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… Continue reading First bloom in 10 years
I can't believe almost half a year flew by and my last post was in April, which means I have missed posting in May. My only excuse is working, most companies are now working toward going lean. Our company is working toward that, which means cross-training employees in another job function and cutting back employees.… Continue reading My Backyard Garden
This is my contribution to Scott's Assignment 25: Your Photography Passion. I have to say that I photograph everything around me whether it be plants, nature, people or events. I am a gardener and I love to photograph plants, it's fascinating to see how fast they grow from week to week. I photographed my garden… Continue reading Assignment 25: My Photography Passion
My sister made Bamboo shoot soup for lunch, it's a tradition Lao food and fresh bamboo shoot tasted a lot better than the ones from the can. It has been raining, and the dark gloomy day is not all bad for photography. I think it made the colors more vibrant and I actually like it… Continue reading Saturday Random Photos at My Dad’s House
It's two weeks before Mother's Day, and the Azalea flowers are blooming. Our family call this a Mother's Day flower because we used to live in New York and the Azalea flowers bloom around Mother's day.

Today is a beautiful morning, but not so much for my garden neighbor's garden. I often heard gardening being compared to life,… Continue reading My Garden Update
It has been a while since I updated my garden and this year my pickle cucumbers didn't do too well and I was surprised to see one grew in the middle of the garden. My sweet basil is doing well, I planted some in pots and a few in raised bed. The cherry tomato plants… Continue reading Mid Summer Garden
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
