Fresh weekend - Rainy doha

Its been a great weekend after a long time. What I mean is a cool weather , no cooking , and u know what's next , yeah it gardening time.

Woke up at 630 am fed little h and wanted to sleep, when dh said lets eat out , don't need to cook this afternoon ,relax. Wohoo , my sleep went off woke up fresh LOL brushed fast and went to my comfort place , my backyard where my plants are.. ok so I decide to clean up the place . Picked all the dried plants , dead plants etc . Replaced pots with  soil etc took me a solid 2 hour . H woke up and I went back to ma routine .

As dh said we had a great lunch , came back for a quick dress change , and went for a movie .The rains had done the rest of the job. Cleant the plants from the dust and pest.

Next day my weekend starts with usual routine , and my BIL Gandhi  comes up with an idea of growing broccoli , lol American broccoli ..don't know what difference it makes ...

Was imagining Harirams broccoli so fresh , o yeah another great green thumb in OTG.

He was also teasing that we don't have to go for shopping vegges later since we are progressing in growing some vegges that we consume.hmm thou that's a long way through, but its good if we can self sustain. Just imagine picking up greens when you want , all fresh...

Ok so in the afternoon when I had a world war two, to put my little one to sleep and didn't succeed ..decided at-least we can sow some seeds. He'll enjoy some open air play time.

H was driving cars and me sowing brinjal, long-yard beans , winged beans , moringa , chilli, bitter gourd , and lastly Bil's wishlist of broccoli .. but an Indian one ...guess he doesn't know that the production rates of this vegge is around 32 % in India and just 3 % in America .. FYI _ And that's one of the vegges I haven't cooked so far ..need to search recipes now ..

Google guru said that broccoli is a good detoxifying vegge , a family of cabbage and it had a ton of Vitamin C and fiber , good for eyes , skin blah blah .. whatever the reason is, thou it also says that it needs a cool climate with rich soil etc , i had sown seeds and left it to the nature to take it up and the eating part left it to BIL and some pests when it grows ..

Drops of rain and we rushed in...hoping the rest will grow soon.
