Holiday is always a day that my husband don't have work except his restday. Holiday is usually a family day for us. It is either a day for some recreation activities, a day for beach and most of the time a time for our garden.
Yesterday, we visited our garden in the home lot we are still paying monthly. We prepare early, eat breakfast early so we could go there early. We bring food for our lunch so we could enjoy our lunch there.
As we arrived there, my husband noticed that the weeds outside the fence are so many and it became his first task.
I and my son went inside and noticed a lot of bush passion fruit. Honestly I just knew its English name right now as I search it with the help of google lens.
When I am still young I and my younger siblings used to eat it when our parents found them in the pineapple field near our house. They were mixed along with the weeds but they can be noticed because of their shape and color. I am eating it before but don't know it's name, all I know is that it is edible.
Until when my husband saw some of it in the nearby lot in our home lot and gave some to my son. He call it utot-utot and others said they call it tino-tino or maria-maria in their local dialect. While eating we just throw the seeds in our lot and we didn't expect that some of them will grow there.
I and my son were so surprised seeing a lot of them in our lot and there were lots of ripe bush passion fruit. We then harvested them and thankfully ate all of the ripe fruits.
What is it's name in your own language or dialect? Have you tried eating it?
After enjoying eating the bush passion fruit I then help my husband clean our cassava plant as well as the fruit trees he planted.
The cassava plant
The Durian
There were bananas that have banana blossom and we need to remove it for the fruit to grow well.
Here are the two banana blossom and we can cook it too.
There were two bananas, one is mature enough and the other one is almost mature but still we decided to get it because we cannot go back there soon.
My husband get the mature one and me get the other. My son took a picture of me and that's the result.
Here are the banana fruit we got from our little garden. We can cook or eat it raw when it is ripe.
My husband saw big moringga trees in the neighboring lot and we decided to ask some so we could plant again in our lot because the Moringa trees we were planted before didn't grow and all of them died.
He get some of its branches and he planted it in our lot.
I am looking around and saw this tree house. I saw some children playing in it. Wow! I remember my childhood days where we also used to play in the trees.
I also saw this house along the farm where their front yard is full of coconut trees. I said wow! This is something similar to my dream house. A house in the farm sorrounded with coconut trees, fruit trees and a lot of vegetables in the garden. I said, if I am living there for sure I would plant vegetables around.
While he is planting moringa trees, I am also cleaning our banana trees.
Our son - the little gardener also wants to participate in our gardening. He planted papaya trees. I hope it will grow.
We're done during lunch time and we had our lunch there doing a picnic style where we only put a tarpaulin on the ground.
We leave there leaving this one big banana not yet mature. We plan to go back there atleast after one week to get this.
That was our Holy Thursday gardening in our home lot. A holiday well spent through gardening and a quality time for our little family.
