Going Green and Leafy in Valenzuela: a visit to a vegetable patch

Because of Little One Valenzuela's recent interest on all things green and leafy, One Valenzuela decided to have a visit with her to Camus Garden. Here, they sell several varieties of ornamental plants. At the farther portion of that land are plots of vegetables!

At the other side of the wall is Malinta Elementary School

Rows of veggies excite us both 

Here, she was able to see, touch, and harvest some veggies. They have pechay, Chinese kangkong, and mustard/mustasa. Take note that the only stuff that Little One Valenzuela has ever planted are mongo seeds. Thus, this visit is an eye opener.

After the visit to the veggie plots, One Valenzuela stir fried the Chinese kangkong. And yes, Little One Valenzuela ate it with gusto (knowing that she does not eat greens). 

Crisp Chinese kangkong

Chinese kangkong stir fry over hot rice: heavenly!

Harvested some pechay from the plots
where we got some weeds too.
We used the pechay for nilaga and tinola.

We bought a lot of veggies. Although the caretaker just asks for Php20.00, we gave her Php50.00. She told us that they also sell bunches of their produce at Malinta Market.

Camus Garden can easily be seen since it is along McArthur Hiway. It is near Bayantel. On the other side of the road is a Mercury Drugstore. Camus Garden is located in Barangay Malinta. 

One Valenzuela is not quite sure if the vegetable plots are also taken cared of by Camus Garden--she will ask about it on a second visit.
