Starfruits

Starfruits are flowering profusely. The flowers are everywhere. However I just see few fruits on the tree.

Those fruits have few more weeks to become edible. I waiting to pluck them

Jambu tree flowers

This is my jambu tree. 

The jambu tree flowers have been blooming brightly. It look so beautiful in white. They  dangle down like little lantern. I admit that i fail to admire their beauty in the past! 

 The flowers is full bloom.

Another Jackfruit

The second jackfruit is getting huge! I still can't figure out if it's ripe or not.

Anyone have idea?

 I hope I can bring it inside to eat once fully ripen. I need to search on the tips since no smell from the fruit.

GBBD January 2016 & Pongal Wishes

This is the first GBBD for year 2016. 

Here it's really very hot. I need to water the plants everyday. Young vegetable seedlings require watering twice. It's a big surprise since the east coast of Malaysia is having Monsoon with flood everywhere and we in Kuala Lumpur facing summer! Geographically we are small country.

Nevertheless plants do love the sun! The flowering plants are having a show. 

My camera dropped down and something is not right with it. The photos look blur.

Hibiscus are everywhere in full bloom! Their parade in yellow and red!

Marigold flowering profusely

self seeded Torenia have taken the pegaga pot

Starfruit flowers are in abundance. I don't see much fruits yet!

Today is Pongal or Harvesting festival for Indians. Happy Pongal to all Indians who are celebrating Pongal! 

Jambu tree

 My jambu tree has started to produce fruits. Last months there was 9 fruits but all taken by the monkeys.

This time i saw a lot of small flowers. If all become fruits, it's enough to share with everyone I guess.

 I can imagine the red , bell shape fruits now. They are so sweet and juicy. Packed with Vitamin C.

The fruits are seldom seen nowadays in neighbourhood. I remember my hometown neighbour's tree. Once it start fruiting, it will be abundance. So abundance that it dropped down all over the place.

Will my jambu tree produce that much? let's wait and see the race!  

Starfruits & New year wishes

Starfruit flowering again! I do not know if starfruit is seasonal or flowering plant throughout the year plant! 

Little fruit start hanging once again on the tree!

I choose to pluck and ripe them in the basket near kitchen. I will add sugar or salt to eat them!

It's final week before year end. To all blogger friends Happy New Year 2016! Hope all of us have wonderful year ahead!

My garden resolution for 2016:

1) to plant more vegetables for cooking
2) maximise the garden area for vegetable gardening
3) Create good resting area in garden surrounded by hibiscus
4) minimize usage of pesticides - this is something hard as the hot weather combined with high humidity create good environment for the pest!

You have any resolution for 2016?

GBBD - Dec 2015

December suppose to be rainy season in Malaysia. Usually it will be raining day and night. Very wet season. But this year rainy season seems to have shifted in front. It was so wet in October and November. Now I see sun most of the days! World is really facing drastic weather changes I guess!

Flowering plants do enjoy basking in sun! I can see Hibiscus everywhere. In full bloom!

Cape Honeysuckle flowers are so radiant under the hot sun!  Butterflies flying over this plant. The flowers must have sweet nectar! I love butterflies but dreaded the babies! The wriggly caterpillars can eat almost all the leaves in one day!

Zinnia a come back!

Flowers are everywhere to be seen!
