Getting an expert's help


My two lovely Cucumbers...great expectations! This picture was taken a week ago, so it's gotten much bigger since then. It's a 'dwarf' type, just like little Arishah. Lots of flowers!!! I can see one or two little cucumbers budding. There are three plants in a big pot, so I hope pollination is not a problem. I'm giving it a once a week NPK blue special fertiliser, which I found somewhere stashed at the back of the house. They say it's good for fruiting. Not sure if it's good for this plant though.
My cherry tomatoes are growing. Again, this picture is taken a week ago. It has grown taller. It's getting about 6 hours of direct sunlight, but then I want to put it at the side of the house so the rain won't hit as hard. Last time, the yellow flowers just fall off because of the heavy rain. But I can feel this time my tomato plant is 'stronger'. It's about 1 feet tall at the time of writing. I'm really putting high hopes on this one.

Well, that's about it. I'm waiting for my eggplant to be big enough to transplant, maybe wait for 3-4 sets of leaves. I'm still thinking of where to put a trellis so all my climbing plants can actually climb and get full sunlight, without distracting my mother's laundry

Think...think...


Been surfing youtube as well and watching lots of gooooood videos about growing vegetables. Most of them are from 4 season countries, watching so many varieties of tomatoes makes me go crazy! They are so pretty!

Now I'm waiting to transplant my eggplant. I'm waiting for my mum to buy me more polybags. I'm also waiting for my chilli plant to get bigger, chilli is a heavy use in this household. I'm making a mess of my mother-in-laws back yard. Well, can't really call it a yard actually, haha. Hmm...how I miss my old parents house with 1/2 acre of land...even though it's haunted...is it still haunted? Nevermind...no need to know or find out :p

Going to sleep now, with Arishah. She's a bit cold tonight, all bunched up like a cooked prawn...LOL
