My Garden - Part II

Ever since I came back from vacation, I have been so busy. I know I have been neglecting my garden for a while now. Today, I have a day off so I already made up my mind that I will work on my garden. I really need to add more fertilizer to my fruit trees, and vegetable plants.

It's great to get in touch with nature once in a while. I spotted a bee.

Here is another one.


Mr. Bee landed on one of the white flower in my garden.


Wow! Check out my persimmon.


Water Spinach


Yellow Butterfly

Black butterfly



I forgot the name of this plant.


I just found out it's called Plectranthus_amboinicus (Cuban oregano, Spanish thyme, Orégano Brujo (Puerto Rico), Indian Borage, Húng chanh (Vietnam), Mexican thyme, or Mexican mint). According to one site on the internet, the leaves have also had many traditional medicinal uses, especially for the treatment of coughs, sore throats and nasal congestion, but also for a range of other problems such as infections, rheumatism and flatulence.

My Garden

Every morning I would get up and walk out to my deck and listen to the birds sing. It's just a nice way to get in touch with nature right in your own backyard. And the fresh air in the morning is really good for you. It's just a way for me to have some peacefulness before the day begins. Check out some photos I took of my garden.
