My father doesn't do things by half measures. Even for a backyard gardener, his little farm is showroom perfect. Before he grows anything, he will spend days preparing the patch, from building raised beds to conditioning the soil. That is the reason why his crops are always so lush and bountiful.
Each time I visit, I find new crops growing in his garden. There are rows and rows of Thai Basil as usual. Some yam plants and sunflowers managed to sneak in there as well.
A large vine (pumpkin or some kind of squash) is sprawling over the pond enclosure.
He's growing lady's fingers and brinjal too.
your father and my father share the same passion for gardening. my father's however is abandon for quite a while since he injured his leg few months back in an accident. now he is back in action and new crops are coming up.
ReplyDeletei really love it seeing those photos. i hope can see more of your father's garden.
ReplyDeleteMy mom loves to grow her own vegetables too, she's planted quite a few of them on a property we've bought but has not fully developed yet. I guess her passion rubbed off on me too because i'm now planning to grow som on containers in my own little space at home... thanks for sharing your father's garden pictures!
ReplyDeleteWah... such a pretty "edible" garden. Usually edible gardens tend to be a bit messy right? Not ur father's garden! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI also 'wow-ed' at the amount of basil plants in your dad's garden. And they are so lush!! Please send my regards to your dad and my compliments for his green fingers!! Wish him a Happy Father's Day in advance!
ReplyDeleteHi Ting, I love your dad's garden. I've been growing herb plants in pots on my little planter balcony. Would your dad allow visit to his garden? :-)
