Life of Fatima

Two days ago I found out on Instagram that one of people I admire as a farmer @grow_it_green Ms. Aalia is doing a workshop in Bahrain! So I HAD to register! And omg was it fun! I really enjoyed every bit of it and I have learned so much! It was only a period of 3 hours but it was really educational. Most of the stuff were familiar to me because I have read about them before on the internet and in books. But to have someone with experience in the field explain these kind of things make it much easier and more enjoyable to understand. They gave away a sample of soil mix that actually had earthworms in! That is just so cool! I have always wished to get these amazing creatures in my little farm because I know how much of a difference they can make to the quality of the soil AND health of the plant. I am just really grateful for them to provide these earthworms to us. And of course the seeds are a giveaway as well 😍 But there was a small Q&A competition where I have won the h...

I love plants. Ever since I was a kid, I have always loved them. I couldn't step on grass thinking it was a living being and it would hurt if I'd step on it. I find it fun to gather different types of plants 😆I have more than 10 indoor plants and more than 50 outdoor. I wouldn't mind it if anyone would give me  a plant as a gift haha Maybe I will dedicate a post for my outdoor plants in the near future. I just need to wait for some seeds to grow and for me to clean up the place outside.  I grow my veggies out in the balcony in pots, and earlier in the evening my awesome husband had opened the metal fence between our apartment's balcony and my sister-in-law's. Now it's just one big balcony and I can use the extra space for my potatoes!

One of my everyday routines now is to check on my garden the minute I wake up 😂 I am always afraid that something had happened to them while I was asleep. Birds, wind, pests! They're the enemy! especially birds! 💢 Though they do not pick on my tomatoes (since they're big now) but pepper, cucumber, and even morning glory are bittern here and there. I gotta be more careful in the future since I still did not put out my net. This is my Carolina Reaper pepper 🌱 I am participating in a pepper competition in March with 5 of these. I don't really plan to win any category haha but I thinks it's fun and I could gain more experience with growing pepper. And of course..... the sky was amazing again today 💙 I just had to! I wish we could have clouds and blue skies everyday. So I'm planning to make a Pikachu cake soon (with Pokeballs on the side) but I don't really know if I'm really going to make it soon 😅 I got lots of thing on my list but I don...
