Strolling in the garden, I notice a flower on one of my ginger plants. I wasn’t sure what type of ginger it was, however looking closely, I realized that it was the flower of a turmeric plant, Curcuma Longa, pictured below.

Guava from the garden
I have been very excited to finally see some fruit from one of my fruit trees, this tree was relocated from my previous home 2 years ago and it was only at the most 2 feet tall when planted. I was surprised to see many guavas on the tree and I was actually hesitant that […]
Garden Update.
After struggling with the weeds entangled in the stones on the back garden and after treating it with vinegar to kill them off, I decide to lift everything lay new fabric and wash all the rocks.

Progress in the garden…
Well, this is how the butternut squash plant is looking right about now and it has plenty of squashes. Today I decided to pick one, maybe a little early but I couldn’t resist and it came in at 7 lbs. 7.9 ounces, I can’t imagine how big it would of been if I left it […]
Oops…I did it again…
O’my, what 2 buckets of seashells from going to the beach on the weekends and a gallon of $9 “oops” granite texture paint for concrete from my local home improvement store inspire me to do. I’ll tell you, I love going to the paint department every time I go to my favorite orange home improvement […]
Playing in the dirt…
So I’ve been busy in the garden as you saw in my previous posts, I’ve been playing in the dirt for the past few months trying to get my garden oasis which still has a long way to go. Here are some pictures from last year comparing the growth and changes. Avocado located left back […]
