Garden Talk



My mum spends quite a bit of time in her garden everyday. I really salute mum coz gardening is really hard work! Believe when I said it's hard work. I was mum's garden caretaker while she enjoyed herself in shanghai with Jane for 3 weeks.

Everyday, i prayed for it to rain so i didn't have to water the plants. It was darn hot in the beginning and mum's plants all looked very sad. If they died of depression, I would surely be held responsible! So, i spent at least half an hour every evening to make the plants happy again...

Then, it started to rain everyday. I was happy coz that means no watering required! yayeeee... my prayer answered! ^V^ BUT, the weeds started to grow bigger than the plants. If mum's plants are malnutrition, I would also be held responsible. So I spent my evening pulling out the weeds T__T


Well, that's life. No matter what happens, there is always something else :P


I really dunno how my mum does it. Gardening really requires strong determination and lots of effort!

My hard work was well rewarded. Mum bought the whole Shanghai and Xi'an back. All stuffed in 3 bags. AMAZING?! how she managed to stuff the whole china in 3 bags? I dunno...

Mum's hard work is paid off too. Just look at the two big angmo liu lian ("sour sop") daggling on the tree! I'd blended sour sop juice this morn. Nice!

All green green. Can u see sour sops?


There are more organic produce to come soon... *Excited* And what's even more exciting is that, am free from gardening work since mum's back! yayeee...
