Mama's Fresh Harvest of Different Green Leaves from the Garden and My First Time Seeing a Mung Bean's Beautiful Flowers
I went downstairs to check on Mama, and I saw her getting so busy in her dirty kitchen. I was like, "You're already preparing for today's lunch dish while we're still not sure what to prepare today (╥﹏╥)." The perks of having her own garden—look what she got here (ﾉﾟ0ﾟ)ﾉ→
A freshly picked green leafy vegetables on different kind, she has sweet potato leaves, alugbati and squash flowers. That's some healthy greens.
She also have here a green papaya, freshly picked in the backyard. I asked Mama what she's planning to make and she said "Bulanglang." That's some soupy dish with mixed of veggies. Sad her squash not bearing any fruit yet, it would be perfect for this bulanglang sana.
And because i am already here, I also checked Mama's garden. And lookie, lookie, I found a newly sprouted Bitter Gourd in the garden and they are just a tiny young plants. The last time I shared this here, it's just all flowers and one bittergourd, but now there's more! Awesome! They grow really fast no? Soon Mama can finally harvest them, I will request a Ginisang Ampalaya if ever, with lots of eggs! The more the yummier! Ehe ＼(^o^)／
Here's Mama's squash and bittergourd on the lower ground. This two is really close to each other, i'm afraid that the squash may taste bitter too because they are really sprouted near each other. But i'm sure, it won't effect no? Or is there a chance? Haha
Ahhh, I am actually not the only one here, I'm with Sarah, look at her enjoying Mr. Sunshine. I tried calling her but her attention is so drawn to the fish in the small stream down there.
So I continue looking around and Mama's tomatoes are really noticeable now. This one grow taller now, taller than me. And it is starting to bloom as well, how long we have to wait for it to start bearing fruits? I'm excited. She has a lot of them right now scattered in different spot.
Here's another one, this is what i'm more excited, like, look how interesting it's flower is. It's Mung Bean flowers, I shared here before that they started sprouting near Atis tree. But this one, I think this was washed away here when it rains, it was near Mama's c.r and there's just one of this here. While the ones I shared before all died, for some reason. This one survive and look how pretty it's flower is. This is my first time seeing mung bean flowers, in fact this is my first time seeing a mung bean plants. This is really just cool!
I really love everything in Mama's garden. I'm looking forward for when they all started to bear fruits.
Anyhow, Mamabels already finish making lunch. And here's her delicious Bulanglang, pack with nutrients. Nom! Nom!

Wow! It is really different when you have a garden because you can harvest fresh vegetables from it.
So true lang, kaya masaya talaga may garden sa bahay eh no. Hehe
These are so leafy and green 🥰
And they are good in some soupy dish.
Wow beautiful garden.. it's nice that when cooking it's al fresh from the garden... Happy healthy eating.. nakakamiss ang pagkaing Pinoy,, bulanglang is one of my favorites Lalo na if may inihaw na isda
Yeah, that's just one of so many benefits of it. Yeah, Mama put tulingan on her bulanglang. Ehe
Hello 🤗 perfect so much talaga fresh na fresh pa Yung gulay mo and then no more hassle magpunta sa palangke Kasi andyan na sa bakuran hehehe
Haha, dibaaaa, may isda pa kasi sya from the other day, so she decided to make bulanglang
All the plants are growing very well, it is a wonderful and productive garden.
Yeah, i'm excited to see them turn into one big plangs with lots of veggies hehe
Enjoyed the visit! Your mom's garden has a variety of veggies, literally - ang halaman doon ay sari-sari, hehe (from Bahay Kubo song).
Indeed, when we have our own garden, ulam is not a problem. The same goes with me. When preparing meals, we always check the garden to see what we could have for a dish before resorting to going to the market to buy things we don't have. Gardening is very economical and rewarding.
And that Bulanglang! I heard that dish name many times but never tried it. I think it's one of the healthiest dishes with different kinds of vegetables in it. I'm curious how it is different from pakbet. haha
Thanks for the sneak peek. I'll come back for your next update. 💚
Haha, she wants to plants more actually. And she will do that if she said so. Hehe. I'm excited to share here her next plants.
Yep its one if the healthiest really, with veggies and how simple it was made, it's really super healthy. Remembering that now made me crave some for it. But I want it with squash this time.
Hehe! Just the convo makes you hungry lol Is this the dish with squash flower? If so, I love it! I have tried sauteeing and making squash flowers fritters before, super yummy and healthy. enjoy the garden and the food. See you around. 💜
I am always amaze by your thumbnail I'd like to know what app you used.Super cute the ampalaya.Our small garden is a great help specially if we will plant it with vegetables and fruits its such a great help for us.
Haha, I'm using canva, i'm using just the free templates and do mix and match ba. Having a garden is really awesome no 🕺✨
Wow,canva really helps a lot specially to the students.
Wow! The alugbati looks so fresh, I'd love to cook them. 😆 That is so nice! It must be relaxing to go around and check which one you can pick.
Really fresh, fresh from the garden ay, ehehe
Right! I love the experience of picking something from the garden and cook it.
Wow! Mama's garden is truly amazing. Fresh veggies straight from the backyard- what a blessing! Bulanglang sounds perfect with all those greens. I'm excited for the ampalaya harvest too, especially if its cooked with lots of egg- sarap talaga! And those mung bean flowers are pretty and unique, Thanks for sharing this lovely garden.
