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.

      

Blackberries

My friend Bussie and her husband gave me a twig of backberry last july 4, 2015 when we visited them at ponderosa, silang, cavite. The mother plant of their blackberry is in Guam. I planted two blackberries from the twig and this january 2016, I saw some flowers. By february 14, 2016, I ate some fruits already. They tasted sour. I hope I can make them sweet.

Tomatoes

I love cherry tomatoes for my salad of arugula, purslane, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Aside from cherry tomatoes, i love heirloom tomatoes. They organically  grow as vine in my garden. I pick them fresh when i need them - their sweetness is incomparable!

 

Coffee

It is valentine's day. I smell the sweet scent of  white coffee  flowers as I enter the farm entrance. It smells heavenly!

                                     

Pol timely  harvested the red ripe coffee beans at the back of the gazebo.       

                      

    

                               

My balcony garden

The best food you can put on your table is from your own garden. 

Space is always a problem in urban living but I use my balcony space to plant cherry tomato, arugula, chinese cabbage, basil, peppermint, and a lot more. The cherry tomato is planted in a pail, held upwards with a tie, a hanging cherry tomato with lots of fruits.
