  1. Choy Sum with pork soup - over rice.
    Another simple, peasant meal, that my family has made & eaten for many generations.
    We grow choy sum, year round. We grow several other Asian greens because we want to increase our own fresh & healthy homegrown cultural crops & decrease our money spent buying healthy fresh produce.

  2. I finished my gardening tasks just before raindrops came. Got most of my thinning done. Got all the cucumbers & cantaloupe seedlings repotted. Transplanted more salad greens & peas.

    Added my perlite/vermiculite mixture & mixed it deep into soil in pots before transplanting/repotting. I scattered some over my soil remediation areas too.

    Time to rest a bit before dinner.

  3. My 3rd #VietnameseCoriander container is now totally full of happy plants! I propagated these ones from my main repurposed bathtub planter, in June. They are left outside in Winter & they survive through snow/ice. We harvest them year round on an as needed basis.

    ⚠️DO NOT put these into the ground. Grow in containers so you can control them. They spread fast, if put into ground.

  4. I grew this bountiful #GroundCherry plant from seeds collected from last year's #VolunteerPlant. I dug a volunteer ground cherry plant out from a sidewalk crack, last year & transplanted into a pot. That plant provided loads of #fruits. I saved 2 of the largest fruits for sowing this year's plants - gave several seeds away too.

  5. Don't toss/compost your homegrown #PepperLeaves. #Harvest them because they're food. They can be used as herbs substitute if you don't have basil or mints. They can be cooked & eaten. They're nutritious, so start eating your pepper leaves!

    Mom had told me that in her matriarch village, our relations grew & harvested #peppers & #leaves for many generations. It's used in many different Asian cultures as both food & medicine.
