Papaya Harvest

Harvest time is the best moment of gardening! It make us feel so proud of our effort! We feel our hard work paid off! That's beauty of gardening.  

Past 2 weeks I have been plucking papayas. 4 papayas are harvested last week and another 4 yesterday.

Unfortunately one tasted by the monkey! I was a bit late to pluck them. So the monkey had tasted first! It's ok....The papayas are in abundance so I don't mind a few bite from them on single fruit! That fruit will go to the dustbin. Another 3 shall be wrapped and ripen in the kitchen. In my garden, kitchen bench is the safest place to ripen fruits! hahahaha....

Few more left on the tree. I shall pluck once it shows the slightest sign of ripening!

The tree is getting very tall. Is this normal for a papaya plant?

Harvest of weekend!

I love weekend! I think every working people love weekend!

I love weekend for few reasons and one of it, is for harvesting time. Weekend is my only time I focus in the garden. I do weeding, tend the plant, even find all the pest and the damage done by them! I harvest most of my vegetables for cooking too!
My last angle loofah. The plant is almost dead. I just sow the new seeds yesterday!

The chillies. We call them 'cili padi' in Malay!

Bitter gourd. I harvested 6 of them altogether! The best harvest so far! 2 already fried on Sunday!

Harvest for the week!

I manage to harvest big bowl of roselle and 2 angle loofah. I have more roselle to be harvested. I might do the juices again  today. The juice I did on Monday has only half a bottle left! That's the demand for roselle in my house! ;)

I just realise that the beans are not in the photo. I have cooked them fresh! I add few lady's fingers in curry too. The balance is what i have taken picture.

Tomatoes this time were small but they taste yummy!

Some Harvest

Last weekend was really busy. I tend the garden. Did some weeding and cuttings. Many of my plants need hair cut so i spend a lot of time in the garden. Finally manage to complete my aim!

I did harvest some tomatoes, beans, chilies and radish! The radish was very small. They have big leaves but very small root! May be i over fertilize them. Anyway i kept the leaves too since it's edible. Overall weekend was very productive for me!

Tomatoes for me!

It's been long since i harvest tomatoes right from my garden ! Finally!

My garden is not so productive now. I have only few tomatoes, chilies and a bitter gourd to harvest. Oh yes, a little carrot too! I think i pull it out too fast. Anyway all of them are in the fridge waiting for me to cook!

Can you see the carrot? I think i pull it out early! Anybody know how to judge if carrot is ready to be pull out?

From garden to kitchen
