Happy Friday Hivers!
Squash is definitely one of the vegetables I really love. I can simply boil it, add some seasoning, and that’s already enough for me to enjoy as a meal. I actually prefer squash when it is very soft because it can also be made into squash soup. For me, that is already super delicious!
And of course, cucumber should never be left out! When I was still working an 8-to-5 job, cucumber was one of my favorite snacks. I had an officemate who also loved snacking on cucumber, so whenever I brought some to the office, I would invite her to the pantry so we could eat cucumber together, especially when they were extra crunchy. So simple, but super delicious!
I once told my mom that I wanted us to grow squash and cucumber in our garden. I thought it would be nice to just harvest my favorite vegetables from our own garden instead of buying them from the market. But my mom didn’t seem interested in planting those two, so I eventually forgot about it.
Then last week, she mentioned that she had seen squash and cucumber seeds at the store where she usually buys seeds. I was so happy because maybe she was finally interested in growing them too. And yesterday, we finally bought the seeds! Now, we finally have squash and cucumber seeds ready for our garden.
I’m really happy that we finally have the seeds. There are only two stores near us where we usually buy seeds, Metro Supermarket and Planters. I haven’t tried buying seeds online yet. Since Metro didn’t have squash and cucumber seeds available, we decided to buy them from Planters instead.
This morning, my mom already sowed the squash and cucumber seeds. I’m hoping they will grow just like our other vegetables that have given us plenty of harvests. There’s also a strong El Niño coming, so I really hope these little seeds will survive the heat and eventually give us a good harvest.
For now, we’ll just wait, take care of them, and see how they grow. It would be so satisfying to someday walk into the garden, pick a fresh cucumber for a snack, or harvest some squash for soup, knowing that we grew them ourselves.
Thank you for reading and see you on my next blog. Cheers!

Namaste! I am fond of reading books, watching korean, american and filipino series/movies and I am also fond of gardening. I love listening to different life stories and I am always captivated with the beauty of nature so travel is my escape when life turns into blue. But hey, how could I forget my photography hobby? It is one of the best, so follow me as I will be featuring my experiences of the stuff that I am passionate with.
