It is a day of gathering of private schools in Alaminos City and our little girl will be one of the representative of their school. They sang a song entitled "I Am But a Small Voice" while dancing at the same time. We are so proud to see our girl going up there and performing in front of other people.

I wish to see her perform more in the future.

At the end of the day, the former school of our little girl which was UMC Alaminos was the champion while her present school clinched the 3rd spot. Congratulations to Teacher Jen and the UMC kids. Costume pa lang, panalo na!

Watermelon (Pakwan) Farming Update - 1 Month and 2 Weeks Old

Hello! Here are some updates about our watermelon farming 1 month and 2 weeks after transplanting.


flowering stage already
 Several new stems grew after trimming the first stem and they started crawling already. From one of these stems will be chosen only 1 fruit to develop until harvesting. This is because 1 plant can not support more than one fruit until harvesting (as in the case of Kaneko and several varieties which bears big fruits). But in the case of Diana variety, there are those which will have 2 fruits that will be fully developed (although the weight of each fruit which might be around 1 kg to 2 kgs. only and will be less than if the plant will only have 1 developed fruit which might weigh 3 kgs. or more).

   As my 2 cute model(s) are showing in the pics, in just a matter of two weeks since I posted the latest pics of the watermelon the plant have shown big development already.













see the plants starting to cover the area
   Some are in flowering stage and the big space that were allocated for the crawling of the watermelons are starting to get covered now by the plants. One or two weeks more and the entire field will be covered with the green leaves and several fruits will start to come out under the shades of the leaves!

green fields!

water storage using tarpaulin
 Several tarpaulin was fixed also for storing water for watering the plants daily. 3 units of these were strategically placed around the farm in order for the people who will water the watermelon to have easy access when irrigating the crops. The water will be pumped from a well into these 3 water storage ocassionally.

On the 2nd month, I wish to share once more new developments in the farm! By that time, fruits might be seen everywhere and will give more excitement to my 2 cute models and my L who always give her time taking photos for my posts!
