Ngotem (gardening)
I've been really good these past few days. Well actually just yesterday cause I've actually been out working in the garden! Just like my arwah yayi who ngotemed a lot! That's very rare for me because I'm so lazy to go outside and I figure why bother cleaning up the outside of my house when I can hardly be bothered to clean up the inside. Well nevermind all that because I actually did it! And I have proof too!
Well first I took a 'before' picture of the tree, whose branches I was going to trim. Since we moved here we've hardly cut the branches of the tree so it looks really scraggly and unkempt. Ours is the only garden that looks like that by the way cause everyone else has picture perfect gardens. Oh well...
I went to work on the tree with a step ladder and a pair of shears. It was actually pretty easy except that I couldn't reach the top-most branches. I think I did a damn good job though except that I was embarrassed everytime a neighbour walked past!
Here's the after picture:
And here are all the branches I cut!
Besides the tree I've also planted some seeds! I don't know if it's too early or whatever but who cares. If they grow, they grow. If they don't I can plant some more. I've planted different kinds of herbs, tomatoes, chili, some kinda salad and cucumber I think cause Ma bought me the seeds when she was here. I'm thinking of getting some flowers too maybe.
Ohh Anna-Karin has gone home now. She went back on Sunday. When she was here I made some cream puffs.
And yesterday I made this chicken pot pie which was actually pretty good except that the crust was probably a bit too thick. But I didn't mind cause I love pie crust. I had some leftoever filling and a little bit of puff pastry so I made 2 mini ones today.
Well that's all from me for now. Write more later! Love you girls!!
