to the orchard

  My family and i went to Uncle Lim's Organic farm today. It was really interesting i learned heaps about where the vege's we eat come from. The difference with organic farming is that for the crop to be successful there is a large responsibility to maintain a balanced ecosystem. What a great job and privilege i think to be able to to that :)

a really cute and healthy guinue pig! we'll he does eat organic food ;p

a beautiful hibiscus flower

A bee extracting honey from the flower, There are many different types of bees that are familiar with different flowers to extract their honey. They also help greatly with pollination and promote cross pollination :)

Freshly picked long beans and ladies finger! Uncle Lim told us when the parasites/aphids attack the crops, its good to let it be and let nature work. a lady bug came and examine the area and build a home, then other ladybugs came and they help eat the aphids that were destroying and feeding on the longbeans. And when the aphids are gone, so will they to another place where they can find food, where they are needed. How great is it to have natural helpers with keeping parasites away from your crops :)  

look at the puppy's chest, it has a mark of a star :) its natural of course.

Roses they smelt really really good. Like how those lotions have rose smell, now i know where they got it from, these kinda rose! they smell the best ! You know how roses have tornes and caterpillar have spikes? It really shows me of the wonder of God and how the made them that way, To keep the beautiful delicate pleasant scented rose away from things that may destroy it before it may reveal their beauty, So as the caterpillar :). His glory spilled onto earth in these small tiny beautiful things !

This flower attract a type of tiny black bee, That lay eggs in beetles that attacks fruits ( and when their eggs become lava, they eat the beetle). And so this flower is found close to fruit plants and protect them :)

I also learned that eating 1 neem leave a day is good for health ( cleanses ). More than that could be poisonous. They are real bitter !! And thats also why nothing really wants to eat them.

And there were so many mosquitoes there, Uncle Lim said they were good. Well the ones in the farm that is the ones in the city are dirty. He said first of all they keep you awake!;p. Mosquitoes actually improve your nerve system too. and they only sting people who are high in acidity. SO vegetarians won't be as stung as people who eat meat. Their thingy that gets into your bloodstream actually like neutralizes the bloodstream or something ( im not sure if i heard it right lol but yeah something like that)

It was a good day out in the open :) I really enjoy being in nature. He loves us so much and gave us so much beauty in our lives. He makes live interesting with everything He creates. He creates flowers so beautiful and pleasing to the eyes, bee's and butterflies that helps with pollination! And fluttering around brightening the place with their colour. Vegetable and fruits that come from the ground to fill our bellies. He truly loves us.

I learn alot about other ways of farming those which are not organic. And they are like totally poisonous, but they do yield heaps of production, but still they damage the ecosystem. Heap mainly by man made pesticides  and technology ( that are also harmful to human and the environment ). Instead of letting natural pesticides such as ladybugs and black bee's have their food while looking after the crops.

Ahh anyway time to go eat some organic guava :D

Matthew 6: 28-34

 ²⁸"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. ²⁹Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. ³⁰If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? ³¹So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' ³²For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. ³³But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ³⁴Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
