IMG_20260301_144834.jpg

Today, We decided to visit our vacant lot here in Barangay Punta Silum, its been many days since we did not visited here and expected that our place has already grown with lots of wild grass and trees. It was 8 in the morning when we arrived at the lot and begun exploring the place particularly my Simple Garden. I was very excited to see the place again and to checked if there are any vegetables grows at the garden. Our plan why we went here is also to get more banana leaves for our Crops snacks for Noontime. It takes almost half an hour of checking if there are vegetables left and gladly there are still few of it grows at the garden.

As I finished checking for vegetables, the next thing I did was to get lots of banana leaves. I carefully checked those best banana leaves and see if there are tiny insects living on it. After that, I carefully heated it using a big fire so small insects will die and it is the best way to used for wrapping the mixtures before cooking it. After heating it, I removed the leaves using sharp scissors and started to wipe it with clean cloth. I piled it perfectly and slowly so it wont teared apart. This will be ready to use soon as we back home.

I also gathered dry branches of the trees to be used as firewoods. We always used firewoods rather than stoves and any electric kitchen things. We spend almost half an hour of gathering lots of firewoods and I placed it in an empty sack so I can carried lots of it back home. We kept it ready so we can carried immediately way back home. I also gathered dried coconut husks because because it will be used as a pots for my plants, and some of it will be used as an organic fertilizers and creating smokes for the place.

This are my cassava crops, gladly it grows well stabled and expected to have lots of crops for harvesting season. This place is good for this kind of agricultural plants, I planted some of it at our Farm in Zone 23 but it was hit by a flood flashing away all of it. This is not really difficult to propegate, it only needs to loosen the soil always so the roots will easily expanded. I decided to plant 30 pieces of cassava cuttings and tubings and gladly all of it are already grows in stabled. It can survived in an intense heat from the sun and it must be planted in an open field.

As I at the middle of my vacant lot visitation, I noticed that some of our fruit trees are already produced lots of fruits just like this kaymito. There are lots of ripe kaymito and it will be perfect for salad. As for that, I invited my Mother to get lots of it and making salad when we get back home. It was very easy to get lots of kaymito fruits because it only hang below where I can easily reach it. Gladly we gathered lots of it and the only missing ingredients are sugar, milk and ice.

Its been two weeks since we did not visited here and expected to have lots of trash and dry leaves on the ground. I swept the dry leaves so the place will be clean and look very nice again. We put swing under the big tree and checking our bonsai plants if it is still grows. We rest for almost half an hour here while having a funny conversations.
