Cucumbers

The last harvest of cucumbers ! The plant is slowly drying off. I have great time harvesting this type of cucumbers. 

I found that cucumbers are short lived in my little garden. They grow rapidly, produce a lot of harvest and all of sudden they start to dry off or wilt.


Their prickly body is really a good weapon. I don't need to fight with anyone to harvest them. All are mine! hahaha....

Last of flowers. I doubt anymore fruits. The plant have wilt.

Eating home prepared cucumber with yogurt ( an Indian dish) is really rejuvenating in hot weather!

GBBD - MARCH 2016

The weather was so hot all this while. Slowly it's shifting towards wet season. Most of evening is raining here. I must be so thankful for this weather change!

I took these photos late evening. Therefore some of the photos look a bit dark. Most of the flowers have drop down or have spent the days.

Petola flowers are blooming brilliantly. The flowers only bloom in the evening. I hope night insect can help to pollinate them!

Hibiscus after evening shower!

self seeded Torenia in hibiscus cutting pot. They are welcomed!

Bougainvillea in ball shape! 

My favorite dessert rose!

Cape honeysuckle bounce back and blooming after heavy pruning!

Duranta have started flowering too after a hair cut. They are a bit invasive in my garden!

I have add Papaya flowers. They do look elegant!

 I'm adding this post to GBBD hosted by May dream flowers. To find what is blooming around the world, drop by at the blog!

Fruit harvest!

I manage to pluck some star fruits and jambu air last week. Jambu air went missing the moment I bring in the basket. I'm left with only 3 when these photos were taken. I just realise there is an orange in the basket. The Orange is of course from wet market ! haha...

The fruits are so juicy and refreshing to be eaten in this hot weather. Some of the fruits was attacked by fruit flies. The tree is so tall that i could not protect them. Anyway we still manage to taste some. The fruits was so sweet and free from pesticides!.

As the name imply, the fruits in star shape!

Kangkung

Kangkung or water spinach has make a come back to the garden. It has take over the tomato place.

The growth are so lush and definitely it was one of my last weekend vegetable dish. They taste good in stir fry with garlic! Much better when it's serve hot from stove!

Green beans

I realize I have been posting about fruits trees lately!

Today I'm off to vegetable patch. Not so many vegetables but the beans caught my eyes!

I planted four of them. All are at flowering stage.

Little green beans are dangling! I wish to have many of them soon!

The little purple flowers are so pretty!

Papaya trees

Papaya plant is really survivor. Last month, monkeys have broken all the leaves of the plants. I'm not sure why. I thought these both trees will die but they survived!

 The plants have put up so much leaves. The female papaya have branched out too. Anyone know if i should let it be or cut the branch?

Does papaya tree need male plant flower to produce fruit? I do not know the variety as it was sowed from market bought fruit.

The male and female tree is growing at same place.. I never seen any fruits yet. However so many flowers have been blooming.

Nangka

I was wondering in the garden last weekend when something urge me to see the nangka fruit. I press the fruit and it was soft. I try to smell and it has divine smell! The nangka is ripe!  Thank you Joyce from little potted garden and Bangchik and kak dah for their useful tips to ensure the fruit ripeness! 

I cut the fruit and bring it the inside. I smear my hand with oil and cut open them immediately. The fruit was sweet. My first harvest without any damage!
