Mulberries hanging around!

Last month I trim down the mulberry plants! Here is the rewards of the trimming section. I can see many berries hanging around!

I shall prepare juice with the berries since they go rotten very fast once plucked from the bush! They are packed with high content of vitamin C!

Pineapple plant

I have 3 pineapple plants in my garden. One is planted under the sun.

The below 2 were growing for long time under the lemon & mango trees shade. I think about 4 - 5 years. No fruits. I know I have planted them in wrong position. The plant won't be able to produce fruits here. It won't grow to fullest too! I had a deep thinking yesterday. Finally I made a risk. I uprooted them and replanted them under the sun.

I'm not sure if it will survive. Have anyone uprooted pineapple plant before? Their roots are very shallow. So i just assumed that i never disturbed their main rooting system.

Hope these 2 plants survived my experiment! 

GBBD - January 2017

It's new Year GBBD! The first post of GBBD for 2017!

The flower of single Wrightia look so pure in white!

I got this flower seeds from a blogger friend "http://mypottedgarden.blogspot.my/"! When I sowed the seeds, nothing happened! So after sometimes I throw the whole pot with the soil at the sugarcane plant area. Surprisingly the little seeding emerge and grow to flower!

 My favorite spot of garden! The ever flowering Costus!

Mussaenda white flower! They have little orange star shape flower too! I never realise about it all this while! How ignorant am I!

Marigold flower in yellow! They do not have good smell. No wonder it's called "bunga tahi ayam" or "chicken poop" in Malay language! But they do have pretty flowers!

My bunga telang growing wild in the garden!

Cape honey suckle after light shower! They stand strong!

Adenium continuously flowering without fail!

It's raining now after long period of hot season! I'm happy to welcome the rain!

This is my late post for GBBD. For more flowers blooming around the world, visit maydreamsgardens

Banana - again!

This is second banana tree fruits. The first plant's banana was harvested. Enough to share with family and friends. The trunk was chopped and shared too! Such a useful plant!

Another view! I'm not sure but this type of banana tend to grow huge and tall! 

The banana flowers have be harvested last week. Cooked and eaten. I forgot to take the photo!

I have 3 tall banana trees and 2 plantlets.

Growing bananas are really good! All parts are useful and most of them can be eaten! The trunk, flowers and fruits are edible. The leaves are trademark of Indian food! We eat on banana leaves! It serve as a plate of special occasion especially!

Spinach

Snails are making a "come back" in my little garden!  I just sowed spinach seeds few weeks back and they are growing now. Does egg shell prevent them?

I hope snails don't find the way to this bed. My first successful attempt with red spinach!

The Coconut tree & Wishes!

This is my 1 yr old Coconut tree! Previously it was heavily infested by some kind of pest. It's outside the gate and little care was given. 2 months back I sprayed the whole tree. All the crawling pest came out of the tree. Now it's growing well!

Coconut tree is labelled as the most important plant by Indians! I think many Asian people have same opinion! In Malaysia it's called "pokok seribu guna" - The plant with 1000 usage!

The young coconut as well as the old coconut is expensive in Malaysia now! I wonder why the native fruits are getting expensive year by year! Apples are cheaper here compared to papaya , bananas and coconuts! But we don't have a single apple tree in Malaysia! Apples not meant to be planted in Malaysia!

Anyway, if all goes well I will have constant supply of coconuts in 2 years time! Lesson learnt! Don't take any plant for granted!

It's going to be long holiday here in Malaysia. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2017! Hope all of us have a prosperous year ahead and live a happy, healthy and wealthy life in 2017!
