I came to visit and have a vacation as well in my aunt's house here in the province of Pangasinan. She has a garden in front of her house and at the backyard. The space was not that too big. But she has a lot of plant there and flowers. She has 2 pots of Aloe Vera, Sili or peppers, origano, a tall calamansi tree and other plants more. I loved her calamansi tree most. It has a lot of bunga. Nice to look at. lol! She said that she planted those plants so that whenever she needs anything she wouldn't bother to go to the market anymore. Yeah, it really helpful whenever she needed calamansi for her sinigang she can get anytime. I used it as well for home beauty regimen. I used calamansi to lessen the darkness of my knee and elbow. Used also for underarm. She uses it also when she has cold and cough.
You guys also have any plants in your backyard that really helps you a lot?

I only have a little space for plants, In my front yard I design it as minimalist the ground is being occupied by bermuda grass on the sides only fortune plant, monkeys tail and flaming sword, I hang the vanda orchids at our fence. having a nice landscaping would really add beauty to your house.
