Starting Seeds in my ‘Office’

Setting the Seedlings Out in the Sunshine

Those are Chicken Cages made from the Branches of Date Palms but I used them for decorative plant stands!

Everything’s popping up!

Hunting & Recycling Containers for Planters was Fun

I Found Rabbit Feed Dishes and Huge Clay Urns, Concrete Sections of Irrigation Pipe, Treasures!

Papaya Seedlings protected from the heat

Slender Papaya Seedlings Transplanted to the Land

My Papaya Babies Are Growing!

Sugarcane Growing up the Steps

I thought it was a swing, but it is a safety belt used by the man who climbs the date palm trees to prune them

Time to Sit Down and Relax!

Baby Pigeons that have all their feathers, but can not yet fly, are called “Squab” and are very delicious!

Drop them in boiling water to remove the feathers easily

Allow to cool a bit. so you wont get burned!

This is the fun part

Let’s Eat Squab Tonight! This is our pigeon barn

All the good stuff to keep

Every one is clean and ready to stuff

The one hand holds the pigeon and the other pshes the rice down the hole

This is how to close up the openings so the rice will stay inside

Ready and waiting for the lightly salted water to boil

Boil on low heat for about 30 minutes

Broil until golden and slightly crispy – so delicious!
