It's alive!

After one of the zucchini plants, let's call it "chini", is forced to moved to a new location, I was sure it would die. When I moved "chini", it had one little fruit on it, no bigger than my little toe. All the leaves died the next day, but the fruit grew! It's exactly a week after and "chini" has a fruit of 3 inches long. It also has new leaves coming out.

"Chini" is alive. How amazing is that!

It's gonna rain; It's not gonna rain


I've never paid so much attention to weather like I do now. All of the main projects that are to be done this year are dependent on the weather. Seal the driveway, stain the deck, spray Roundup, to name a few.

Yesterday the report says sunny most of the week, today the report took a 180 degree turn.

The weather couldn't make up its mind......Or it just wants to mess with mine.

OMG...I think it heard me complaining!!!!! It's raining!




Painful Sacrifice

I knew zucchini plant could be big. Everyone warned me about it, but I didn't know it could be that big. I planted 2 on the same row, less than a meter apart. It's a mistake. A fatal mistake. At least for 1 of the plants.

The one on the outer side is not so healthy because the other one is invading its space and crushing it.

"We have to take one out to give space to the other one."
"But it may die."
"It's not producing any fruits. Better to have 1 healthy plant than 2 unhealthy ones."
"But it may die."
"It's not happy now. May as well take a chance and move it somewhere else."
"But it may die."
"It will prefer to make the sacrifice for its friend."

So I moved it. And its dying. All because of me, planted them too closely together.

First sight of redness

After a long month of waiting, we finally saw the first sight of redness in cherry tomato. This is very exciting. Though I'm not sure who's going to eat this first tomato, Kendrick or me. I think it's going to be me.

First Harvest

We collected our first batch of harvest this weekend. Peas are disappointing as it's not even enough to make a dish. Zucchini are growing rigorously on the other hand. We picked a couple of zucchnini and shared with friends. Yummy! Tomatoes are still green, but there are loads of them. Not sure if we are capable of consuming all of them.
