Cabbage - an update

Cabbages are beautiful leafy vegetables. They can serve as an ornamental plant too until the head is form.

Currently I have 3 cabbages in my vegetable bed. 2 are growing without any problem but one is showing indication like burn symptoms.....I do not know if I have throw some fertilizer towards the leaves or what but the whole green leaves shows burn sign....sigh......

avocado Update

avocado tree is growing up proportional to the days! Sounds like engineering term but that's the word I can find to describe this tree. It's slow growing but over the years you can see the growth!

Anyone out there has a Avocado tree? I read somewhere that it take 5-6 years for the tree to grow big and another few years until it can produce fruits! That's a long wait......

look at the lush and green leaves!

The beans

Green beans have produce few flowers and few beans too. Look at how cute the little beans are!

bitter gourd

These bitter gourd vines germinated from the seeds I throw in compost area. I transfer them to vegetable bed and gave some support. By luck they have grown nicely.

The bitter gourd have produce few fruits for now. I use to slice them thin and soak it in the mixture of salt, turmeric and chili powder. After half and hour I will fry them. They are very crispy and tasty even though the bitter taste is still available.

How you cook your bitter gourd?

Indian vegetable

Today I'm going to introduce famous Indian vegetable. It's called "Ponnakani Keerai" in tamil. I'm not sure the name of this plant in English or Bahasa Malaysia. It's used in Indian cooking and valued for the richness of vitamins!

This vegetables provide and maintain good vision and rich with iron as well as Vitamin C.

Indians use to blend it together with spinach to do vegetable curry or "keerai curry" in Tamil or you can saute like Pak choy.

Anyone know the name?

Green Beans

I always treat green bean with full care. Mainly because it's very sensitive plant for me. I use to sow many seeds with only few germinate. Some dies soon after I transplant to the vegetable bed. In the end I will have 2 -3 plants to produce me green beans.

It doesn't stop there, soon caterpillars will attack the plant from nowhere.....As a result I only plant them when I have time.

Currently I have 4 green beans climbing the trellis.

Mango tree

The Mango tree seems to grow well outside my house. It's more that my height now. It's fun to see how a seed germinate and grow to become a big tree!

Mango having roselle and lemongrass as friends. They don't seems to mind growing together! ;)
