It's ALIVE!!



Remember the previous post about my dying chili plant? It seems that it was not quite ready to go yet.

Shortly before that post, I had actually just transferred it from a pot to the ground. After the move, things were still not looking up so I thought it was not working. But a few weeks later, lo and behold, the yellowish leaves have been replaced with fresh, healthy green leaves!


Before & After

It seems that a little care goes a long way after all :)

On another note, it seems that our yard has a penchant to grow things on it's own. For example, these lovely curry leaves inexplicably appeared in our yard a few months ago and have since grew to become a prominent resident. Needless to say, we are more than delighted with it.


Curry leaves. Named after the dish. Or vice versa.

Mint Condition

While I'm no expert in gardening, I do like to plant something now and then. The picture below are the mints I planted today. Not sure what type of mint, spearmint perhaps?


You're not suppose to take pictures with front on angles like this, so I am told. But anyway....


Another batch my sister planted some time ago.

On another note, the chilies that I am attempting to grow seems to be dying (again). If you have any tips as to how I can salvage them, please let me know!

Winter Melon

Let me share with you an exciting development happening in the yard. Take a look at the photos below:

A bud...

...that blossomed into a flower...

...marking the birth...

...of a green...

...big, round fruit..

...who became the first offspring in this family.

Yes, a winter melon...

We have never grew winter melon before, that's why it's so exhilarating to see this new addition in our yard. Can't wait to taste it.....
