Our version of bahay kubo

Loving our own little veggie patch. Little kiddo is excited whenever we harvest some vegetables to cook for dinner or lunch. Mostly dinners. 


He doesn't really eat vegetables. Engaging him in the whole vegetable garden tending has somehow helped us cultivate awareness of what he eats. When he was still in daycare, I was told that he loves to water the veggie garden. The kids would then help in harvesting the crops in season and they do some cooking using the vegetables.

Our garden

We started off in autumn planting broccoli, cauliflower, celery, bokchoy, and lettuce. Just to get a feel if we really can manage to grow and maintain a small patch of vegetables. Several weeks later, we've added spinach, leek, spring onion, parsley, and more lettuce but different variety.


I was so giddy when I saw how broccoli looks like as a plant.

The broccoli's head! Wow!

I think the experience has been very welcoming. It has positively affected us. We're now eating organic vegetables. Our budget has slightly improved since having some vegetables within our reach free of charge. And little kiddo is enjoying the whole experience.
