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....




My Pepper Collection

I love collecting pepper of any variety. Here are some pictures of the peppers I have in my garden.

Habanero

Tabasco


Hot pepper

Cayenne














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....
