Persimmon harvest

We have several persimmon trees, this one is one of the biggest trees and bears the most fruit this year. I picked a bag full this morning and it tasted so good freshly picked.

First bloom in 10 years

It has been so long since I last blogged here and when checking my blogroll, I see that a few bloggers have taken a long break as well. To be honest, it look me a while to figure out how to post photo and feel like a newbie here. This is an Epi plant from…

First Cucumbers Harvest

I didn't have as much time to work in the garden in the last few weeks and the weeds are growing a lot faster than I can pull it. The cucumbers are coming along and I need to thin out the leaves so it wouldn't be so thick. I absolutely love fresh cucumbers and my…

June 2nd Garden Update

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…

Gardening Progress

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…

Planting in 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…

Seedlings

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…

Seeds

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…

Lunar Eclipse: Super Blood Wolf Moon

Fortunate that the weather is nice tonight and I'm able to see the Lunar Eclipse or Super Blood Wolf Moon from my backyard.

The Midnight Riders

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…

Ice

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…

Year In Review 2018

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.…
