…the prices are high again

I’m not fond of okra but I still eat them. It’s one of the vegetables are readily available and as you said, it’s still cheap and readily available. Try the carrots, it’s a great snack.

Waaaah! I never liked eating okra! I hate it. There's something in its texture that I really dislike. Potatoes are my best bet. But malunggay is the best alternative for nutrition.

Backyard planting is always a good idea. In addition, at least you got free vegetables and you did grow the vegetables on your own. You don’t need to be reliant on the marketplace to get some of your food.

That's the main point of it. It is a good source of food and also a cost down measure at some point. Plus, it brings about a hobby or past time whenever people find doing nothing at the moment. And of course, there is always that love of nature that we have deep down.

I do the grocery and produce shopping for our hope and I do note the increase in prices. But what can we do? I just hope that with the increasing price tag comes the increasing salary. It would be better if some heads will be relieved to trying to fit and work the budget.

That's also what my mom says. I just can’t wait. I cannot imagine paying for a handful of carrots for twice (or more than) price. It is understandable for growers but I hope no more bad weather so that the prices will go down eventually.

Yes. I agree. I just hope that the prices would drop ion the near future. I might ask some friends in Baguio if the prices there are going to drop or maybe, I could just buy a small quantitiy to satisfy my cravings.

That makes it so frustrating. The prices are high and it will be a long time before it drops. At this moment, that isn’t gonna happen anytime soon. It’s good that you still have vegetables. Eating meat is good but it does become bothersome for a while.

I am planning find a new apartment where I can Garden ( I need a backyard) so I can have a moringa tree. so Ican have an endless supply of leafy green vegetables. I will also plant sunflowers so I can make more sunflower sprouts and have an unlimited supply of seeds. I hope this wont offend you, I will raise rabbits for meat, so I can have unlimited source of clean and organic meat as well.I dont trust the chicken in the market anymore. Rabbit dont have scandalous smell like chickens or pigs so Ican see them as a better meat source (low in fat and high in protein) Rabbit meat is actually legal in the Phillippines, and the government actually wanted to promote it because its healthier. I dont care if their cute, The rabbits I will raise for meat will have a better life than those abused chickens and pigs we eat.

At least, you are already practicing planting in your own backyard. Of course, we have to live by what we have. I hope your plants will be healthy and we can experience good weather for the plants to grow.

That is another important factor. If this continues, there is nothing left to save in many households.

It’s good that you still have your own share of vegetables. I agree that some of the produce already has a bad quality. I don’t want to blame vendors but I am not eating rotten vegetables and fruit. You’re lucky that your husband isn’t picky. Actually, I’m the picky eater in our family.
