reading Ice
I didn't make a new year resolution last year but my goal was to exercise almost every day and I was able to stick to it and I'm very happy with the progress. It becomes a new lifestyle and hopes to carry this over to next year. I'm taking it one year at a time.… Continue reading Year In Review 2018
It certainly would not be politically correct to call it a Christmas gathering anymore, one of my nieces recently converted to Jewish and can't celebrate Christmas, I was informed and so it's a Holiday gathering. It's nice to have some time off from work and get to spend time with family and friends. At our… Continue reading Holiday Gathering
This is a translated ghost story from The Shock written in Thai Language, translated by Nye. Playing the Ouija board, Thai called it the glass cup ghost was known amongst students but Ann’s school would use a coin. It was a 5 baht coin so it’s probably safe to call it ‘Coin Ghost’. First of… Continue reading The Coin Ghost
I had a good harvest this year, despite not having as much time to spend in the Garden this Summer. The Chayote harvest was in the middle of November, this plant likes the cool weather and not ideal if we had an early frost. This year was not too bad, I had a good turn… Continue reading Garden 2018 Update
