My mother is obsessed with planting new trees. She’s created a little orchard at our frontyard but we never really nurtured it. I watched Ada picking some mulberries with her friends the other day, it was beautiful.

Bilgin and I thought she was a bit over doing it with the trees but we let her do her own thing while visiting us. I don’t think I’ve appreciated her gardening passion enough. This little wild passion fruit plant, she grew it from nothing. She saw its flower at a friend’s garden, picked a tiny branch  and managed to turn into a little tree at our backyard. I can’t help but crave for my mum every time I look at it…
