The mister built me a wooden plant box last spring with the help of the boy. I planted zucchini, tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, and sweet potato that grew in the kitchen because I forgot to boil it. By the way, the zucchini died while we were away on vacation in the West Coast.
Some animals have been hanging out in my garden, and have been snacking on my plum tomatoes, and strawberries. They also love to munch on talbos ng kamote (sweet potato tops/leaves).
Crops isn't as abundant as I had expected due to these animals. It's so frustrating that they're enjoying the fruits of our labor.
But, I do not want to wipe these pests out especially because they didn't touch all of our crops. Look! Our first long cayenne pepper. Such considerate pests they are! Right? Hehehehe.
The mister bought a pack of seeds for me for a dollar at Kaufmann Mercantile over a year ago. Here.
There are more peppers coming, and I hope the pests will leave my garden alone from now on. I got excited when I harvested this pepper yesterday. The mister was too.
I guess we'll be pepper home farmers from now on. Hehehehe.

Reminds me of mine and happy that someone in the blogosphere is doing what I like to do as well. The animals are happy but the gardener is not, time for fencing! Hahaha.
The climate there is so lovely that everything grows easily and healthily including plants and humans!
