It looks like I have a garden neighbor. I would never have thought that he's a gardener, he smokes and watches TV all day. He lives on the other side and plants his garden in one of the neighbors' yard. I thought it was kind of odd, here he has to pass my house to… Continue reading My Garden in Early June
This year many gardeners have faced various damages to their crops, whether it was a nature disaster of hail storm in the Midwest that we have heard on the news. Or fury little creatures that come to visit our garden. My dad and sister was devastated when the little rabbit came to visit their garden… Continue reading Saturday Random Photos
Someone has been visiting my garden and nibbling on my flowers and vegetables. I have been keeping an eye on it and sure enough Saturday morning he visited again, and this time eating my marigold flowers. He saw me and was trying to hide behind the flower bush. The chipmunk was there also, Bo said… Continue reading Saturday Random Photos
Before I start my Saturday Random Photos, or some might call it Saturday ranting photos, I like to wish all the wonderful mothers out there a very Happy Mother's Day. I have not posted my mother's orchid in a while and it's not doing too well this year. My sister needs to re-pot it soon,… Continue reading Saturday Random Photos
We were fortunate to have good rainfalls and thank goodness the April frosts didn't do any damage to my young plants. Lee was busy digging away. The look on her face when she saw her bird house. I don't know who is trying to build a nest. It is a lot of stuff trying to… Continue reading My Garden May 10, 2012
One of the best things about visiting Grandma is her home cook meal. I was hoping to learn a new Lao dish this visit but we didn't have enough time. There is always the next visit. I've recently developed food allergy amongst other things, and dinner at her house was one of the best… Continue reading Visiting Grandma
I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. My sister Bee brought her new puppy to my dad's house yesterday to play, both my second sister and dad said that it is ugly. I'm not sure if they meant literary. See, it is a custom for Laotian to say something is ugly when… Continue reading Saturday Random Photos
Spring planting came a bit early for us. This year I have expanded my garden by building a few more planting beds out of old wooden deck that our neighbor gave us. The photo below was taken from my deck. Bo is working on making a pathway into the garden. It is a work in… Continue reading Spring Planting
I got up early Saturday morning to wait for the morning sunlight, this was taken at 7am. My garden is doing very well in comparison to this time last year especially the Thai eggplants. They just don't bear the fruit fast enough, My dad gave me some from this garden. I've been eating the chili… Continue reading My Garden July 23, 2011
When we got back from our vacation, the string beans were plentiful on the trellis. We had some good rains while we were gone. The Asian corns were ready to harvest also. My sister is still not happy about picking the wrong types of tomato to plant. I thought they tasted pretty good and a… Continue reading My Dad’s Garden Update
Click here to view this video on YouTube My sister Bee came by with vegetables from her garden. I couldn't resist and made Tum Mak Tang (Spicy cucumber salad) for lunch, freshly picked cucumbers, peppers, and tomatoes are the best. It's great with grilled chicken breast and Jasmine rice. I like to chop my cucumber… Continue reading My Dad’s Garden June 25, 2011
