A dragon fruit tree @ the backyard of my in-law’s house. Also known as Costa Rica Pitaya or H. polyrhizus. It is a red-skinned fruit with red flesh.

I’m back to gardening and this is my chili plant. I hope this chili plant will grow well and will not die off. I have tried to plant many chili plants but it just wouldn’t grow in my garden. Either the birds will eat the young plants or the snails or pesticide will attack them. Only this […]

This is my little tomato - about 2 weeks old. The fruit grew after the flower died off.

I can’t wait to see this tomato ripes. I have only ONE fruit growing despite having so many tomato plants.

About a year ago, I came across an old gardening magazine, which my brother in law bought. I started reading the mag and the mag had tips on how to plant edible food. Since then, hubby & I have been telling ourselves to utilize the empty land in the backyard to plant some veggies.

This is […]

Little Kylie is playing with the vegetables from our small backyard, about 40 square feet plot of land that hubby insist of keeping it for planting purposes.

We planted few types of vegetables. The one she is trying to wear on top of her ear is ”Daun Ubi Keledek” (Sweet Potato Leaf). It grows very fast and we have been eating this […]
