Day 3 of my Kangkung Lives

I have no idea of how kangkung's plumule looks like. I saw quite a number of two-small-oval-leaves sprouting out from the earth.



However, there is one bud with spliting-in-the-middle leaves right in the middle of my vegetable bed. Which one is my kangkung? Or they are merely wild grass?



In the mean time, I had some long bean seeds which fell off from its housing while I washed the vegetables for our meal.

I decided to plant them.


Can you see the seed that I sowed?

I'm not sure whether that's how it's planted. We'll see the results in the next few months.

7.30 am to 10 am Routine

7.30am. is reserved for my son's Hi5 show. It keeps him occupied for at least 15 minutes.



7.45am. I'll watch CSI while my son will be turning the living room upside down. I'll have breakfast while making sure he didn't get into trouble.

9.oo am. It's a forced sleeping time for my son. 10/10 times it failed to get him to sleep.

10.00 am. Another milk feeding moment and another forced sleeping time. 7/10 times he'll sleep. And it's an hour of peace and finish-house chores time.


What's in your mind for this week?

A Lazy Weekend

I bought water spinach seeds and lady's finger seeds last Saturday in Stutong Market

The seeds were bought impromptu. I was a bit disappointed after checking the Net on how to plant the seeds. The kangkung is ready for harvest only after 6 weeks! And the only requirement for it to propagate is lots and lots of water. A blogger even wrote that they are called lazy man's crop in Philippines. If my kangkung fails to grow, I'll be doomed. In US, it is known as noxious weed.

My wife cooked most of our lunches and dinners for the past three weeks.

Beet root soup.



Salted mustard with pork soup and pan fried bacon like dish.



My post will not be complete without a picture of my boy smiling at us.



Blessed Sunday.

Time flies fast. My son is 4800 days old.

He's watching idiot box lately.

His vocabulary is still limited to Ah Bah and Dawg. No more "Turtle".

His social life expands. Only that he's more on the dominant side. Probably because the older children was told to call his "Didi (Little Brother)". He's not thinking twice of snatching other kid's toys.

He has started wiping off water on his face while taking baths.

He waves goodbye but no sign of "flying kiss" yet.

I still haven't figure out what to plant on my vegetable bed..

I started clearing the backyard, making a vegetable garden bed as well


A closer look

My wife paid RM30 for the lawn to be trimmed every month. Since the commencement of my service, keeping the garden "neat and tidy" naturally becomes part and parcel of my daily tasks.


Sleeping toddler

My gardening time is very limited since I can only start working up the soil when my son sleeps.

It's like a form of relaxation after a whole hour of whines and cries.

Any suggestions of what I should start planting? Sawi, maybe?
