Year: 2014

I’ve had this Jasminum sambac ‘Grand Duke of Tuscany’ since last year but somehow after a month of planting it, it didn’t grow really well. After repotting and pruning it, this year I noticed that the plant started to grow bigger. 2 weeks ago it started to bloom. The...

This year my hippeastrum has bloomed twice. When I first planted this, I thought it is a pink lily. Later I found out that it is not a lily but amaryllis. After researching more, I found out that what people thought as amaryllis is actually hippeastrum. The one that...

After a week or two of seeing the timun mini growing well, I decided to repot it into a bigger pot and put obelisk for it to climb. Amazing how the next day the tendrils grabbed the obelisk. As this is the first time I tried to plant cucumber,...

We went away for a wedding for a few days and this is what happened to the buah bendi..huhu! I guess by this stage it will be too woody for me to pick and cook it. I decided to keep it on the plant and let it grow mature...

Since I’ve never planted okra/bendi before, I was so fascinated when I saw the plant has flower coming out. A friend told me that after the flower wilts, the okra/lady fingers bud will start to form. But I was shocked to find the bud fell down on the floor...

Before I gave birth early this year, I bought more vegetable seeds from tanamsendiri.com. One of the vegetables I chose is timun mini (cucumber). There’s only 5 seeds in one pack so when I planted it a few days ago, I just put one seed in the soil. 2...

Check out my previous entry on this heirloom spineless mammoth okra/lady fingers. One of the plants died during my confinement period. One barely survives. Fortunately after several days of watering and tender care, it emerges back into a strong okra plant. Now I can see 3 buds of okra...

After a few failed attempt with chinese celery (daun sup), I bought seeds of Italian Parsley from Diana of kebunbahagiabersama.blogspot.com. I planted the seeds and waited for the Italian parsley (Petroselinum crispum neapolitanum) to grow. It certainly took a while because by the time I was in confinement, the...

I tried to plant cherry tomato from seeds with hope that one day I would be able to collect the tomato and eat them as salad. After 2 months of planting, out of 6 small plants which sprouted from the seeds, only 2 managed to grow big. And then...

This is like the third time I tried to sow okra/lady fingers seeds. The two times that I tried none ever grow. But this time somehow two healthy plants emerge from the soil..hehe! For this type of okra – Mammoth Spineless I bought the seeds from Diana of Kebun...
