Update on my garden (episode 2)

The mulberries are growing...

lots of them.

The spinach ( that grew by itself in my garden) and cabbage is a perfect match. At least the colour matches and it's such a nice feeling just looking at the 2 of them.

My radish icicle many many days ago...

My radish icicle after a few days

See how much it grows?

My japanese cucumber...

My japanese cucumber flowers. I really pray and hope that I will see baby cucumbers soon!

 

My lotus before and after. I missed the bloom cos I was away in Singapore for 3 days.

My tomato plant growing outside my raised bed is beginning to have tiny buds too. I wonder when I can have my first tomato *sigh*

My Hong Kong Sawi

My purple king climbing bean

My Beetroot

My okras which I transferred them further apart after this picture was taken...

and my tiny Red Scarlet Radish. My dad saw this pic and he said "I thought radish grow INSIDE the soil? why is yours standing outside the soil?" *lol*

and my corns.

I like being in my garden especially at night. Cos I stay in between 2 highways, I can always hear the car sound at night. And the garden is so serene and peaceful while i check my plants and dig my soil. And my 2 dogs will be around me.

My friend asked me.. so you're into gardening now eh? so aunty la....

hahah yeah aunty but at least i plant the radish, i get radish and not other things. You know what i mean?

Got tricked by Justin ;)

We bought A paint-it-yourself kit for my ex-neighbour and I told JT, not to tell what's inside. So we went to her house and sent went down to give her the pressie and he decided he wanna stay there for a few hours. After he came back home, I asked him :

Me: So did Aunty D asked you what's inside the pressie??
JT: yeah.
Me: what did you say? did you tell her?
JT: I said I don't know.
Me: then how?
JT: then she ask again. And then I said it's a table cloth.
ME: HAH??? SERIOUSLY????
JT: yeah. I told her its a table cloth.
Me: *lol* then what she say? did she open the present?
JT: after that she never say anything. She just put the present down.

Hahhaha must be so heart broken thinking that I got her a table cloth. So this morning I called her to verify what JT told me and she said "Ah your son is so cheeky! kept saying I don't know I don't know when I asked him. And then I tried to trick him by saying "is it a towel? Is it a table cloth? And he quickly said, yeah its a table cloth. It's a blue table cloth. So today I opened and I saw and thought AIYAH i got tricked by justin!"

hehehe!

Angry bird what????

Even hot wheels has a collection of angry bird cars and angry pigs. We found them at Tesco at RM7.50. Buy 2 free 1.

Surprisingly JD asked me to take his pic with the angry bird car. :) compared to few months ago, he always refuses to take pic. And now it's terbalik cos JT refuses to take pic now :(

is it Christmas yet?

We went out with my ex-neighbour and she gave us a pack of Snow Flakes Origami set and Xmas pressie for the kids. Justin, of course (being her fav) got the biggest pressie. Our journey from my old house to my new house is like 1 min. In that ONE minute...as soon as he received the pressie..

JT: Mami, is it Christmas yet?

Me: Nope. 25th December. Many more days.

JT: Okay............ Is it christmas now?

Me: Not yet. You just asked lah.

JT: okay........ when?

Me: 25th December my dear.

JT: Okay............ Now, is it christmas.

Me: Oh my god, Justin! Not yet.

JD: Haiyoh, 25th December lah! Not yet

JT: okay.......... How about now?

ME and JD: AIYOH!!!!

(reached home)

JT: okay, now is christmas right?

Me: *slap forehead* No!

JT: you bluff me. Just now i saw decoration in the class. Got christmas tree. Means its christmas already!

Now you know why he is so excited about the present? Chocolate and Car. Both his fav.

Update on my garden (Episode 1)

I'm hopeful just like this son by Alanis Morrisette.

I'm broke but I'm happy
I'm poor but I'm kind
I'm short but I'm healthy
yeah
I'm high but I'm grounded
I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost but I'm hopeful baby
What it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be fine fine fine
'cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving a high five

The rain came everyday and it drown most of my plants.
I was upset of course but then I thought "plants only mah. Not like its the end of the world and I still have seeds. Start all over again lah!" although many died, 2 managed to survive.

My loyal cabbage .

My Radish Icicle.

My cherry tomato plants which I think is stunted but then I just leave them there.

And these are tomatoes as well. But I have no idea how it went or grow from there. I thought the soil was infested with bug so I throw them far far away from my veg patch. And today I found out that they are tomatoes. Weird or not? The one I really looked after is not growing much. And the one exposed to rain and sun with no proper care is growing very well. *lol*

They say the rain will stop in Jan ( angin monsoon barat daya comes in sept-dec. Luckily I didn't give everything back to my form 3 geography teacher), so I'm starting to germinate seeds now.
Ah such a joy watching the seeds growing leaves and turning into seedlings.

These are the corn seeds I got from MARDI counter during the MAHA exhibition. That is 3 days after being germinated. So cool. It's way taller now.

And these are my new seedlings.

My mum laughed at me saying I wont be able to grow anything from my raised bed.

She said "DONT WASTE YOUR TIME!". 

:D we shall see eh?
