I have finally secured myself a red magnolia. I hope to have a better luck this time. It did seem to have a good start as after I stripped all the leaves, the bud began leafing again after a day.
Honey Dijon is very quickly becoming my favourite rose. She also has a faint pleasing scent.
Ad for my platyceriums...
The maidenhair fern that I almost lost flourished again.
Cotton bud. How cute is that?! I have not repotted them so the cotton plants are very leggy but they are forming buds.
My sunflower patch that never materialise. Will be clearing the area soon.
The Kauka Wilder tree has been pretty happy I suppose as she is flowering massively.
The phantom bougainvillea near the veg patch finally bloomed. It's a pretty orange-hued one.
Now let's talk about the Plot to Happiness. I've totally neglected it as I was very occupied with my wedding preparation and then at the same time, there's a bun in the oven. I'm in my 15th week this week and finally started to feel like a human again. So I cleared the forsaken patch, and covered with the weed-blocker. I think I will take a break for now.
I harvested the white radish a couple of weeks ago but they are still in the fridge.
Yesterday I harvested the carrots. Many of fellow gardeners in my FB group were impressed by the size of them as it is known that carrots grown in (lowland) Malaysia are tiny and thin. I believed that they could have been bigger as I stopped caring for them since November.
They are our dinner tonight. Not only they smelled so good when I pulled them out, they tasted amazing raw.
As I was clearing the patch, I pulled out many tiny sweet potato tubers. What the heck, I really thought it was a failure as I pulled most of them out in December and all I got was 2 alright-sized tubers.
Quite motivated by how well my carrots did, I sowed some again in the same pots and moved them to the front instead. At the same time when I was rummaging through my seeds that I kept in the fridge. I felt a surge to plant things again but I do doubt that I won't have the time to care for it so maybe I will just use the planters I have to plant some greens.
Look at this cute pineapple!
Seedless guava sapling from my sister's boyfriend's family tree has grown a flower bud. Truth be told, I've been eating a lot of guava lately.
