Herbs - Sage & Lemon Balm
Both still alive & kicking but they are both a little overwhelmed by the my lemon basil & roselle! Glad that they are surviving on their own.
Chilli Padi
My other variety of chilli padi (the slightly longer variety) is showing some signs of life again... *whew*
Bees!
When I first started this plot, I can hardly see a bee flying around... Now, with the blooms of the lemon basil, I see at least 6 of them buzzing around!
Long Beans Green
First time I ever have a long bean in triplets!! My last batch of red ones are in twins format... My neighbour's green ones in twins format too... This means I will have more green long beans harvest! Great! Hope they are super long too! LOL
Sweet Potato
Was told that I have planted my sweet potato the wrong way!!! The correct way is to lay the stem underneath the soil instead poking one side into the soil!! Darned..... no wonder my neighbour's harvest hasn't been so good!
Ladyfingers Green
So cute! Look like a human being on head stand! LOL... My new batch of ladyfingers seem like not very healthy as the fruits seem to suffer from abortion!
Passion Fruit - More Stem Cut
1 for giveaway and other 2 to preserve my existing plant! Looking forward to basketful load of passion fruits!

Pumpkin Seedlings
Sowed a bunch of pumpkin seedlings the other day in the plot of my Japanese cucumbers... A lot of them sprouted as of today... This is my 2nd time trying to grown pumpkin... The 1st try - they were infected with powdery mildew (very bad) that I had to pull them off! Hopefully this variety will be better??
Strong Winds!!
The strong winds yesterday brought down some of my plants!! Gotta stick bamboo pole all over to hold them in place!

Kang Kong
My 3rd batch of kang kong ready for harvest - gotta do it soon as the worms seem to be getting to them before I could.... Yucks!
Neighbour's Banana Trees
My neighbour planted quite a number of banana trees next to my plot - they have grown very big now and very soon, they will shade most of my garden space! Sigh.....
Sweet Basil
Sweet Basil doing well too... Waiting for it to bush out so that I can start to stem cut and harvest
Lemongrass
My lemongrass is doing well indeed! From 1 single stalk, it has branched out to a few now!

Cucumber
All my Japanese Cucumbers did not make it!!! I killed them all because they were infested with aphids... Sigh.... So now I am left with the local ones... The first of them extending its tendrils! Can't wait to see flowers...
Passion Plant
It is really a BIG BUSH now! Hopefully the trellis is able to support its weight! I have trimmed away some stalks with no flowers on them.....And, there are SO MANY flowers and hanging fruits now! Yipeeeeee
Winter Melon
Another failure I guess as the pod is turning yellow again!!
As again, with another failure on hand, I see hope in another! This time round, I will try hand pollination!
Longan
My little longan is still so tiny!! Even after about 10 months!! Oh dear, I wonder how long it will take to bear fruit!! LOL
Chilli Padi - Half Eaten
Every day, about 5-6 of them get eaten up!! And, it is always HALF EATEN!! What a waste!
Papaya
Another of my papaya plant flowered this morning... It looks like a female one... Hopefully!!
