Miracle Plant

The most magical plant in my garden is this miracle fruit. I can enjoy an hour of eating sour fruits in my garden like wild strawberry, mulberry, calamansi, camias etc. and they are all sweet! When they bear fruit, they give my garden a bonus.  I can go around my garden eating sour fruits without the sour taste. God is good....

Yellow Passion Fruit

It takes a year for a passion fruit to bear fruit from a new plant. Last August 2015 i planted 3 vines and starting July 2016 some ripe yellow  fruits start falling off from the mango tree and  trellis where the vines were crawling. Now, I  have lots and lots of passion fruits for my juice mixed with honey--- not only for my family but for my officemates as well who also love the juice.  My daily dosage of  Vit. C is taken cared of by  my passion fruit juice. I have read that they have more Vit. C content than any citrus fruit.

l love my passion fruit vines. They are so generous with fruits and are part of my "plant and leave it" variety of  edible plants.

My Goji Berry

It was my dream to have a goji berry plant in my garden. Last year I bought some dried gojis but wasn't sure if they were sundried. Nonetheless, in June 2016 I tried planting them but one month passed and nothing sprouted. I chanced again another store that had dried gojis and bought a pack at P250. Again, I planted them hoping to be lucky this time. A week after, lo and behold they sprouted!!! And my old  planting likewise sprouted after a month!! Now I have these  new seedlings which I take care every night after work. Some survive but a lot died from overwatering. Here are my new babies....

Perline is my youngest visitor so far at the farm. She is a beautiful and healthy baby growing up gracefully.

Seedlings for tomorrow

When I eat fruits, I save the seeds and plant them. I don't know how long they will bear fruit. I always believe that what you plant today, you always have that hope they  will bear fruit sometime. You reap what you sow.

1) Pomegrenate

 

Sometime August 2015, bought a pomegrate fruit from  Suki market. It was big and had succulent seeds. I planted the seeds and I have 5 seedlings growing. The vendor told me it was from vietnam.

2) Giant Ponkan

Sometime February 2016, I bought a very big ponkan for P100. It was as big as pomelo. The seeds grow beautifully.

3) Australian ponkan and australian orange

Sometime September 2015, I bought ponkan and oranges from Shopwise. Their labels  indicate they were imported from Australia. The seeds grow slowly.

Next time I will try planting the seeds of kiwi and apple.

Bush strawberry

This wild strawberry was sold to me in December 2014 by a horticulturist at QC memorial circle. It is  thorny and grows  uncontrollably. The fruits are small and sour.
