….how does your garden grow?

We’ve been in the houses one year now and it’s amazing how quickly we’ve been able to have a ‘mature’ looking garden.  Fruit trees are starting to produce and we’re into our second season of the vegetable garden.  So nice to have all of this in our own yard.

Pasheni (Passion Fruit)

   

Papai (papaya)

Ndiza (banana)

Ua (flowers)

Mboga (Vegetables):

Nyanya (tomato)

Kitunguu (onions)

kabichi (cabbage)

pilipili hoho (peppers)…and my favorite Swahili word

saladi (lettuce)

kahawa (coffee)

       

And we can’t forget the kuku…we are now getting about 5-7 eggs a day which is more than enough to keep me in egg soufflé (now Mama Jackie makes it and we just keep it in the fridge, so I can just reheat a piece for breakfast)

All thanks to our gardener Samuel.
