Wild Mini Size Bitter Gourds

My brother picked this little bitter gourd for me. He said this bitter gourd is growing wild just like that.  I am not sure it is called as peria katak or just wild bitter gourd maybe? 

Their size are so mini. The length of one bitter gourd is about the length of 2-3 pieces of bird eye chilies.  

I didn't get to taste them cook, but the raw one yes! It was bitter! You will like it, if you are the same with me prefer a 'more bitter' bitter gourd. 

 

Manage to collect some seeds, will try to grow them. Their seeds are whiter in color compare to normal type bitter gourd. Mr. Google said this bitter gourd is a exotic plant. 

Have you all seen or tasted this type of bitter gourd?

Adenium

Are you happy if your adenium plant can have different flowers blooming within one plant? 

The answer to have different type of flower blooming is 'grafting' . The Multilayer adenium flower is from the grafted part (the upper part), while the single layer adenium flower is from the original adenium plant (the lower part). Most of the people will not keep the branch that grow from the original adenium plant.

I grafted this adenium early of the year or last year. The multilayer adenium flower is called sweetheart. Both multilayer & normal type blooming are sweet to me

Multilayer Pink Balsam

It has been more than one month i didn't write.....Time pass so fast! I have been so so busy preparing something big & important...tired!

First time i am dealing with multilayer balsam. It is pink in color. It look like small roses to me. The dark pink & purple color one are coming soon too.I planted them beside the lab in the uni. A few peoples came to me asking whether is it a rose plant. Multilayer pink balsam are really pretty & so sweet.

The Abandoned Gold Beneath The Soil

Fresh from the garden, best tak? hehe

I grow a tumeric plant in a pot sharing with kesum plants. I wanted to use the tumeric leaves in my cooking but i tak sempat. And it suddenly dried up and turned into brown color @_@. 

I ignored this dried up tumeric plant for about a month. And yesterday i cleaned up the pot because i wanna grow ginger. Out of my expectation, there are tumeric roots grow beneath the soil! 

The plant look small for me but the roots do develop well. Good job! Frankly, i do nothing for this tumeric plant except watering. 

 

Tadaa...this is the yellow gold that i found beneath the soil

 

This the pot that i used to grow tumeric....Notice the dried tumeric leaves?

 

Tadaaa.....The cleaned nice color harvest

The problem is how should i use it in my cooking? i have never use it in my cooking. Beside masak lemak and fry fish, suggest me a recipe please?

Lazy Style Homemade@DIY Compost Bin

I am a lazy person, so definitely my homemade@DIY compost bin also follow my “lazy style”. Well, is better than nothing right? 

My compost bin was made from a normal black dustbin that we used to have in Malaysia.  

Firstly, you need to make a few holes around the bin. Please refer picture for clearer view. Then you need to make a bigger opening at the bottom bin there. The size of the opening must be bigger than your hand, as you need to collect the finished compost through this opening. Super easy right? Make sure this piece of opening is function like a door hinge.

Okay, to get started just put in a layer of soil…Then you can start to dump in all your plant based kitchen waste, your garden waste like dry leaves and weeds, newspaper, egg shell…any plant based waste that is degradable. 

You can feed the compost bin every day. Please do not underestimate the bin. You may need a few weeks to fill in the bin. The volume of the kitchen waste in the bin is being reduced into lower level very soon as the maggots etc…doing their work in the bin so quickly.  Then you can add in more waste day by day. 

Please ignore all those maggots in the bin. They are helping us. Just feed in your kitchen waste and close the bin and walk a way, ok ;-P . 

With the help from this compost bin, it really reduces my frequency to throw rubbish out from the house significantly. I usually separate the rubbish in wet & dry form. 

Alright, I DO NOT stir or turn over my compost. Just leave it for months and it will be done by its own. We are not in the hurry right? I do not mind to get my finished compost in a little longer time as I get an easier job (do not need to turn over). 

When the bottom layer compost is ready, you can collect them through the opening. Once you are done, close back the opening, push down the upper layer unfinished compost/waste to the bottom, and now you have space to fill in more kitchen waste.  

 

Oh ya, you do not need to worry about rat. The holes around the bin are too small for them. So it is quite safe. 

I didn’t expect to write so long regarding this bin. Anyway, have fun. 

With LOVE

Rest in Peace

Nona In The Pot

Okay. Is time to back to routine work @_@....Raya break passed so fast…So blue… I spent my whole Raya break in hometown. So wonderful =) More break please…

I found out that my mom planted 2 nona trees in a pot (not even a big pot) and one of the nona tree actually started to bloom! 

Oh, I do not know that nona tree can actually bear fruit even though it is planted in the pot. I am so excited!

I have a few nona trees with me now in a small size pot. Previously i am actually looking for a spot to plant it directly to the ground. 

Now I have changed my mind, I wanna plant them in a bigger pot instead. There is high possibility that I might move house next time.

 

 Right now both the seeds and the nona trees are still in stock. 

Wish to order? please do email me ya
