RE: In the garden: Lessons learnt, carrot juice and garden update

Well, it's a good to way to safe some money from time to time. And it's a good hobby too.

About the drink, ginger would add a layer of spice to the mix. Sounds interesting to try.

And, the animals are a problem in the tropic for such endeavors. My grandparents tried to grow chillies but birds didn't let them. However, there's a lot of banana trees in that house.

Yes try ginger - it adds a punch. Animals and pests makes gardening a challenge. For now it is fun for me on a scale that is manageable.

I wouldn't try it on a bigger scale. That's a full-time job right there. But having fresh things like tomatoes and herbs might be cool to step up my cooking game.

Lol indeed - I have not featured my herbs in this post but I have planted and propagated thyme and rosemary, basil, mint and other plants. which maybe I will write about one day.
It is handy to have these plants and use them fresh when you need to. You cooking game will definitely be up a notch.

Well, I envy that garden. More than anything because I can't have those things or iguanas will surely come down and eat them. Wretched things!

Oh no - sorry about that.

It's not your fault! Nature is weird like that. 😅
