UBE

Philippines
March 25, 2020 7:16am CST
I was surprised to know that there is something buried in our backyard. Aside from other trees and plants I found beneath after roughly digging through. There are medium sized Ube or Water Yams. I am amazed what else our backyard can produce. Perhaps, there are lots of resources God has given us, we just have to cultivate our land. I am thankful and will start to plant other crops this week. In this time staying for how many days at home, what are the things you were surprised to discover in your place?

That is a nice UBE you have in your backyard. Perhaps you replant some of it so it will produce more of that.

Yup, my father replanted it this time 3 years ago as well as other trees and crops here in our small backyard.

I have seen and heard so many people talking about starting gardens in their backyard. It is such a great idea for all of us to learn to grow food from the land.

Yes, I started planting again but my parents started planting in our backyard for years. It's fulfilling to see what you planted grow and bear fruits.
