“I started planting because we were fond of vegetables,” Forcado said. “Plus, buying them was expensive.”Each member of the Forcado family has a role in caring for the garden. “I can grow a lot of vegetables during the winter, like lettuce, pechay, radish, onions, and garlic,” he said. As it was a foreign land, seeds of the vegetables we, Filipinos, know and love are not easily found. “There are no kangkong seeds or pechay seeds here, so these had to be taken from the Philippines,” Forcado explained. “Fortunately, there is also a group here in Qatar who share seeds, too.”
