Blessed With a Good Harvest: Newly Harvested Four Bitter Gourds in Mama's Garden and Her New Medicinal Plants Called "Paragis"

The weather's really bad in our place right now, and it's been on for, like, three days now. We're really just thankful that it is not continuous. The rain stops for like an hour, and then it will start again. It is also not the heavy one, though yesterday, it made us experience a strong one. But it didn't last long, thank heaven! There's a typhoon right now, I think, in the Philippines, and seeing those who are experiencing it is just devastating. I am wishing for everyone's safety. Stay alert too ᕙ⁠(⁠⇀⁠‸⁠↼⁠‶⁠)⁠ᕗ

As of typing this, the rain started pouring again, and right now I am craving for pizza and burger. I feel like pairing it with choco drink will taste it even better. Sadly, I am out of the budget right now and I don't feel like converting my Hive token especially this is just a "wants." For me to touch my hard earned coins or token, it should be a "need" or a necessities. I'm just being a responsible spenders right, now. So no to food cravings for ┐⁠(⁠￣⁠ヘ⁠￣⁠)⁠┌. This will do for now and I only spent 11 pesos for it.

So this is the situation of the small river near our home. Thankfully the water level is still low. I just hope it doesn't change. You know how even the light rain, if it's too often, it can still resulted a flooding. But now, I should be positive that this shall pass!.

Anyways, i'll be sharing another update of our plants in Mama's garden. This is a different plants, at least different from what I shared last week. And this was planted on the ground and seriously, I didn't noticed that the buttergourd here is already as big as the one on the upper part. Looking so good no? I took this last 2 days ago, the weather that time is a little okay but it rained during the night.

And here the ginger, it's been 3 weeks, the furst time I shared about it. The first two photos is Mama's plant while the other two is Mommy D's. They're looking good right now as well as they're growing steadily. And with rain right now, they are for sure feeling fantastic with it. Haha

Now, the next plants is called "Paragis" or Indian Goosegrass or Wiregrass according to google. This one is like a wild plants that can just sprout anywhere. Mana learned about the medicinal benefits of Paragis and how good it is for the body. She can't grow them in our yard before because if her pets but now, luckily, there's a few more of them in her garden. I am not sure if this can really treat something, but it isa plant, a harmless one, so I think, boiling and drinking it is not bad. I do drink it too if Mama boiled some. I hope though that they will grow more in the yard.

By the way, this afternoon, Mama decided to harvest the bitter gourd. Look at that, we're so happy with this harvest. Mama decided to harvest it because you know, she doesn't want to pick it when it's already ripen. And actually, she already throw one of it because it become rotten. And she doesn't want it to happen with the rest of the bitter gourd.

She'll be making Ginisang Ampalaya tomorrow using that newly harvested bitter gourd. A new batch of eggs just arrive in the store near our house and there's a crack eggs again, they are much cheaper than the normal egg. This crack eggs cost 4 pesos each only. The normal price would beb 8, imagine the amount we saved. They are new and because they just arrive, Mama was able to get a good eggs with just little cracks on them, so safuuu, not contaminated or something. So we don't have to think about our viand tomorrow, because already have this. Now all I have to think now is what to pair with it, fried fish? Or dried? Hmmm, let see, we'll know tomorrow.

It's again a happy harvest (⁠ ⁠/⁠^⁠ω⁠^⁠)⁠/⁠♪⁠♪
