Lemon and Lime progress

It's hard for me to define which one is lime and which is lemon!

I have 2 plants at the moment. The small variety use to flower every now and then and provide me some fruits! Caterpillars enjoy the leaves! I never seen any days past without any caterpillars. Anyway I have learn to live and compromise with the caterpillars that as far as it does not eat and spoilt the flowers they can stay there to trim the leaves!!

Another one.......I don't really know the variety since it keep growing big without any flowers or fruit! I believe it's the big variety but I not so sure since it grow in compose area before I shifted to vegetable patch. There are sharp torns which make me extra careful while trimming the plant!

 

What variety of lemon you have planted in your garden?

Daun kari update and It's festival season here!

My daun kari ( curry leaves) have grown so tall. The leaves are getting smaller and I think it's time to trim them down before they become leggy..... So yesterday I chop them down! I forgot to take the chopped plant photo!

So what you have chopped down so far beginning of this year?

Another topic now.... ;)

I can see red decoration everywhere now in Malaysia! Tangling "Tanglong" and red "angpow" packet on the lemon tree! It's Chinese New Year season again! I still remember getting "red angpow" packet from my neighbours long time ago! 

I don't have any red in my garden except the chillies! 

Anyway Happy Chinese New Year to All the Chinese Blogger around the world! And to the rest Happy Holiday! Drive safely to your hometown and have fun with the loved one!

The jungle of Puck manis!

At first I only had 2 "pucuk manis" plants. I propagate them from branches I bought at the wet market. Every time I harvest the cuttings, I re-plant them again. I was so greedy that I plant every branches. Nothing goes to the compose area and finally now I have a jungle of pucuk manis!

Pucuk manis is known as Sauropus androgynus. Also known as katuk, star gooseberry, or sweet leaf. In Chinese it is called mani cai,in Malay it is called cekur manis, sayur manis, or asin-asin. In Thai it is called pak waan; and in Vietnamese, it is called rau ngót. In Kerala -India it is called Malay Cheera.  And I call it Pucuk manis!

This vegetable is full of Vitamin K, C and protein!

In my garden, I can see them everywhere. They have grow tall and falling down due to heavy rain. I have influence my neighbour to plant them too. Finally I have a lot and with little people to share with!

kangkung and kangkung everywhere!

Kangkung is really going strong at the moment in my garden! Kangkung or water spinach is yummy vegetables and favorite of most Malaysians!

This plant is very invasive! 

Grasshoppers are fighting with me to taste the leaves! At the moment I let them taste since the damage is minimum

Pineapple

Pineapples are easily grown in Malaysia! They are just so sweet and juicy! It's pack full of nutrition too!

Last month I bought 2 small pineapples. They were so sweet that I decided to plant pineapple in my garden! I cut the crown and planted them in the pot. I think may be this pot is not enough for them in future but let me see what I shall do once they have grow larger....May be I will transplant to the ground later....

It take almost 1year plus for the plant to produce fruit. Is it true? It's such a long wait! ;)

Anyone out there have planted pineapple before? May be you can share the experience with me! We can share for everyone to know too! ;)

Is it pegaga?

Finally I manage to upload my photos again without any problem! Phew!!!! Thanks to "Mozilla Firefox" to solve my problem! ;)

I need garden blog friends to identify this plant for me. They grow in mass on my Garden floors! They are very invasive too!  I have google and found the nearest name ......that it's called pennywort but I'm not sure if I'm correct.

Are they same as pegaga? I think Malaysian blogger knows about pegaga very well! Are those edible?
