Aj has make-up class today so she woke up early. Abby and Maggie were still sound asleep when I got up. I have been planning on putting wood varnish on our bahay-kubo to protect it from decay but the decaying plants cannot seem to wait. Anyway, this is the kubo now after several days of non-stop rain so it seriously needs some varnish. I painted a little bit in this side, the rest some other time.
This photo of the kubo was taken when it was fairly new so it's still shiny. The plants that i re-potted today are those below the orchids, i think they are of the bromeliad variety. They are the type of plants that accumulate water on their leaves and might probably be breeding ground for mosquitos, so i am watching those plants closely. Anyway, I wasn't the one who bought this the hubster did. Found out also, that these plants grow on coconut husks so i am now resorting to buying buko just to have planting materials. It's really a good thing, that a palengke is just nearby.
I noticed also some new growths on the bromeliad and thought that this might be the best time to re-pot and re-plant plants. So I did that the whole morning and it felt very satisfying. I will probably have to read up on gardening 101 and be familiar with some plants we have on our backyard. We have a couple of orchids and I want those to really multiply so I might read up about orchids also. But for now, I am glad I gave breathing space to some of the plants I don't know the name. I will post pictures so hope you will leave comments if you do know them.
