Hamjambo, Danny and Annie!
I'm with VSO in Kenya... I noticed you have a garden, I have one too! I take great pride in my small farm!
I want to travel to Uganda and Rwanda but I don't know the best way to get there... Maybe I'll stop by your little town some day. I just returned from America where I was evacuated in January. But now I'm back to finish my two year stint (about 1.5 years left).

Wasi wota, Alan. Glad Kenya is settling down now.
Danny is a great gardener and a great cook. Good combination! The veggies grow so quickly here.
The best mode of travel depends entirely on how much you can spend. If you are limited to a VSO allowance, then buses are the way to go. Or if you travel with friends you can split the fee and use a car.
Our town - Mbarara - is the second biggest in Uganda after the capitol. We are in the countryside though on a campus.
Uganda has many national parks which are fantastic! We intend to see them all before we leave. We also have 1.5 years left.

Your garden pics are a balm for my winter -weary eyes. Another 6-12" on tap fopr today....sigh!
Looks lovely and tastes justs as good no doubt....

PEA green with envy! Wow, you're going to eat like kings.
Although, we have our cheapo greenhouse out and have the peas and sweet peas that Aillidh started in nursery in growbags.
And tomatoes.
And the rosemary bush is flowering.
Andrew deadheaded the hydrangeas.
A rogue tabby cat came into the garden and had the NERVE to chase Pepsi! Oh, the cheek of him!
And she ran away like a wuss.
Wow--look at that garden! I grew my first garden last summer--of course, in Saskatchewan, it's pretty much a May-October thing. Loved it though! Wish I could come help Danny with that one.
Im very impressed Dad, been ages since you've grown anything edible. Glad my seeds worked!

love the veggie garden. I thought I was doing well with my new fruit trees & bushes and starting to plant my tomatoes and peppers but that just makes mine look ridiculous. When you guys come back you're going to miss all that fresh produce!!! Love the chameleon, you've got a new pet!
The garden looks even more lush now. It's amazing how fast it grows. We can go away for a weekend and it's completely different when we return.
The other volunteer on our campus has promised to look after it and to give away or eat anything which can't wait to be picked while we are away in America.
