Pruned some plants for propagating and now admiring this arrangement. It’s quite nice if I must say so myself 💚 (at Doha) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCixhv6AcVA/?igshid=4exgm8rheu3b

No cooking tonight. No more dinner parties... I miss our friends 😢 wherever you are in the world, stay safe! #quarantinemeals (at Doha) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-sMD-3gDoF/?igshid=1aa1x7xziup3m

Pasta with canned tuna and arugula (rocket) from the garden is really quick and easy. Kids approved! #Quarantinemeals (at Doha) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-hMZzWAxAZ/?igshid=2h9w21urpv8c

Ok, I don’t need to worry about running out of greens because the sweet potatoes I planted last summer grows like a weed! I had them all pulled out last fall to plant other veggies but they’ve come back and taken over again. If you want to grow low-maintenance veggies that will survive the summers in Doha, sweet potatoes is the way to go! P.S. I grow sweet potatoes just for the greens. Buy the smallest ones you can find at the grocery store, soak overnight, and bury in the soil. They even grow well in a pot. I sauté the greens with garlic and it tastes like spinach.

This is the kind of flower arrangements my husband buys me now... the edible kind 😘 (at Doha) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8yp5gwAUI4/?igshid=1in4n9xqz5ofl

I spent my weekend repotting plants. So proud of my babies, they are growing up so fast 😂 (at Doha) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8W34akAyYF/?igshid=wj611ay65dwj

I found some strange-looking bulbs in a pot of soil when I was repotting another plant (a variegated rubber tree) back in November. I covered the bulbs in a moist paper towel inside a ziplock bag and forgot about them. I noticed they started sprouting a couple of weeks ago but put off transplanting in soil. Well, they outgrew the ziplock bag so I had no choice but to repot them this morning. The mystery plants look like Alocasia! Woohoo! Who doesn’t love free plants?! 😁😍 (at Doha) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ObxltgrKS/?igshid=dq1ajyaesf90

Just got back from an amazing trip to Thailand. The highlight of this trip? Definitely these souvenirs I brought back!!! I managed to pack 19 plants in my carry-on luggage... No questions asked, no one even batted an eye. Does this qualify for crazy plant lady status??? 🤣 (at Doha) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6qb3QaAQ5T/?igshid=1dg5rpzsj1r0f

Oops! I just bought a banana tree... what should I do with it? Indoors or outdoor? 🤷‍♀️ (at Doha) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4HoRp2A4uJ/?igshid=1agsogn0xr3t7

I can’t stop staring at these gorgeous leaves! I’ve tried to photograph it many times since I got it home and repotted it but the lighting just isn’t isn’t right. Photos don’t do it justice. #Ifinallygotafiddleleaffig (at Doha) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2v4cdEAe5J/?igshid=ailtz9wzx4z

Hi! Meet Sandi (Sansevieria Trifasciata), the newest addition to my growing plant family. I bought a new pot a few days ago, so I just had to get a new plant to put in the new pot. And sometimes, it’s the other way around 🤷‍♀️😂 (at Doha) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2mpjlJAo8Y/?igshid=1kprclj5n78z

We saw soooo many spinner dolphins swim beside our boat! So blessed to share such an amazing experience with our kids. (at Maldives) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv4Z-ypgvcB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12qqnya3xxx8

We arrived after dark but we woke up to find this spectacular view. Maldives looks even better IRL! (at Maldives) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvyxVxiANuT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dbtq5qpf8ys1

It was a long and tiring journey. It took a plane, 6-hr wait at airport lounge, another plane, a brief bus ride, and speedboat to get here... But the sky and the ocean are breathtaking. It was worth it! (at Maldives) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvyv7sXAJ9Y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ykac518ep36p

A few days ago we left one sandpit... and arrived on another pile of sand 😂 Ready for spring break in paradise! 😎🌴🐠 (at Doha) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvyOyVagsF-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tp1ikaqy8za7
