Neem Tree

I have planted Neem tree outside my garden 5 years ago! I'm not sure on why it never grow well. As far as I know they are very easy to grow and drought tolerant! But here, i pour water, do weeding and put fertilizer....however the outcome is the same......

Finally I give up on the tree. I get another little plant. currently it's growing in the pot. I will transfer them once it's big enough!

Neem is well known for it's medical benefits! It's called medical plant in India!

These three flowers are really flowering stunningly in my garden. The gerbera, rose and Adenium!

I never seen my Gerbera blooming so much flowers at one go! There are 5 yellow flower stalks in one pot! That's really a big surprize gift for me!

The rose and Adenium are neighbours. They sit in the pot next to each others! They have bloom in same timing and in same colour!

"Petola segi" learning to climb

Petola Segi or angle luffa is new vegetables in my garden. The last I planted them was back in 2013.

They have just learn to climb the trellis.

Last weekend I have clean up the indian broad beans patch and they have ample of space to climb.

This luffa has a sweet taste! The meat is soft and white in colour. We can cook soup or saute with garlic and onion. They are really tasty!

lemon

The lemon tree is really producing a lot of fruits! I just love this plant!

At this hot spell season, lemon juice is really a welcome!

They are loaded with Vitamin C and do reduce cholesterol too. I really need this juice!

lady's finger

I love to eat lady's finger. They have very nice taste. I always saute them with garlic and ginger. It's awesome vegetable.

I have few of the plant in the garden. It's not enough to produce a stir fry but sufficient for fish curry!
