Bounty from the garden

Despite the series of hot days we had, we were still able to enjoy some tomatoes from my very own garden. It is not the size I was expecting though. The hot days affected the growth of my tomatoes and almost every plant in the garden. It is a bit unlucky this time that I grow them. Weather is not right for them. Even though, I watered them everyday but it didn't help much. Some of my tomato leaves burnt out, looking very sad, dying and some of the fruits became wrinkly and mouldy. I just threw the damage fruits away as they were not edible anymore. Maybe next time, I will have a good produce and will be able to preserve some for our future use. I hope.
Other than tomatoes, the other plant that did well in the hot days is my hot chili. It has a lot of fruit of which most of it are ready for picking now . I have to give them away as soon as possible for I cannot use all of them. My Thailander friend loves hot chilies in foods and I am sure she is gonna be happy if I will give her some.

Naku buti ka pa may mapipitas kung sakaling kailangan mo. At least di ka na tatakbo sa grocery. Ako gusto ko magkaron ng garden para sa herbs and spices gaya ng oregano, rosemary, basil, peppermint etc.
