Indian Borage - Variegated

So much white! Cute

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!

Small Lime

The flower buds all dropped off la... :-( ... there goes my chilli paste!

Periwinkle

Mutated one ... flower so tiny...
And the normal sized one...

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!

Blue Pea Butterfly

Climbing up steadily
My neighbour's blue pea butterfly has already started to flower!

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..

Lettuce - Blooms

More Odd Shaped Cucumbers

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....

Kang Kong

Harvested all my kang kong - 3rd & last harvest! Will regrow them as they are getting scrawny....

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

Chye Sim Seedlings

Finally transplanted! Very back breaking transferring them!

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!

Mushroom!

Look so cute! If only edible!

Sweet Potato Orange

Saw a sweet potato popping out the ground this morning! Couldn't resist - just had to dig it out!

Sweet Basil

Wondering why my sweet basil (this one sprouted on its own) is so crinkled up?? Hmm...

Potted Fig

Wow, another big surprise today!! Another of my potted fig (this one is not grown from seed but I bought the stem cut from GCC member) finally fruited!!! The one that I reported earlier but it aborted!! Woohoo! *super excited*

More Odd Shaped Cucumbers!

Long Bean Seedlings

Threw some seeds into this container and so many sprouted!! Now gotta look for place to put them!

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!

Blue Butterfly Pea

Starting to climb!

Chye Sim Seedlings

Many sprouted!

Brinjal Seedlings

I have 4 of them now! So difficult to sprout them! Glad that at least got 4!

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.

Accidental Lettuce

Another lettuce that grew on its own.... Re potted it into this so that it will grow much better.

White Bittergourd

Sowed some seeds last week and they are sprouting soon!

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!
