Gulay - Vegetables

Filipinos are fond of vegetables especially Ilocanos. Who among my countrymen would not know the famous vegetable dish pinakbet. My mouth waters at the thought of inabraw and diningdeng of the North or the laswa of the South. And you can bet, if you see a house with plants like talong (eggplant), kamatis (tomato), okra (gumbo), sitaw (string beans) or ampalaya (bitter melon), it belongs to a Filipino.

We planted vegetables this summer, latter part of spring to be exact. Here are some photos of them.
