Mum tends her garden every morning before the sun gets too high above her. Lovingly she potters through the basil, mints and the assortment of local herbs. While I was there on a short holiday, the chilli padi plant kept me busy. Picking as many chilli I can. The garden has gone from a fruit orchard to a vegetable plot. At one time we had as many as 15 variety of fruits. Jackfruit, custard apple, starfruit to water melon not to mention mango and chiku. Yes, not forgetting bananas too. Never got the durian tree to fruit though. At the moment, long beans, pumpkins and local leafy greens rules the garden. Keeping mum busy and her diet, healthy.

Wow! Lovely - the thought of a vegetable patch and an orchard. It must be a wonderful sight and a great feeling to be enjoying the fruits of one's own labour.
