Watermelon
This sprouted on its own. Shall see how well it can grow! Of course, I hope to have at least 1 watermelon? Even a tiny one is good for me!
Thyme
Bought a packet of Thyme from the supermarket last week and decided to try and see if I can grow it! LOL

Well this plant is productive so far! Looking forward to finally getting a bunch of them!

Soy Bean
Trying to plant soy bean again! This time, direct sowing to soil instead of soaking... Soaking somehow rots the seed for me! I hope I have better luck with direct sowing!
Over Ripe Bittergourd
Didn't go to my garden yesterday and the bittergourd turned yellow! Still eat-able though! Scrambled with eggs for lunch today! :-)
Cherry Tomato
This cherry tomato plant is from a seed given by a friend! It yields much better than those seeds from store-bought-cherry-tomatoes!
Super Hazy Day!
Super hazy today! Guess over 200+ PSI! But I am still working in my garden!! The sacrifice I do for my plants! Haha...

Water Chestnut
At least 2 of the water chestnut plants are doing well under the stagnant water! Haha.... Pour in some citronella solution to prevent mozzie breeding!
Recycled Gardening Stuff
All these are recycled (including the stand, planks but excluding the soils!) .. either from bin centre or gifted from friend!
Chinese Parsley
They are indeed growing!
This one WAS growing well until 'something' ate the top part off! Argh... Birds? Snails? Hmmm.....
Sunflower
Bought a pack of sunflower seeds last week from up north. Sowed all of them and they sprouted! Woohoo... Looking forward to seeing "sunshine"!
Sweet Potato Leaves
They have adapted and growing well I think! The leaves look different from the ones that I currently grow!
Grapevine
The trellis of my grapevine came crashing down yesterday so decided to take the opportunity to do a hard prune of my grapevine.
And I discovered that the ends where I chopped off, both ends have been 'weeping' since yesterday! Poor vine! Hope it can survive my brutal chop!
I decided to do an experiment with the chopped off stem! See if it works!

Sweet Potato Leaves
Bought a pack of organic sweet potato leaves from JB last week. My helper wanted to plant the stalks! Okay, since I have a long planter box available! Shall see if I can harvest any sweet potatoes in 6 months using these boxes!
Mini Brinjal
These sprouted on its own too! I am chopping down my big one so keeping this in a pot so that it is more manageable. They are so susceptible to mealy bugs! Argh
Blue Butterfly Pea
They just grow and grow! I hardly fertilise this pot and they just continue to flourish on its own with constant watering... I wished my other plants are like this!
Passion Fruit Seedlings
Many sprouted on their own too.... Decided to grow a few of them as spares... All my passion fruit vines are currently under attack by scales! Every single one of them.. I am suspecting its chicken poo? Just a gut feel.... Haha...
Winged Bean
3 sprouted on its own on the ground.... decided to move them to the planter box as I am sure they will not do well in the same place!

Yam In A Pot
Trying to grow yam in a pot instead of in the ground.
This is a sizeable pot. Will need to top up the soil when the plant gets a little bigger.
Pumpkin?
Wondering what this is? It sprouted on its own.. Part of my kitchen garbage buried in the soil. See how huge the leaves are!
Cosmos Seedlings
Want to try growing them all together in a pot! I prefer my flowers to be short and stout instead of lanky and tall!
I need some flowers in the garden to help attract bees!
