Tomato nightmare.....

It's been almost 1 month I never update the blog!

There is nothing much update on my garden as most of the plant are surviving on own. No new vegetables seeds sowed too.

I have very bad timing with tomatoes! The seeds were sown 2 months back. It look so good in small pot and I decided to transfer them to them ground early this month! Look at how it look like now....... ;(

I'm not sure what is the problem. Even though I seldom tend the plant nowadays , this small patch become my attention since I love tomato plants!

Is it the soil? almost 80% of the seedling dead and wilting! I'm so much shocked since they look so good in pot! One of the seedling has started to form flowers too!

Anyone know the reason? Previously this patch belongs to pak choy!

chillies - ready for transplanting....

I have sow big chilli seeds. Now they are congested inside a small pot and it's time for me to get my hand dirty and transplant them!

With my work and situation now......i just can't get anytime good time to transplant them to the ground! I hope they can adjust for another week! Poor chilli seedling!

Avarai - Similar to Peas

This is famous vegetables in Indian community. The look is similar to peas. The plant grows well in hot weather and they are very good in climbing!

Last weekend I saute them with garlic and ginger . AT the final stage of cooking I add egg to increase the flavour! ... and they are ready for eating!

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?

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!

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!
