Corn - another try....

This is my 4th time with corn. I don't knw if I have luck this time. Monkeys always get it first. Anyway to avoid it, I always pluck it young and cook as vegetable.


The seeds packet wrote that it's very sweet and juicy but I don't think I will have the chance...... Do I? Can I beg the monkeys to leave my garden alone......;(



The art in corn leaves...
 But Hope is part of life...... Let's see this time.....

Chillies Update


I have another productive plant after winged beans! A single chilli plant in my garden is producing a lot of chillies. I have too many until I do not know how to use it. I plan to blend them and use for 'sambal' cooking. I do not know if the taste is similar to blended dry chillies paste taste but I will try. At time we put some assumption in our work so I assume chillies are same whether dried or not....hahhaha....

cabbage - 2nd time

I never had luck with first havest of cabbage this time. Monkeys tasted them. I chop the left over head of cabbage. Currently there are 3 head forming. I believe it will be a small one but it's ok to have it than never.


As tomatoes, cabbage taste so good fresh from garden! 

Broccoli have added a lot of leaves. It's time to harvest them too since it will bolt soon due to hot weather here. The leaves taste good when saute with garlic and ginger!



grasshopper is tasting the leaves!

Green beans

After so long, finally I manage to harvest few green beans! I should say I'm satisfied with few beans as before this for about 8 months I never really have luck with green beans!

There are many flowers and little beans dangling around. I hope I can harvest enough this time from 3 plants!
