My bestfriend yolly helped me plant papaya seedlings.

Four papaya seedlings were planted 3rd week of  april 2014. We placed chicken manure and compost in the hole and imbedded a small plastic bottle (with holes) near the roots where the compost tea and other organic fertilizer will be  poured.  Then, we covered it with kakawati leaves and twigs so that the new plant would be sheltered while recovering from the transplant.

Termites killed by natural spray

Last week sa Hardin ni Juan, i saw lots of termites crossing my pink pathway. I traced their path and i was led to the santol tree which was coated with a battalion of of termites. I tested my concocted insect spray on them  (a mixture of dishwashing liquid, garlic, chili pepper and melted perla soap and water).  Immediately,  they were immobilized. I thought they will not die but lo and behold,  my spray killed them.  Thanks natural spray!!!

Squash trivia

I found out a month ago  that the main root of my squash plant died already yet the sprawling leaves  are alive and still bear fruits.  I harvested one of the fruits, about 2.5 kilograms but still immature, hanging on a nearby tree and cooked ginataan squash and squash soup. From it..deliciously fresh, Iate what I planted!!!!!
