More and a Little More

I've bought more seeds - sown today: cabbage, red flower french bean, Italian parsley, calendula, dahlia, sunflower, strawflower and some kailan to replace the seedlings that didn't survive heavy rain recently.

Two of the edamame plants have started to flower which I feel too quick as they are just about 20cm.

Chinese kale aka kailan.

Bokchoy.

Two of my snow pea seedlings were accidentally cut by the gardener. One doesn't look like it will survive.

Four Japanese sweet potato and 5 red okra seedlings.

So I saw rainlily is being sold at RM25 on FB and few weeks back I found them at the edge of the drain on the main street so I gathered them and planted them few days ago. Didn't expect them to bloom so quickly.


The previous tenant planted heliconia at the fence and they don't look good. They also started to grow outside the border. Look at this rogue one.

I also bought a pot of rose this morning when I went to purchased the reserved seeds.


The sole survivor of my first sunflower seedlings. Well, the rest didn't germinate. This is Autumn Beauty. 

Cempaka telur aka Magnolia Coco has grown more growth after we moved here.

Japanese rose, or actually accurately Mexican rose thriving at this sandy area despite being trampled by the dogs.

The jackfruit has fruited. Initial count is 20 fruits. This one has been dressed with a t-shirt to be protected from elements and pests.


The major pruning I did on mulberry bushes paid off. They are heavily fruiting now.

This poor fake dill went berserk after being pelted by heavy rain so I cut them off so they can grow again.

Challenge with the Size of a Mammoth

We have moved into the new house and it proved to be a pretty challenging house. Since it's an old house with so many trees, the house is full of ants. The size of the house is also something that I need to get used to it. We haven't finished unpacking as we have another 2 houses/condos to deal with due to last minute development. It's really been a crazy week. That said, let's focus on what's on this house.
This is how our porch looks like. Few portulaca plants and some palm-like plants. 

 We have fake dill and a huge Kauka Wilder which has rust right now. This house has plenty of birdnest ferns that some of them I mounted to their natural habitat - trees.

Coco posing at the driveway. Speaking of Coco, it has also been challenging as she became blind two weeks ago. She's struggling a little right now as she does not know this house. This picture is also deceiving - she sat down because she was scared to move around.

The movers broke the pot of my Kauka Wilder so I've grounded her. She's a little wilted but I think she will do fine.

How my condo plants currently are right now. Avocado Miki died and Magnolia Lily doesn't seem to be doing too good. The new green shoot died. the 2 plumerias in the picture came from the other apartment of ours. They should be doing well here. There's so much sun here, I've already got pretty tanned.

Rangoon creeper at our backyard. We have another one in frontyard. 

 We have 2 pots of this cute purple flowered-plant,

One of the ferns I mounted.

I should do a better job with this!

I found an oakleaf fern at my garbage bin so I tied it up on the mango tree.

I bought another Platycerium - Elephantosis (furthest left) and have it mounted on a Daiso chopping board.

The oakleaf ferns that I collected last week, finally mounted on Daiso chopping board.

Saw this oakleaf fern at one of my neighbour's when walking Odyssey earlier this evening. And to think it was a rare fern...?
