Birds

Birds are common visitors to my garden. They come early in the morning and leave by evening. Through out the day they find food in my garden. I think there must be a lot of food for them.

I use to see them by Hibiscus plant. May be they are enjoying the sweet nectar of Hibiscus flowers!

This type of birds are common to sighted.

Do you find birds in your garden? Could you identify them?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

Indian Broad beans update

My 2nd attempt with Indian broad beans. The 1st time was very good. I harvested handful of beans. May be too much I would say. I share it with my neighbours.

The plant have been climbing vigorously on the lemon tree. There are few beans pods to be seen too!

Cucumber harvest

The cucumber plants are towards the end of it's life. Yet it produce 2 big and 1 small cucumbers as a last harvest for us!

Eating cucumber while the sun is blazing is really awesome! It gives cooling effect to the body. Cucumbers are also used as eye packs. Just close your eyes and put 2 slices of cucumbers on your eyes! It rejuvenates the eyes!

I need to sow the seeds again.  

Adenium or dessert rose seeds

I have 2 pots of Adenium plant. One with pink flower and another with blood red flower. Both are equally beautiful when flowering time!

Last week I saw the pink version have developed seed pods. The pods are long and large. It's really amazing to see so large pods from little plants. Usually flowering plants have small pods.

I'm not so sure when this seeds will mature. I read somewhere that we need to let it mature on plant. Once matured, the pods will break open to disperse the seeds. We can collect and plant them. I hope I will be around to catch the seeds! It had produce many pods in past but I never collect any. Hopefully I'm lucky this time around!

If anyone have information on how to collect the seeds , sow and germinate them, please let me know. Lets share the information for other bloggers information too!

Ubi update

Cassava have been growing rapidly now. The plant is taller then me obviously!

I'm not sure when we can harvest the cassava. May be in another few months!

Pak Choy updates

After a long break, Pak choy taking place again in my vegetable patch. I give up planting them for about a year due to snail. Now I started again since the pest is hardly seen.

This green vegetables are adding more leaves now. Some tasted by the grasshopper. I still can take it.....

Need to do some weeding work.

Today is harvest festival for Indians.  பொங்கல் வாழ்த்துக்கள்    Happy pongal to all Indians who are celebrating this festival. This festival is celebrated grandly by the farmers. Anyway I'm also small time farmer in my little garden! ;)

Brinjal updates

Terung or brinjal have been producing good harvest. The fruits are purple in colour! Very attractive colour. I lost a few to the monkeys! They bite it, taste it then decided it's awful! They do not know how to cook you see. If not they should have harvest all for their cooking! Phew.....

From top view all the brinjals are hidden!
