Lime

I have only 1 lime tree in the garden. It takes so long to grow to almost my height. Almost 3 years I guess...... It has been fighting the damage done by numerous caterpillars all the time.

I give up on caterpillar attack sometime ago and made agreement with them.....You can have the leaves and I will pluck the lime....sound strange but i have no choice.

I have try spraying pesticide in the past but they return after few weeks and since this year I'm trying to minimize pesticide in the garden.... I have to do some other arrangement....Sometimes I remove the fat caterpillars if they seems to appear in large quantity though......

GBBD - May 2013

It's been some time that I never join the GBBD. I decided to push myself for GBBD for May month! At least I early this time around! ;)

I only have few plants flowering now! I shall try to get back to gardening....I mean the proper gardening ratehr than just watering the plant soon! ;)

The Adenium has been flowering profusly now!

Chillies

Some vegetables really can strive well without care! Chillies are one of those!

The little seedling that I transferred few months back have been flowering and providing me enough chillies for cooking!

Some I pluck while it's still green and some I let it turn red. The red chillies are more spicy......I read this somewhere last time!

I could only find the rod from my old clothes rack to support the plant! As my morning sickness and evening sickness.....whatever they call it........resides I feel more energetic to do gardening! I hope I will start new planting soon!

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?
