Being Self Sufficient

by Jade on May 26, 2011

We live quite far from the supermarkets so we try to be self sufficient as much as we can. When we started our mahogany tree plantation 6 years ago we allotted an area exclusively for tropical fruits. We have planted all the fruits we can think of – you name it we have it.  Most are too young to bear fruits, however some fruit trees like banana, papaya, and pineapple give already fruit. We also had existing trees that gives us fruit regularly like jackfruit, calamansi, and soursop (guyabano).

I talked about my green house in the past and since my posting we have planted several vegetables like sweet potato, beans , bell pepper, green chilies, tomato, and eggplant. I am happy to tell you that we have already harvested most of them and boy oh boy they are really good!

 

Nothing tastes better than fresh produce from your very own garden!

Maganda talaga kapag malawak ang bakuran, pwedeng magtanim. Nakakasiguro pang safe sa mga chemicals at kamay ng iba’t ibang tao :D … Sarap siguro sa inyo, malamig daming puno at halaman. Napalawak siguro ng inyo hacienda.

Wow, kainggit naman! Gusto ko rin magkaron ng green house pero mukhang impossible dahil sa weather dito. Sana magkaron din kami ng “real” backyard soon. LOL.

Napupurga nga kami sa langka nung nakaraan hehehe. I need to think of ways to preserve them other than cooking it with sugar.

WOW!!!! I’m so jealous of your garden. How I wish we also have that kind of land! I only grow mine on recycled pots. I gotta make do with what I have and like you I wanna be more self-sufficient. :) Kudos to you, Jade!:)
