Papaya fruits agains

It's been quiet sometimes since the last harvest of papayas. The trees produce another batch of papayas and now they are a bit bigger.

Another tree with flowers!

This time I wrap all the big size fruits on the trees. This is in order to avoid any pest larvas. I'm not sure how but in the past I saw a lot of worms in the ripe fruits! I think I throw about 3 large size fruits!

Usually I pluck the unripe fruits when they show the first sign of ripening and ripen indoor. Nicely wrap in paper.  I wonder how the pest inject their larva into unripe hard fruits! So this time I'm taking extra precaution.

Betel leaves

Betel leaves are growing with minimum care in my little garden. The leaves are in heart shape. they are as big as my palm size.

No pest munch on them. I let them grow and flow everywhere. I forgot to snap the photo at the back side of the gate. They are overflowing!

On the inside of garden I did some trimming. Now they look more neat!

 I have wrote about the plant benefits long time ago. It's treated as herbs by Indian community!

GBBD - May 2017

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

It was raining everyday until last Friday. Suddenly everything change. I can't see a single drop of rain for past 4 days! It's very hot weather! I can't really predict the weather now. Watering need to be done everyday now.

Nevertheless the plants don't mind the weather. They keep producing beautiful flowers all day long!

Look at below self seeded Torenia. I remember planting the blue and pink colour Torenia back in 2014. After sometimes they were missing. How ignorance i must have been! Suddenly I saw them growing everywhere and there is maroon colour too! What a sweet surprise!

I give the hibiscus heavy hair cut! Now they have bounce back and produce so many beautiful orange and red flowers!

Cape honeysuckle is still recovering from the trimming section. They have produce some radient flowers too! 

I'm not very sure of this plant name. They produce beautiful yellow flowers! very invasive too! I can find them everywhere in the garden. But they are welcomed here!

My Adenium have started to produce continues flowers since last October! What a lovely plant!

My favorite from front garden patio! Full of Costus

 Not to forget the long lasting Mussaenda flowers! Their bloom can last up to 3 weeks!

 Little Duranta flowers look so obvious in between the green!

This is my post for GBBD May 2017. For more flowers blooming around the world, feel free to visit Maydreamflower at http://www.maydreamsgardens.com/

banana fruiting - another season

I'm getting very excited with banana tree! This plantain continue to produce little babies and they grow up to produce more bananas!

 This time around 2 trees have produced fruits! There is a gap of 3 weeks I think.... Therefore they won't ripe at the same time!

The banana flowers have been chopped and cooked. We need to chop the flowers so that the tree will concentrate the energy in producing plump fruits!

I hope they grow plump and sweet like the previous plant! Having banana tree at home is so useful!

Tomato plant again

These are 6 pots of Tomato plants. 2 more pots are other plants. I had numerous times of failure with tomatoes in the past. The plant do not grow well on the ground. The leaves get curled and the growth stagnant. I give up on them last year! 

Last month I decided to give a try again. This time I grow them in the pot. The plant is growing better and have produce few flowers! I keep my finger cross! Hope to harvest some tomatoes soon! 

I saw butterflies and bees near the flowers! Hope they did a good pollination work! ;)
