My family begins each day after wake up by sipping warm water mixed with lime juice to cleanse and stimulate vein circulation. We are pretty lucky in that we never have to buy lime fruit because we grow our own and it is available all year. Because there was a lot of rain last night, the weather for this Sunday isn't going to be very hot. I went for a little walk in my mom's garden this afternoon and selected some lime fruits to make a Lime Soda for an afternoon drink. Lime…
The weather is gloomy, windy, and chilly today, with light rain. While I am enjoying my mom's garden this morning, the weather is rather pleasant. The rain over the last few days has benefited the plants and flowers the most. Wrightia Religiosa, often known as Water Jasmine, keeps producing new blossoms, filling the yard with a gentle, pleasant scent. Among the fragrant tropicals, this is one of the most beautiful, interesting, and helpful plants. Flowers are fruity scent,…
I've planted a range of different Coleus Plant varieties in my garden, but I've never seen the lovely flower of a Coleus Plant. This morning, while enjoying the chilly weather and flowers in my mom's garden, I had the opportunity to see the beautiful flower of the Coleus Plant for the first time. Coleus flowers are appealing because they produce spikes of tiny blue or white flowers at the end of the season. These little blossoms make a lovely cut flower or can be left on the…
I've been enjoying the chilly weather with light rain for over three days now, after months of scorching heat. The tropical summer storm is expected to last for a few days. So now is a fantastic time to add additional natural compost to the plants, trees, and flowers across the property and in my mom's garden, and then let them enjoy the fresh rain to help them flourish again. A Jungle Geranium, or Ixora coccinea, is planted as a boundary shrub on some of my parents'…
The rain has stopped, but the weather is still pleasant, with plenty of sunshine. I began my day by picking up fruits and veggies from my parents' land and garden early in the morning. I spent the morning gathering up these Karonda Fruit, also known as Carissa Carandas. These fruits are halfway to becoming fully ripe, with dark pink color and softer flesh. But I love the unripe Karonda Fruits, which have a sharp, sour flavor and are greenish-white to pink in color before…
It looks to be raining, yet there is no rain. I've been busy seeding plants and vegetables since I need to choose the strongest ones to plant on the ground. Now I have a large number of new young shoot plants ready to be transplanted into the ground in the coming week. There are also many vegetables and herbs that I need to pick for our cooking and to give to family, friends, and anyone in need. These tiny flowers of Asystasia Gangetica, or Chinese Violet, are growing within…
I began my Saturday morning in the garden, preparing the plant beds into which I will transplant the young vegetables and herbs next week. It was a beautiful day with bright sunshine and a wind breeze. I believe the Rain Lily's blossoming bloom season is coming to an end. However, with the recent rain for the past weeks, the light Pink Rain Lily has blossomed all over the place. It's really nice to see the small space covered in gorgeous blossoming blooms. However, the rain…
I don't celebrate International Mother's Day today, but every day is a happy day for me since I always spend time with my mom and dad. The rain has been pouring heavily till now, after I spent a few minutes in my mom's garden enjoying some flowers and plants. To treat the new rose bushes, my mom decided to clean and trim the rose branches and plant beds. Even though the leaves were scorched by the hot sun, the rose bloomed brightly lovely pink flowers. Personally, I believe…
My Monday has been really productive, as I've been busy harvesting the Spring Onion that my mom planted for our home cooking since early morning. Now that we have plenty of Spring Onion for our own consumption, we should gift them to our family and friends rather than wasting them. Spring Onion flowers are tiny and lovely, but they indicate that the plant is about to enter the seeding stage of its life cycle. Spring Onion is one of my favorite veggies since it is flavorful…
Every day, it remains to rain. Some of the land clearing work is currently on hold, but the Rain Lily in this spot continues to amaze me with their stunning blossoming blooms every day. The Red Rain Lily Flower has begun its blossoming bloom today, and they are extremely rare. The bright yellow color in the center of the rosette of the Red Rain Lily is really noticeable, and the color contrast is enough to capture anyone's attention. I hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday.
This Wednesday will be quite hot during the day. I was busy cleaning the water lily and lotus container ponds in my mom's garden since late morning to remove all dead leaves and debris, as the water would otherwise become algae blooms. The flowering buds on the pink lotus flower have formed, and they will be cut on this coming Sunday on Visakha Bucha Day, which honors the Buddha's birth, enlightenment, and death, as we are Buddhists. The lotus flower, a plant that rises…
Light rain began in the early morning and ended before midday. I could only work in my mom's garden for a few minutes in the afternoon before the rain returned. Even if I only spend a few minutes in the garden, I can appreciate the lovely pink blossom of the Schomburgkia Orchid, which has just begun to bloom. The Schomburgkia Orchid is a large orchid native to Mexico and southern Brazil, with large plants that flourish in hot and humid tropical climates. I hope you all have…
Every day, the rain is still with me. After the rain stopped in the afternoon, I rushed to my mom's garden to see the water lily and lotus container ponds, which had been cleaned the day before. White Water Lily's flower bloom has opened, revealing exquisite bright yellow stamens in the rosette's center. The fluffy, bright yellow stamens are really adorable. I wish you all a wonderful Friday.
My Saturday was really productive since I finished planting galangal, ginger, and lemongrass in the area that I had cleared a week ago. Those young plants will now benefit fully from the rain that is falling every day. Before returning home before the rain, I took a break to enjoy the lovely Pink Rain Lily, which has begun its new flowering season. We will have more rain at the end of this month because we are now in the rainy season. Wishing you a wonderful Saturday and…
Rain continues to pour every day, which is fantastic for my plants and trees. Without rain, the weather will be extremely hot during the day. My Sunday rain started early in the morning then stopped, so I seized the opportunity to harvest herbs, vegetables, and fruits around my parents' property before they rotted due to too much moisture. Picking them will also boost new growth and allow them to benefit from the rain. The wild tomatoes have begun to bear fruit; some are…
My Monday has been filled with rain, heavy rain since early morning, then a break, and now it's pouring lightly again. When the rain stopped, I went to my mom's garden to inspect the young banana plant that I plan to plant next week. Neoregelia Johannis has begun to blossom with its lovely mix of white and purple flowers. The bloom that emerges from the middle of the rosette is so gorgeous and small. This sun-loving bromeliad has a splash of shades of red at the end of its…
My mom planted a Millingtonia Hortensis tree, commonly known as Tree Jasmine or Indian Cork Tree, in a corner near my parents' bedroom. When I walk into their room, I am greeted by a lovely light sweet scent of Tree jasmine Flower. This is an unique fragrance. The Tree Jasmine is a tall, thin tree with long white fragrant blooms that bloom straight out and then hang down. The blooms appear to have four petals at first glance, but they fact have five, two of which are smaller…
It's great for me that the rain has started early in the morning, as it helps to keep the temperature down during the day. The rainy season is the perfect time of year to start growing new plants since they will gain the most from the rain. However, you must ensure that the soil is well drained, or you may have a fungus problem for your plants. I've had a busy morning organizing, classifying, and grouping a variety of young plants before moving them to the place where we'd…
Today is a productive Thursday since I transferred the young fruit trees, trees, and bananas to the place where we will plant them despite the rain. Those young plants will rest there until they are comfortable with the area where they will grow on the ground. I have no idea how it works, but I simply follow my mom's instructions. I took some time to relax and enjoy the flowers in my mom's garden before the day ended. Even though its leaves were plagued with diseases and…
After spending last Christmas with my dad and mom, I'll be returning to my home and property next month. While I am here, I have a lot of things I need to accomplish for them. During the rainy season, a cloudy sky with less sunshine is quite normal. With less sunlight, the algae bloom in my mom's water lily and lotus pond is a significant concern. A week ago, I cleaned and removed the dead leaves and debris from the pond that were blocking the sunlight, but the algae bloom…
I started my Saturday early to escape the rain and finished the ground preparation for growing a variety of plants next week. And it was my brilliant decision that the rain began to fall heavily after lunch. I was walking through my mom's garden for lunch when I discovered the Dragon Fruit had established its flowering bud. I'm not sure if I'll get another chance to enjoy its lovely flower and juicy sweet fruit because I'm planning to return home next month. How's your…
The rain continues to fall after our breakfast until now, making it a lazy Sunday. After breakfast, I went for a little walk to see my mom's garden, and these Pink Caladium that my mom had put in pots need to be relocated or the soil combination changed. With less sunlight and rain each day, it appears like these Pink Caladiums got a lot of rain and moisture, causing their foliage to become sickly and not brilliant pink as usual with yellow leaves around the edges. It's also…
It hasn't rained since the morning. And, yeah, the weather is scorching. It feels amazing to have finished one section where I needed to plant new young fruit trees, trees, and bananas. It will probably take a week or so to finish all of the areas. Before returning home to conclude my day, take a bath, and relax, I spent some time in my mom's garden, relocating the Pink Caladium to where my mom had put the Alocasia or Elephant's Ear. I'm not sure why my mom keeps…
Even though it is extremely hot, having no rain throughout the day allows me to work for longer periods of time, enabling me to complete another session of my planting of new young fruit trees, trees, herbs, and vegetables. There's an area where my mom planted chili varieties. Some parts of the chili were harvested a week ago, while others are still flowering with white flowers and bearing young chilis. I discovered that the chili in this area has been infected with Veinal…
I understand that there will be some concerns about how this platform works. But it appears that no one can have an answer, and all we can do is enjoy it while it is up and running. My Wednesday has no rain and is terribly hot. My planting of fresh young plants, fruit trees, and other items has gone well, and I anticipate to be finished by Saturday. I discovered many flowering shrubs that we never planted and grew up organically while putting new young plants on the ground.…
My planting work was nearly complete, and the weather was not particularly hot, with less sunlight and no rain. The weather is cooler during the day because it rained yesterday night. Jungle Geranium plants surround the area where I am planting a new fruit tree and tree for today. I believe, my parents simply planted them to fill the space because the Jungle Geranium is easy to care for, tolerant of draughts, and requires less care. Jungle Geranium's vibrant dark pink color…
This Friday is scorching hot, with no chance of rain in the forecast. I'll finish all of my planting of young fruit trees, trees, bananas, herbs, and veggies tomorrow for half a day. Before returning home to continue my day, I stopped by to cut the bananas and bring them home, otherwise they would be devoured by birds and squirrels. We never buy bananas at my parents' or my house, and they are always available all year with different varieties that we grew. We use all…
Finally, as anticipated, I finished planting young fruit trees, trees, bananas, herbs, and vegetables. I'm hoping for rain on my way so that the young plants can be refreshed and revived. I don't make a living from farming, but growing our own food and enjoying my gardening are two of my best ways to spend my time. I harvested the winter melon that had grown to a decent size today. Actually, each fruit weighs about 10 kilograms, and I harvested 120 fruits today. Because some…
The sun is shining brightly this Sunday, and it's fantastic that the temperature isn't too hot with a nice breeze. The dragon fruit whose blossoming buds I showed you a week ago is already in the process of producing its fruit. I'm really disappointed that I won't be able to see the magnificent bloom flower because it's only open at night. If I'm still at my parents' house in a month or so, I'll be able to enjoy its fruits. Have a great day and enjoy your Sunday.
Rain has been absent for several days, and the weather has returned to its previous state of high temperatures. To help my baby plants survive the heat, I need to water them all that I planted the other day. It would be extremely beneficial to all of my new young plants if it rained. I'm fascinated by any flower that bears edible fruits. My parents have a lot of banana trees in their backyard garden and around their property. Some of the banana blossom flower has matured…
It's fantastic that I got rain yesterday night and during the day. As a result, my newly planted young plants will get the most from the rain. I went out to check those new young plants after the rain stopped, and the area is properly drained, and the new young plants are really fresh. The lovely sweet aroma of flowers caught my attention while I was going about. Later, I discovered that Telosma cordata, or Chinese Violet, had begun to flower and was in the process of…
