From my Garden I

A wonderful surprise in my garden, a pineapple fruit!

This plant is about 12 years old and it has only bear fruit now. Blame it on the unusually cool weather early this year.

A friend of mine gave me some organic liquid fertilizer which I dilute and spray once a week. It contained molasses and seaweed. In 3 weeks, a lot of my flowers bloomed. This one is called Bleeding Heart.

This is called Mickey Mouse plant. It had never bloomed this much. 

My friend is a gardener and bee keeper. She is encouraging me to use organic fertilizers and to grow more flowers for her bees. All over the world, the bees are getting sick from pesticides and fertilizers. Maybe when I learn more I can share with you the recipe and instructions for organic fertilizers. But for now please plant more flowers!

Coleslaw

Ingredients :

2 cups thinly chopped cabbage (about 1/2 big piece)
1 small carrot, peeled and sliced thinly and chopped
2 tbsp thinly chopped onion
3 tbsp mayonnaise
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp yellow mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp white pepper
1-2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp white vinegar

Place vegetables in a non metallic container with cover. Mix other ingredients in a bowl and blend. Add to the vegetables, mix until coated and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This will give time for the taste to develop.
Take a small taste and add more of an ingredient to suit your taste.
