Every day is a rainy day this week. First thing I did when I reached home is to check out the progress of my crops. Last Sunday I sowed cucumber, long beans, marigold, broccoli and Chinese celery. So far, my sweet corns, cabbages, chilies and kangkung seem to show tolerable progress. However but the wait is unbearable. It seems like forever. The seedlings seem to be very fragile. I hope they survive until the end and bestow me a great deal of yield.

The Debut.
It was raining yesterday. Instead of watering the plant as usual, I decided to snap some photos of them. Looks like a few of the seeds I sowed last weekend has making their first appearance.
After a few attempts of sowing the corn, two seedlings finally emerged from the soil. I sowed 10 of them. It was exciting though I marvel where the rest of the seed had disappeared. Perhaps they still are preparing themselves for this special introduction. I reckon the ants ate them. I’ll wait.
The growths of my cabbages seedling are quite convincing. True leaves appeared. Seeds I sowed directly on the ground develop better than the seeds I sowed in a pot. They survived the hot weather when I left home for a week. However, the one I placed at the shady area still haven’t produced any true leave. I transferred the pot yet no positive progress seen. For that reason, I decided to chuck it off and disseminate other seeds.
Other special appearance today is my garden little helper.
The chilies I planted months ago started to bloom last weekend. One or two shot fail to sprout any chilies. However yesterday I saw a number of chilies begins taking shapes. These might be my first harvest.

Growing food.
There is a nice plot at the back of my house. It has been an empty plot since the day we move in about more than a year ago. I always wanted to plant my vegetable there. It would be a great idea to grow your food. When we first move in, my husband was away for work about six months. I was alone with our little boy then. Therefore, there is not much time to spend for gardening. For that reason, I skipped the plan for a while. Later, after two months being together again, it’s my turn to leave home for work about seven months. Once again, the plan has delayed. Now, we are together again. I feel great to be at home after leaving home and your loved ones for such a long time.

The not so common interest.
My husband and I have known each other for the past twelve years. We were classmate then. We never spoke to each other for two years. Only then he has the nerve to ask me to become his girl. After seven years of dating, he finally asked for my hand in marriage. During these seven years, I never met his mother or even his family member. My mother suggests not to. Why my mother did give such advice? She thought that it would be better if no special bond should be established before any arrangement on marriage being made. Dating requires only two people, so we better sticks to that rule.

What the voice in my head says...
This is not my first blog. After a long pause, I think I want to share things that I think and experienced in life through blogging. It’s surely not an easy thing to do since I play many roles in life. As a wife, a mother of a boy and the list goes on. I am happy for who I am. I enjoy everything happening in my life and hoping to be able keeping the positive spirit all the way.
