Been a while since I’ve seen any constant sun. Darn rain’s been beating on my plants. Pests beating on my plants. I’ve been beating on my plants. LOL.
The help’s out of control talbos:
been watering it with aerated compost tea while she isn’t looking. lol.
A Nice Organic-ish Snack

Took a few leaves of some of my herbs and tried out mixing them together in an open faced sandwich. Took some sage, pineapple sage, cuban oregano, mint( java mint, pepper mint, and choco mint), basil and arugula for a sandwich I was gonna make. So I washed them up, cut everything up in a chiffonade (roll ‘em up and cut them into strips) to nicely distribute the leaves into the sandwich. Got some nice hungarian salami in the freezer and put one piece per slice of bread. Then I put the cut up herbs on top of the salami, then a few cuts of el cheapo quick melt cheese, some slices of regular grocery tomatoes and voila, a sandwich. Toasted them up nicely and then at the end a splash of extra virgin olive oil.
I went to Salcedo Farmer’s Market today to pick up some stuff from Gil Carandang. Couldn’t really stay for long as it was raining. Couldn’t take pictures, again, as it was raining. Next time when I have more time and perhaps more money I’ll hang around there and take some pictures of the wares there and perhaps me and Sir Gil together.
CalPhos and BioNim bought from Gil Carandang of Herbana Farms
don’t panic, it’s organic!
I then went straight to Manila Seedling Bank to check out their wares. When I got there it also rained like crap. We had to rush and buy what we needed and leave or else we’d be dirtying my car with wet plants. Not a good sight.

My beaten up carrots. Got beaten up by the rain last night. Didn’t get to move the plants since I was already asleep when it started raining.
