Updates on my tomato garden

Yes, tomatoes garden.  I didn't plant anything else, because I'm really not confident enough on my gardening skills.  So I wanted to experiment and see what happened these plants before I do more gardening.   Besides I'm on a budget.  and I really did try not to spend too much.

I finally decided a permanent area for my garden.  I have this "eye sore" link fence in front of my yard and thought that it is the perfect place for the tomato plant because the plant can use the fence to support itself.  

After googleing urban gardens, I also decided to use cinder blocks as potting containers. 
they are much cheaper than these red potting containers and because they have no bottoms, the roots can continue to grow. and if my tomato plants gets any taller, I can add another cinder blocks right on top of it.  unlike any other plants, tomato plants will grow roots, if you cover their stem.

as you can see the tomatoes are starting to bear fruits.  yeah...!!!!


baby tomato fruits.

Weird Dream

Had a weird dream last night.  I had a dream that I was in the Philippines, with my laptop bag and purse.  and as I looked out the window, in the far view, was a brewing tornadoes, it was so beautiful, I wasn't really afraid more like fascinated.  So I ran out the door, grab my camera and snap a few photos of this whirlwind of tornadoes.  The sky was unbelievable.  Maybe I can take my time and paint it one day, so you guys can have a visualization of my dream.  Anyway, I ran back in the house, looking for a safe spot, but it was not enough time, so I quickly grabbed my bag and laid as flat as I could on the ground.  In panicked I asked everyone to find a safe hiding place.  But my grandmother quickly dismissed it and said, it's not going to hurt you and just continue to walk away with not a care in the world demeanor, which I found strange.  But headed to a closet like room anyway, to attempt my safety.  And when the tornadoes, past, I was so amazed by the experienced of capturing one and quickly wanted to share my photos.  And there they were in my digital camera, photos of tornadoes in the making.  then I awoke.   weird...

and even weirder, the other day, I dreamed of my dogs, that I love soo much.

Dandelions are very good for your health benefits

I did some research today and found out that Dandelions are actually good for you.  I had a friend who use to walk around the field and would snatch some Dandelions and mint leaves.  and she would make tea with dandelions flowers and leaves.  And today I got in a conversation with a friend about it and decided to look up the health benefits of dandelions and omg they are very good for you.

here's the link below

I find it very disturbing that they actually invented a product to target dandelion plants.  That's some crazy shit!
