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!

Rockets

Sowed some rockets a few days back! Cute little things appearing today!

Air Layered Big Green Lime

Potted my other 2 air layered big green lime - these are for giveaways so I put them in poly bags!

Potted Sunflower

The first to bloom and the tiniest so far! Tall & lanky!

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

Pink Cloeme

Going to bloom tomorrow I hope!

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!

Stem Cut Kau Kee

They are growing some leaves!

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! :-)

Potted Small Lime

All those flowers dropped off!! ;-(

Moringa

Branching out!

Grapevine

They are always getting this rust!!! Argh... So disheartened! Feel like chopping it off!

Pink Cloeme

First blooms coming soon!

Starfruit

I have 2 of this size growing and another 2 half the size! Just waiting for it to ripen!

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????

Lemon Basils

Growing nicely when they are not attacked by aphids!

Pint Sized Periwinkle

Always amazed by pint sized periwinkle!

Potted Cherry Tomato Plant @ Home Balcony

Galore! So pretty! Those little red little cherry tomatoes!

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!

Beetroot

Bought this pack of seeds from Giant a few months ago. Sowed them today! Prayed for the best!

RM2 Planter Box!

What a steal!! Got this planter box for RM2 @ Eco RM2 Shop in Pontian!

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!

Pink Cloeme

This is the fastest growing lot of pink cloeme that I have! Hope they show their first blooms soon!

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!

Chye Sim Seed Pod

Finally 1 appear!
Beautiful blooms of chye sim!

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!

Bayam

They have grown much over just a week!

Balsam Flower

I recently read online that the balsam flowers are edible! Gotta try one day! It will definitely beautiful a salad bowl!

Sunflower Bud

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! :-)

Xia Gu Cao

Finally to the ground! What a relief! LOL

Cherry Tomato

This cherry tomato that my helper grew at the home balcony is as tall as me!!

Discarded Potted Small Lime

The discarded potted small lime that I trimmed just a few days ago is already showing signs of flowering!
