It is a date that will go down in infamy – well at least for us.
First of all Germany lost to Spain which means this year’s world cup would see a new title holder (either the Dutch or Spaniards).
Secondly we are now on wheels… Yes we got our set of wheels finally. This officially means we will be seeking more places to travel to during our spare time. p.s. motor pics to follow.
Last but not least… well, a good news to kept to ourselves for now :)
More will be revealed as we see fit.
It is so good to eat straight from the farm…
This morning’s harvest – Swiss Chard and Sage.
Come 1st July is Canada Day. Celebrated much like our Merdeka Day with pomp and pride. But we only knew last minute that the Citadel Hill opens for free during the day on this important date.
Anyhow we did not miss the fireworks display at 10.00 pm. Unlike last year, we decided to perch ontop of the hill. And to our surprise is less crowded than the waterfront. Next year, we’d probably try viewing it from the bridge.
Here’s a pic of the Citadel Clock tower at night just before the fireworks.
It’s an onion. One that you’ll find quite common amongst home gardeners here. Apparently its a tree onion which means that the bulb grows at the tip of the stem (although they do have bulb at the bottom). We got some from a fellow gardener and cooked stir-fried with it. The bulb that is at the tip is called a bubblet and can be eaten.
Last year, we applied for a plot at Peninsular Urban Garden. This year, we got a nice little plot. Sadly we have to leave our plot a little early and won’t be able to take care of the many plants we grew. I took the liberty of taking some shots of the seedlings and hope they grow and turn out right when we come back. For now, we have 2 types of lettuce, bok choy, dill & parsley, oregano, zucchini, swiss chard, spinach, carrot, ginger, marigold, and green peas.
The plot itself
replanted oregano from others to our plot
here’s a budding hero – our marigold sprouting…
this shy zucchini just starting to breath some air. Was afraid they didn’t show up.
funny how all seedlings either look like a lettuce or a spinach. This one is lettuce though.
ooo… yummy spinach would sure be a great meal for dinner plate.
and a little bit of dill and parsley to season fish or spice our dishes.
