Green Beans again!

I have started to spent more time in garden now! The feeling of looking at empty vegetable beds make me unhappy......hahahhaa......

Green Beans are among the vegetables that I started to grow again. I planted Pak choy but the snail ate all of them! The other day I collected about 20 snails and throw them away in anger!




The green beans are learning to climb trellis!

GBBD - NOVEMBER

 
I haven't post any for GBBD so long. It's not that I do not have flowers to show off but I was so busy with little baby.


I trim the hibiscus and they look so funny now......
Now the monsoon season have started. it rains everyday practically! sometimes morning and night! The plants do not really like the soggy soil.

 Wrightia has started flowering! This flowers are really strong against heavy rain!




Periwinkles can be found everywhere! But I'm left with only this colour. Previously I had the white version too! It's a mystery that some flowering plants have gone missing including my balsam! That show how much my garden was neglected for past 2 months.........sigh.....



 
Bunga talang is flowering profusely. The flowers can be used as colouring for Asian food and also to produce juice! Pretty flowers!



For more flowers blooming around the world , feel free to visit may dream flowers

Mullberry fruits!

 
The mulberry plants are producing many fruits now! It's not enough for preparing juice but enough for my son to have it! At the moment many flowering plants have take over mulberry plant area! Soon I need to transfer them!

little fingers ready to pluck the harvest!
 
I guess this is the only fruit tree that has minimum attack by pest. Once in the while bird share it with us! We don't mind since they are not greedy enough to finish it off! ;)

starfruit

 
Belimbing or star fruit tree was planted 2 years ago in my garden. I get the interest on this plant after looking at the big tree with so many fruits harvested at one of my blogger friend website (mypotted garden)

Previously the tree was sharing place with sugar cane. The growth was not so good. Due to space constrain I remove the sugar cane and planted at new area. Soon after I realize star fruit tree grow so healthily.
 

From middle of this year I saw many flowers on the tree. So far we have harvested few fruits. It has tart and sweet taste! some fruits was spoil due to pest. I'm not sure how to prevent this. Many worm or may be pest larva was inside.

Nevertheless the tree is growing well now!


The star fruit !!!!

It's been too long I never update my blog! The first reason was that I have delivered my baby boy back in August. It was un-expected emergency C-section delivery at 36 weeks. It's considered premature delivery.

Life was too busy caring for the little one and his brother. 2 months maternity leave was just not enough! My delivery story is in my another blog (Here)  but here I would like to talk about my garden. Practically the garden has been left out all together! All the vegetables which was planted was receiving water alone.
 
 

My petola or angle loofah was producing enough fruits for 2 months! That's my main harvest anyway. Luckily my mother was there to pluck the harvest and water the plant!




The pretty yellow flowers
