Everything is coming up roses! Literally! There's an area in my backyard that used to be my pride and joy. The Rose Garden aka The Fragrant Garden, was what I used to call it. It's right next to the fence that borders the neighbor's bamboo grove. After battling the marauding bamboo for so many years, rather unsuccessfully, I sort of gave up on it. I haven't even so much as pulled a weed, let alone watered or fertilized the area. Well, what do you know? Roses like to be left alone, I guess. ... continue reading...

Fiesta Friday #536
Omigosh, you guys! I was strolling in my backyard last night (well, not when it was dark but at dusk) just before it rained, and I spied that my Pink Lemonade blueberry plants are finally producing fruits! Woohoo! There aren't a lot of berries since the plants are still small, but just imagine, in a few years, I may be harvesting bowlfuls of pink blueberries. Imagine this scene but with berries that are pink in color! Wouldn't that be amazing?! And then, of course, I will have to make ... continue reading...

Or I can just go to Plaza Azteca and enjoy their excellent guacamole as much as I want! I haven't done much cooking or baking or anything in the kitchen, ... continue reading...

Have you ever heard of the term “rewilding”? It refers to an effort or a movement if you want to call it that, to return your garden to a more natural or uncultivated state. It does seem to be gaining momentum or getting more popular. I've been encountering more and more articles advocating it. In principle, I agree with the idea of rewilding. In practice, however, it's a little unnerving to do it. If anything, I’m guilty of doing the opposite - I’m constantly “de-wilding” or reclaiming the ... continue reading...

You sure can’t rely on Mother Nature these days… or has it always been this way all along? That Mother Nature is unreliable? I had planned to have salad for dinner every day this week since it felt like summer at the start of the week. The fridge is fully stocked up with lettuce, chicory, endive, spinach, cucumbers, and tomatoes… no, not tomatoes. You don't put tomatoes in the fridge, do you? Anyway, just lots of fresh veggies. But yesterday my body just refused salad. My body needed soup. I ... continue reading...
