Grow your own pandan plant

Are you still buying pandan leaves from supermarket store like Jusco & Tesco?

No place to grow your own pandan plant at home?

You can start to grow your own pandan leaves now....with an old & cracked basin! Please don throw it away (Remember 3R???).

If you do not have basin, u may try to use bucket or even polystyrene. Or you may buy a new one, and try to make some holes in the bottom of it...

And now you are ready to go....Put some soil & plant your pandan plant. Oh ya, please remember to water it regularly. 

This is how the 60 cm of diameter basin look like. 
Please water regulary & do feed your pandan plant with fertilizer once in a while.
Now you have a plenty supply of pandan leaves from your garden! i myself can hardly see the present of basin in this picture :-)

Pretty easy right?

Harvest For June 2013

OMG! I had totally forgotten to write about the harvest for June, which was 3 months ago!
I had Taiwan goji leaves, Gynura bicolor leaves & ginger. Both Taiwan goji leaves & Gynura bicolor leaves are very easy to take care with. Just harvest them by cutting the leaves/stems, and they will grow back.
Okay, chilies again! haha. They are so so productive. Mulberries was doing well too.  

Here, i had kacang sepat, petola bantal and brinjals. i am so glad that my 5 months old brinjal plants never fail to bear me brinjals although the size of brinjals were small.

Pretty Flowers



I wish I owe these pretty plants. But they are not mine. I took these pictures from a roof garden in KL. 

I personally like the sweet pink red balsam so much! They really look like roses! But, there was no seed there for me to grab. No luck = (  
As for the multilayer white pea flower, there are mature seeds there hooray!  I am so excited as white color pea flower is quite rare currently. 
Have you all heard about Halia Siam? My mom actually has this ginger plant in her garden too and it really gives you gorgeous white color ginger flower. It is edible?

Good & Bad



Today, I have one good news & one bad news to share with you all....

The good news is....

My very first ulam raja starts to bloom dah.....

Here is the beautiful & sweet sweet pink flower of ulam raja from my garden.

The bad news is...


What??? Again???!!!! Oh no!  The plant BULLY comes back again! Today it attacks my cherry radish plant (i planted inside the gate). 

Again, it plucks off most of the leave & just leaves there. 

Almost bald
Poor Radish leaves
I suspect this damage was done by either rat, cat or squirrel. These creatures are every where at the backyard. I can see squirrels & cats running & chasing each others almost everyday. As for rats, i am not sure. They come out at night but i think i heard their running sound too..
