My Mom's garden

Last week I went over my Mom's house to visit her . I couldn't help but admire her garden. Every year when Summer time comes, she loves to grow a variety of flowers, fruits, herbs and vegetables.

Pretty flower huh?


This is a Vietnamese vegetable called Bạc Hà . You can use to this cook Vietnamese sour soup, canh chua.



Thai's basils.


Vietnamese mints.


Bitter melon.


cây hồng do`n.



Asian Pears.


Another kind of Asian pears.


Pumpkin? I don't think this is the American pumpkin though.




Variety of Vietnamese herbs.


String beans and Thai's chilli peppers.


Another type of melon. I have no idea what type.

Dong gua = Winter Melon.


Here is another winter melon.


Vietnamese water spinach = rau muống .

She has a lot more of other herbs, veggies, but I think I have enough pictures for the day.
