Strawberries - half eaten...

and not by us! 
This tragedy happened yesterday.  We have waited so long for the first strawberry of the season, and came home just to find out someone else got the first dip!  Pretty sure it was a squirrel.  

New Vegetables In The Garden

We bought two types of tomatoes from Home Depot - Bush Early Girl Hybrid and Goliath Hybrid.  I hope they are delicious.

Transferred my yellow peppers to the planters this weekend.  I grew them from seeds and they were getting big!  I was a little worry since this past weekend was so windy and temp dropped like 20 degrees!

And finally, strawberries are coming along.  Still green, hope they turn red soon.  I heard home-grown strawberries are very sweet.  Can't wait to taste them.

Pub Dog

On Claire's birthday, we also eat out for dinner. We went to a place called Pub Dog. Just from the name, it is definitely clear that it is a pub. However, there is a section of the pub that dogs are welcome too. People can stay outside with the dogs and have fun. Dogs can get to know other dogs and play with them. It's a very nice place for people and dogs relaxing.

Honey Pig 꿀돼지 - Korean BBQ

Yesterday was my sister Claire's birthday. We went out and ate a birthday lunch instead of dinner since we thought it might be so crowd during dinner time. We went to a newly opened Korean BBQ on Route 40. It opens 24 hours. How great is that!!



I personally think that the Korean BBQ restaurant near our house has a better interior design, but the food here is a lot better than that one. Even my sister hates pork, she still think the BBQ pork tasted good. Also, we got more food with less money this time.



Furthermore, we don't have to do any cooking at all. The waiter/waitress would cook all the meat in front of you as being a good Korean BBQ restaurant. This is great.



Alright! It's time to eat. I was full after the meal. =]

Garden Update - Week 6

I couldn't believe I missed so many weekly updates!  OMG!  It's all b/c of the stupidity of my laptop.  So now, I'm blogging using Cameron's.  Since his doesn't read my camera's memory card, I'll have to upload the pics later on when I get a chance to borrow Karen's. 

Having your own garden is so great!  We have been eating from it for the past 2 weeks now.  It's really awesome to just walk out on the deck, pick your vegetables, and cook them within a few minutes.  We absolutely love the cabbage and lettuce family.  Our bak choy and lettuce keep multiplying!  It's insane how much greens we have in the small planters.  I guess we really should follow the instruction when it says, plant them x-inches apart.  (Yeah, we planted them way to close to each other.) 


You know how I was growing sweet yellow banana peppers from seeds?  They turned out so well, and I got so many seedlings to give away.  Today was the day!  I brought 10 containers to work, each containing two to three seedlings, to give to my co-workers.  It was an awesome experience.  I got to connect with my co-workers at a different level and talk to them about gardening.  I could seriously start a garden club at work. 

I hope everyone will get some peppers during the summer.  :)  Growing from seeds will definitely be on my list to do next year!
