Harvest Today!
My pathetic harvest on a rainy day!
The green passion fruit dropped off on its own! So sayang - decided to keep it to see if it turns red on its own.
Too Much Rain!!
Yup, just too much rain of late!! I don't even dare to grow vegetables.... The water droplets on the fake dill look so cute! Just had to post!

Roselle
I have not been successful in growing roselle for months! One grew big but did not produce any fruit and then suffered from sudden death. I hope this will fruit somehow... I miss my roselle jam!
Fish Head As Fertiliser
LOL... my helper buried a raw fish head into the pot with the bittergourd and it is growing SO well!

Mulberry Fruits
The birds are enjoying all the mulberry fruits way before I could!
So decided to wrap them up and it sure works!
Passion Fruit
I have a few plots of passion fruit. This one is against the wall and doesn't really get much direct sunlight. I suspect that's why it hardly flowers and fruit!
Whereas I have another plot that is nearer to the railing with full sun, it is fruiting like mad.
But at the same time, it is difficult to harvest them as they are across the railings! Argh..
Rocket Salad
Cleared up my rocket salad leaves too. I simply LOVE the smell of the rocket leaves.. so nutty! Haven't eaten raw as neighbour said it is SUPER bitter.. I have been stir frying it and it is delicious! Will re grow them again later on....

Lettuce Harvest
This is my 4th harvest! Indeed worthwhile to grow lettuce! Can pick and pick!
They still look good after my 4th pick! LOL
Cucumber
Ever since I mulched this Japanese Cucumber with the kitchen waste of the pandan leaves, I noticed that the leaves are greener and there are plenty of female flowers!!
So this morning, I put in more pandan leaves waste!! There are just too many female flowers la. I don't seem to have enough male ones to hand pollinate!
And I got a feeling this will be my first straight Japanese Cucumber! The shape as of now looks so good!
Try the pandan leaves mulch and see if it works for you too!

Recycling!
Bought 2 coconuts recently and my helper turned the husk into a planter container!! She said just put soil into the middle and can grow plants!
LOL .. okay, not a bad idea.. at least the husk doesn't go to waste!

Grapevine
My grapevine is growing so much more healthily after the big trim months ago! It is sprouting new shoots and the leaves are greener and larger.

Kitchen Scrap - Lettuce
They have grown many leaves but the leaves are tiny as compared to those that grew from seeds. Not sure if it's the soil. Nonetheless, still can pick some leaves to eat as salad. Hope they can flower too so that I can collect seeds!
