]]> I thought I’d give you guys an update of my garden process :)

My father discovered that our cabbages was infested with cabbages looper’s (The ugly green type caterpillars). So far we killed approximately 4 cabbage looper’s aka cabbage worms. I’m very skeptical about using pesticides, fearing that it would containment the fruits and I who will be eating them once their fully grown. My goals is to have everything organic with no pesticides. I don’t mind doing a little bit of extra work to keep it that way :)

I would like to share you guys what my garden looks like :)

A long time ago I’ve bought a freshly whole pineapple at the grocery store, I saved the top and planted it in the pot. I thought it wasn’t going to grow but look at it now. I cant wait until my pineapple plant produces a fruit :)

]]> A few days ago I was getting very concern whether or not my peppermints will reach the germination stage. I couldn’t believe how small the seeds were and how lucky would I have been if I had even 1 sprout out, well guess what? I got extremely lucky! Total of 3 have germinated!

I’ve planted both peppermint and spearmint to get the organic oil tastes from the leafs, once it has fully grown, to start using it to drink tea as a natural flavor.

]]> I thought I’d make a short blog about what I’ve been doing to myself lately :)

Just recently I found a healthy hobby, thanks to my two close friends that got me addicted to veggie gardening. It gave me the opportunity to keep my mind busy and focus on positive activities rather then having to think about all of the negative thinks that I usually think about.

My Sun Flowers
Heres my baby sunflowers. I grew them from seeds, aren’t they beautiful?

My baby veggies
My veggie garden that I grew from seeds. The tall plant is my string beans.

My Cherry Tomatoes
Ok so I didn’t grew these from seeds but I’m still proud of them :) They’re my beautiful Cherry Tomatoes that I hope produces tons of tomatoes :)

I have more that is in the main garden. I have a verity of plants from Cucumbers (I grew from seeds), cabbage, Broccoli(I grew from seeds), string beans(I grew from seeds), Green onions(I grew from seeds), Onions, Bell peppers, Regular size tomatoes, which I’ve found a baby tomato growing on one of the plants. I will try to take a snapshot of my entire garden soon.
