Our Little Garden

We have been adding more and more vegetables. Sometimes, it fails to grow.. like the chilly plant.. only "growing" ants.. and sometimes we have harvests.. like the pak choy which we harvested 3-4 times before removing the whole plant. We also did well with the ladies finger and finally we managed to grow the baby bitter gourd. Look at them:

On Friday (compared to Mei-mei's hand) 

Today.. again compared to Mei-mei's hand

And then there is our cherry tomato plant.. which after a year has given us a grand total of 3 tomatoes!

#2 on Friday.. a little orangey now..

#3 on Friday... a little mutated with a pointy bottom

#2 and 3 today.. looks like it's about time to harvest #2

We ran out of Pak Choy seed, so yesterday we planted (ahem.. threw into the pots) some Kailan seeds. I have been putting some organic fertilizers into the old soil: banana peel, baked eggshells and egg and coffee mixtures. Hopefully the soil is now rich in nutrients to grow our new seeds. 

Steamboat Dinner

The menu for tonight is steamboat. We tried to keep it simple so we also added some vegetables (pak choy) from our garden). It wasn't a lot, but it's something that we're proud of.. being able to eat what we grow.

While harvesting our veggies, I found a snail in our veggie patch. Aha! The culprit behind our holey veggies. And we decided to keep it (or else I was planning on squashing it!!) 

Here you are labelling the container where the snail is kept with leaves

Here is our veggies

Ta-da! Our dinner is served
