My Backyard Garden

I wanted to show you my little backyard garden. I am so glad that this house has some space at the backyard for me to plant some herbs. Not like in PA that I have to plant everything in a flower pot of containers. The backyard is quite bit but I still need some time to get it organize. So for the time being I just plant some flowers and herbs at a corner. The next season I will get Carlos to boil some planter boxes so I can plant vegetables. Here are some pictures on the progress of my little garden.

The little garden looks pretty bare when I first stared.

I planted some herbs.

Cilantro

Rosemary

Mint

Parsley

Curry Plant - I have to plant this in a pot so I can bring it into the house during winter.

Some flowers to add colors to the little garden.

BBQ Weekend

My sisters will be flying home this weekend. How times fly when you are having fun. I am feeling a bit sad now as I am not sure when I will get to see them again. Maybe next year either I will go back to Malaysia or they will come to visit again. The weather was sunny and warm for the past two weeks and we had BBQ over the week end. We grilled ribs, chicken, hot dogs, satay and corn with a few side dishes to go with it. Here are some of the pictures we took to share with you.
