My first attempt of growing broad beans (or anything for that matter) in something other than a no-dig bed. Not planted in the still-being-pig-tractored market garden, mind you.

What I did in class today. Haha!
There was one couple sitting in front of me. Sadly.. They’re both Muslims. My eyes were sO sore.. Watching them holding hands, lean their heads close together. As a Muslim, seeing other Muslims doing that relationship of so-called “romantically involved” are so annoying! Plus the girl had her hijab on, which is totally made obvious [...]

Bring on the no-dig gardens and the sheet mulching… Sheet mulching and no-dig gardens have a fair bit of cross-over, and it [...]

My favourite got molested. Aarghhh!!
It’s passed Eid celebration in my place but the month of Syawal is still on and people and relatives still visiting each other. And then last night, there were kids visiting our crib.
