Corn : Happy Valentine's Day

I have not grown corn successfully in the past. There were 10-12 seeds in the packet but only 3 germinated. Others never germinate or died half way. May be it's my fault.
These 3 sweet corns are the survivor in my garden. I don't put much hope in them but I do wish to pick some corns from them. I hope the monkeys don't steal too!


I wish all the blogger Happy Valentine's Day! What's your special plan for today?

Mint is growing very well in my garden at the moment. Being an invasive plant, it had cover most of my Chilli and Curry leaf patch.

Roselle fruit


single plant with few fruits!
My single Roselle has bear some fruits. I do not know when is the exact time to pluck it. I don't have many to make juice or jam so i plan to get the seeds for next planting section. Do i need to wait until the fruit dry off to take the seeds? Hmm.... Hope anyone out there can teach me more on Roselle planting and harvesting!

Lady's finger hunting....


I think the post title is a bit very exaggerating.....

2 of my lady's fingers have over matured. I shall keep it for my seeds collecting later on. I only manage to pick another 2 lady's fingers . My early morning harvest.....

Aphids is trying to make nest.... I won't let this happen again!

Totally opposite.....

I have 2 Anthurium plants in pots. The red and the white.

The red Anthurium looks so lush but the flower spathes size have reduce so much....



Oppsss......What happen to my white variety????? The flowers are in green colour and the leaves looks so unhealthy... I put the same fertilizer and locate them at the same place...... 


The leaves were previously eaten by hairy Caterpillars and it was strange for me as the leaves contain toxic oxalate crystal! Did the caterpillars left some virus or bacteria to the plant? haha....
