My garden

I would like to share this long time ago but didn't mange to get the time and mood to do it. Finally, today I share these happy news with you.

First, my longan tree finally bear some fruit since last year. It's a long wait, finally it is here.


I planted 2 honeydew and unfortunately 1 didn't make it, and the other one has been tried to bear some fruit and finally it she make it. So far it is one of the most sensitive plant I ever planted. Hope the fruit can grow large enough.


One of my favorited vegetable. Quite easy to plant, easy to get fruit also. If you like it, just buy the seed from the store and plant in the pot, it will bear fruit very fast.


This is excited, my grape tree start to bear some fruit. According to the Internet, most of the time the flower can only have 30% chances of successfully pollinated. Hope to get some nice juicy grape from my garden soon.


My passion fruit start bearing fruit since few months ago. I'm don't know why the first batch is very small, luckily the second round is bigger and healthier.


And the new member to my garden. This photo is quite old, now the plant is much bigger. Anyway, anyone know what is this? Let you guy guess and I tell you the answer in future post.


If I pluck a fruit for you a day, you will just get a fruit; if I teach you how to plant, you will get a farm of fruit waiting for you to give to others. So, start learning to farm at your home.

Harversting time

If you follow my blog, then you sure remember I planted some pumpkin. So, finally it is harvesting time after around 4 months of growing.


Total 5 fruits from 2 pumpkin plants. I don't know why the shape of the pumpkin is different, very unpredictable for second generation plants. The biggest pumpkin has diameter of around 10" or 250mm. Didn't measure the weight but I believe something around 2kg or more.

I just chop the plants since the plants is wither away. Clean the area for the next planting season.

Guest what plants I'm going to plant.

Will show you the next project soon.

The pumpkin's story

Long long time ago (about 2 months back), I bought a pumpkin for my daughter to mix with her rice cereal. I saw some seeds and suddenly I got an idea to plant my own pumpkin. If you, the reader, think I want to save money to buy pumpkins, then you may try to do it also. I had planted few fruit trees and I believe the money I spend for the tree and the gardening accessories can let me buy tonne of fruit, so far the cheapest way still goes to the supermarket and get the fruit you want instead of trying all these hard works and time to wait for the fruit to grow.

Anyway, back to the story. The seeds sprout after two days and it grows with tremendous speed. If pumpkins can communicate each other, the earth will be conquered by them in no time. They are aggressive, their vines will attack any plants that stop their way, and they require a huge space to grow. So don't try this at home if your garden is not big enough.

After two months of growing, last week I started to spot few female flowers start growing near the vine. But, the problem is there is no male flower spotted :(

The female flower bloom yesterday morning and I couldn't find male flower near by.

This morning, the flower close her shop liao. Not sure she got pollinated or not.

At the same time, I spotted another female flower. I think it will bloom by tomorrow.

So, now I got another female flower is waiting for her prince to come. God, please give me a handsome flower by tomorrow to make my pretty flower pregnant, ahmen.
