Been away for over two weeks. Found out that all my herbs on the backyard were doing well, healthy and that makes me happy! Sad news about the front yard.....my kaffir lime tree and my calamansi lime tree have been attacked by caterpillars while i've been away. They have managed to eat all the shoots on both tree, leaving only some pathetic stalks and lots of poop on on the ground. Well, my front lawn seemed to continue to be the 'poop' museum for animals ~cats and caterpillars in particular! Mi-mi, my neighbour's little girl, has been delighted by the sights of ugly caterpillars -the black and green varieties...ughhh! The grasess on the front yard are doing well, despite my not being around to water it twice a day for two weeks...something to be relieved about...I shiver at the thought of having to re-do them again...
The reason that i've been away so much lately is that my husband and I have decided to move back to his hometown. The decision has been sudden, but it is one that we have no regret about, pertaining the important reasons that lie behind it: The most important reason ~ to take care of his mother, and secondly, his hometown has a bigger population and that is ideal for our new business venture. So I guess, I'll have to leave this garden that I've started and begin some new adventures. My mother in law has a 'kampong' feel to her garden, which is just wonderful. I have already bought some seeds to start a vegetable garden on her backyard. I'll post some pictures of my progress. In the mean time, my hubby and I will be busy packing. I am a little sad to leave my little garden, but fret not, I'll be taking some plants with me...like the pink frangipanis,and the some small plants that won't be taking too much space. It's just sad really, and my bird's eye chillies have just started to bloom too...I guess I won't be here to pluck them and make sambal belacan with my first batch of chillies...
