My blogs are slightly overdue. I have been thinking of putting together pictures and experiences of our recent cruise to Bahamas and stay at the west palm beach in Florida, but first things first. When we reached home almost after 9 days of absence, the first thing I did was; rushed to our backyard. To my pleasant surprise, the plants were green and healthy which means I programmed the sprinkler well (We have had drought declaration in Texas and only can run sprinkler on sundays and thursdays) which beat the Texas heat. Second thing, the Okra plant had okras as big as 10 inches and all were overgrown (Can't be consumed). Second thing, there were at least 4 big Laukis() and one of them is a 4 feet long!! There were over grown ridge gourds, but some were just right. There were pumpkin flowers, there were snake gourds again some over grown. It took me about half an hour to pluck them all and put together. It was overwhelming! Just a small note here, before we left for Bahamas, we plucked even the smallest of all vegetables assuming they will be the right size when we are back, but that was not to be. They just grow so fast and we NEVER had put any fertilizer on our garden, it is purely enriched by our own organic waste at home. I am so proud of our small vegetable garden.. Now I am thinking if people take care of their home garden, they may be self sufficient with their vegetable demand, but who cares...
