Pickings!
Picked 3 stalks of moringa to make omelette egg for lunch!
A blade of banana leaf to make Ang Ku Kueh!
And some stalks of pandan leaves to make pandan rose to put in my car as natural car freshener!
Variegated Indian Borage
Removed from the ground and grew them in pots instead! I need to free up some prime ground planting space! LOL

Chye Sim Seedlings
These seeds were from 2014! Still very viable!
Oh no! From the picture, I saw a cone snail inside this pot!!
Plantain
They are so SUPER GOOD to relief mosquito itch! One of my occupational hazard is mosquito bites! I get them everyday in the garden so this weed is super good to relief the itch!
Sage
Argh, my sage is dying on me! Even after I changed pot & soil. Aiyo... To save it, I cut 2 stalks and root again!

Fish Enzyme
My first lot of fish enzyme ready for use! They are thick but not much of smell! I am not sure if its because of this that my round brinjal seems to be doing quite well past few days!
Lemon Tree
My lemon tree grew new leaves after I planted it on the ground! Whew.. The new leaves sure look much healthier!
Basil Variety
Look what I found at NTUC Finest! Cinnamon & Oppa Basil? Wow never heard of them! Glad to find them... Haha... Rooting them in water first! I hope they survive!
Kang Kong
Growing tall again! Kang Kongs are very easy to grow but they attract pests like white flies and tiny worms easily so need to spray enzyme water on them almost daily for prevention.
Cucumber
My very first well pollinated cucumber in the making!! LOL... usually they are odd shaped! Good to see a well formed one!

Big Green Lime - Grafting
I cut off the grafted part of the lime branch. See the many roots that had developed over the 2 months!
Potted it, trimmed off some branches and leaves & praying for the best!
Sage - Black Dots
Black dots are appearing on the leaves of my sage plant! Not sure why so decided to dig up and change pot to see if it helps to get rid of them. There is nothing unusual in the soil when I dug up the pot.....
Roselle - Non Flowering Variety
Was just informed by my neighbour that this variety of roselle is non flowering!! Argh! This is planted for the leaves - it can be used for stir fry.

Papaya Seedlings
Potted 4 papaya seedlings for a friend into poly bags! So many sprouted on its own! I have not been v successful in growing papayas! It dawned on me that perhaps papayas prefer dry feet! I must have been giving them too much water so that's why they don't grow well!!!
Lettuce
Not sure what variety of letuce this is as it sprouted on its own so decided to plant them together with my rockets!
Mango - Flower Buds
Finally! The wait is over! Haha... Spotted 3 separate bunches of flower buds high up! It is way too high to take a close up view!
Flower
No ID for this plant - it looks like a mix between an orchid and a lily :-) I picked this plant in Johor months ago. Finally it flowered!

Non GMO Seeds!
Wow, first time I saw Non GMO Seeds in Malaysia! Bought them from Zenxin Organic Park @ Kluang. RM4 per pack!
Pink Cloeme
Went to Johor over CNY and visited Forest City. Flowers galore!! As usual, it is a field day for me to look at beautiful flowers and pick any seeds! Haha.... I saw this pink cloeme! Managed to pick some seeds to plant! Those that I have grown earlier on are purple ones so I am happy to find pink ones now! Hopefully they will all sprout!

Plenty of Rain!
Of late, it has been raining every other day! Surely it makes my gardening effort a little easier! I hope the rain will be in small little droplets like sprinklers from the jet! LOL
Lantern Berry
Gotta 'bottled' up my lantern berry as something is eating it! Urgh! Pests pests! They are everywhere!
Purple Bulbed Flower
I got some seeds of some purple bulbed flower last month from Cameron. Sowed them immediately upon return and it actually took about 1 month for it to start sprouting! Patience paid off! I almost wanted to give up and dig up the soil for other use!
No ID yet of this flower but it is a beautiful purple ball - something similar to the flowers of chives!
