Honeydew

Gotta make my honeydew climb - somehow I think it helps to keep them off the pests! Even with the watermelon, I think it helps a lot when I make them climb....

Passion fruit

They are climbing! Many offshoots growing.. I hope not too long they will start to produce flowers and then fruit... Yummy! My neighbour's passion fruit taste really nice! I have 3 seedlings in pots at home - grown from seeds. 1 growing next to big sister in plot (which is stem cut from my neighbour's) so I have 5 passion fruit plants! They are fuss free and grows on their own... The other variety in my old plot, they are growing too... new shoots. I bought a pack of passion fruit from NTUC last week and it seems to be from this variety. I will grow some from the seeds of this variety too. Hopefully it will help to cross pollinate with my existing one - but of course, that will take at least 1.5 years!!! The following is the one from my old plot... the leaves are different...

Roselle

My roselle has grown a little bigger - the branches are falling to the side! Guess the seeds are getting heavy! Out of the 10 seeds that I sowed, 3 of them sprouted. And out of these 3, after I transplanted them beside mommy, only 1 survived!! LOL

French Beans - more babies!

Counted this morning and there are at least 20 baby french beans growing! Wow, enough to fill 1 packet from NTUC! Truly 'organic' in a way! Wonder how long it will take them to grow to a reasonable size. Sprayed some organic insecticide (in dilution) this morning as there are aphids again... And killed 2 worms! Yucks!

Mulberry Propagation

I stem cut and plant them into recycled bottles. They seem to grow VERY WELL in these recycled bottles. Basically I cut 500ml water bottle to about half and then invert the cap side upside down. This will help to drain off the water from the soil to the bottom. The bottom collects water but it doesn't attract mosquito as it is concealed! What a wonderful idea on recycling!! They grow better than if I were to grow them in a normal pot! So strange right!

Rosemary Propagation

Rosemary can be stem cut from the main stem! They seem quite easy to grow... I stem cut the other day and just stick it into a pot of soil. It seems to adapt quite quickly and growing new shoot...

Cucumber - Another female flower!

Another one spotted this morning. Sure hope this will bloom...
