Lantern Berry
Re potted my lantern berry to a much bigger container a few days ago. It almost died on me... losing most of its leaves and drooping.... Glad that it looked more alive this morning!
Discarded Pot & Chilli Plant
Picked up from the Bin Centre!
My estate gardener is quite nice to me! He will inform me whenever someone throws away edibles! Haha
The potted chilli plant is very unhealthy! Full of white flies and the leaves curled and turned black! Gave it a good trim and added some fertiliser. Once it is back on track, I will move it to the ground
Air Layered Fig
Potted my air layered fig today! Praying for some figs soon? LOL.. even though the mother plant has not given me a single one!
Look at the massive roots system!

2nd Potted Air Layered Big Green Lime
This is my 2nd pot of air layered big green lime! This time round, they take a much shorter time to grow new shoots! Now I have to think of ways to get them to flower, which is a super big challenge!!
Purple Green Bayam
Grown on the ground! My daily snails picking has helped them grow! Haha
It has been a long time since I grew vegetables on the ground! *an encouragement to try again* LOL
Rockets
Pulled out all my rockets cos they are not growing well!
I wish someone will write a Idiot 101 Guide to each type of vegetables - what can go wrong and what helps them grow! :-)

Mango Blooms!
Many many sprays of mango blooms this time round!! The last round of blooms, nothing came out of it! Hopefully this time, I get a few mangoes????

Pointed Edge Green Bayam
Picked a few of the pointed edge green bayam today.... They are not growing any bigger so might as well just harvest them!
Trying to collect some rounded edge green bayam from this flowering one!

Moses In The Cradle
Almost wanted to throw away this as the leaves of the main stem has all died and dried up! Then I saw side shoots coming up!
Japanese Rose - White
My neighbour chopped off a few locks of her Japanese Rose White and I salvaged them! So I have white, yellow/orange and fuschia red in this pot! Gotta add more fertiliser to it so that I can get more luscious blooms together! It will be a sight!
Guava
Picked this guava today! Hope it is going to taste sweet and without worms! Its size is quite big - as big as those in the market! Guess it is because it is the only one that is growing at the moment. All energies are channelled to growing it!
I have another one that just developed! Another 3 months wait!
Starfruit
They have been in this size for a few days now... Guess they will not grow any bigger for me :-( ... nevermind, as long as they ripen to sweetness, that's good enough for now! :-)
Kau Kee Plant
Bought some kau kee plant from the market and tasted it. Not too bad! So decided to plant them in my garden to add to my collection of edibles. Just grow them the same way as Mani Cai. So far so good, they are still alive!

Roselle Seedling
I have sowed at least 5 roselle seeds! This is a previous one! Hope it survives! Once this grows into an adult plant, I know it will be much easier to grow new ones via stem cut than to grow from seeds!! I missed my roselle jam!
Balsam Flower
I recently read online that the balsam flowers are edible! Gotta try one day! It will definitely beautiful a salad bowl!
Moringa
My current moringa plant has grown to over 2m tall so decided to chop off half to allow for branching. I plonked the top half to the soil and see if it will grow again. If it does, I will have endless supply of moringa!
Air Layering - Fig
Successfully air layered the fig plant as well! See the roots! Woohoo... Gotta find a home for it. This took more than 1 month. It is indeed an easy and lazy method to grow another fig! :-)
