Daun Pandan getting stronger

Pandan have been around in my garden for about 4 months. Previously it was sharing the bed with Roselle. As the Roselle dry up, the whole bed is for Pandan. It look better now. More leaves have been added.

Pandan is used a lot in Asian cooking. I use them in cake, kuih ( asian dessert) and even while cooking rice. The Aroma is really refreshing.

Do you use Pandan in your cooking?

At the same time, some of you have asked for Roselle seeds. I just want to check if the seeds have reach you?! ;)

Tomato seedlings

It's been quiet some time since I grow tomatoes. It's really nice to see little tomatoes dangling around. Tomatoes from own garden taste so good! totally different from the one we buy in market! Don't you agree with me?

My new little tomato seedling have been transplanted to the ground. Hope they do well. 

Lady's finger

Lady's finger is a must in my garden. This time I manage to grow 8 of them. They grow very fast and fruit very soon too! And as nature process dry up quiet soon too. I have enough lady's finger for cooking. I'm really happy about it.

Yesterday I saute them with garlic, ginger and curry leaves. They taste heaven, fresh from the garden.

winged beans -ageing process

After 2 months of full beans production, winged beans now facing the ageing process. The leaves have turn yellow and some kind of infection on the leaves. The flowers have reduce so much and very few pods available. Soon the place will be cleared for new vegetables. I haven't decide what to be planted at that area but some vegetables for sure.

I read somewhere that the young leaves and the root is edible. Anyone have tasted them?

The beauty in Bitter gourd

I seldom have time to really sit and see my plants in detail. Most of them time that I have, is only time to water them or doing weeding.

When i think of beauty in plants, I always go for flowering plants but yesterday while looking out for caterpillar I realize that vegetables do have a beauty in them.

Look at the bitter gourd leaves, flower, tendril and fruits! Each have art in them! Don't you agree with me?
