papaya fruiting!

 Finally after a long wait, Papaya plant have start fruiting. I might need to thank the monkeys! Once they pluck all the leaves and let the plant bald. Eventually the leaves grow back and the flowers bloom again! This time the flowers set fruits!

Male and female papaya tree side by side! The male tree is having thin stem. Most of the nutrition absorbed by the female tree I guess!

The male flowers!

The fruits from far! My smart phone photos are not so clear....

Cucumbers

The last harvest of cucumbers ! The plant is slowly drying off. I have great time harvesting this type of cucumbers. 

I found that cucumbers are short lived in my little garden. They grow rapidly, produce a lot of harvest and all of sudden they start to dry off or wilt.


Their prickly body is really a good weapon. I don't need to fight with anyone to harvest them. All are mine! hahaha....

Last of flowers. I doubt anymore fruits. The plant have wilt.

Eating home prepared cucumber with yogurt ( an Indian dish) is really rejuvenating in hot weather!

GBBD - MARCH 2016

The weather was so hot all this while. Slowly it's shifting towards wet season. Most of evening is raining here. I must be so thankful for this weather change!

I took these photos late evening. Therefore some of the photos look a bit dark. Most of the flowers have drop down or have spent the days.

Petola flowers are blooming brilliantly. The flowers only bloom in the evening. I hope night insect can help to pollinate them!

Hibiscus after evening shower!

self seeded Torenia in hibiscus cutting pot. They are welcomed!

Bougainvillea in ball shape! 

My favorite dessert rose!

Cape honeysuckle bounce back and blooming after heavy pruning!

Duranta have started flowering too after a hair cut. They are a bit invasive in my garden!

I have add Papaya flowers. They do look elegant!

 I'm adding this post to GBBD hosted by May dream flowers. To find what is blooming around the world, drop by at the blog!

Fruit harvest!

I manage to pluck some star fruits and jambu air last week. Jambu air went missing the moment I bring in the basket. I'm left with only 3 when these photos were taken. I just realise there is an orange in the basket. The Orange is of course from wet market ! haha...

The fruits are so juicy and refreshing to be eaten in this hot weather. Some of the fruits was attacked by fruit flies. The tree is so tall that i could not protect them. Anyway we still manage to taste some. The fruits was so sweet and free from pesticides!.

As the name imply, the fruits in star shape!

Kangkung

Kangkung or water spinach has make a come back to the garden. It has take over the tomato place.

The growth are so lush and definitely it was one of my last weekend vegetable dish. They taste good in stir fry with garlic! Much better when it's serve hot from stove!

Green beans

I realize I have been posting about fruits trees lately!

Today I'm off to vegetable patch. Not so many vegetables but the beans caught my eyes!

I planted four of them. All are at flowering stage.

Little green beans are dangling! I wish to have many of them soon!

The little purple flowers are so pretty!
