<b>Heyo everyone!! This is just a quick entry on brinjal growing in my garden. Remember the brinjal plant that showed flower bud in the previous entry? Well, it had been one busy week for me and yes, I neglected my garden too!..Only counting on Mr Warhammer to water them once a day (which I suspected he missed on some of the days). When coming back from work one day, to my dismay, the bud looked dried up and showed no hope at all..huhhuhuhu..Anyway, life goes on as usual and just yesterday, I really browsed through my garden when I saw a glimpse of purplish, oblong thing tucked away neatly between the leaves. It was my very first brinjal! I read in Mr Iskandar's blog that it should be plucked when it is most shining, so I plucked the courage and pluck it today..Look at my purple bundle of joy..:)</b></div>

My twin sister kept begging me to update this blog.so sis, here it is!Anyway, over the weekend I went for a walk in my garden, did some weeding and putting the chicken fertilizers on the plants..A few weeks earlier, I have sowed some brinjals (Bride type), mini cucumber, more okras and roselle seeds. This time I experimented with the roselle seeds collected from my very own garden. I did not have much hope on the mini cucumber. Just take a look at her plight:<br />

Next to the mini cucumber is my aster flower pot and galangal pot. I was weeding my galangal pot when I noticed an egg-shaped figure peeping straight at me. At first I thought, a bird is laying an egg in the galangal pot as it got very bushy (and maybe it looks like a nest to the bird) but to my amazement, look at what I found!<br />

To tell you the truth, I almost giving up all hopes to grow tomatoes. The previous seed sowed were purchased from TESCO. But this time around I purchased from Mr. Iskandar from tanamsendiri.com. Then, when they started flowering, I pinched the upper part (the shoots) of the plant so that the nutrients were directed to the fruits and not at growing new leaves, etc. Before this, all my tomato plants either died from some kind of disease or the flowers did not turn into fruits. I was so ecstatic to see the fruits and hoped that they will turn to nice, fat, juicy tomatoes!<br />

Brinjals did not like to grow in my garden..Out of the 20 seeds sowed..only 1 become a true survivor in the garden. I am crazy about brinjals. One of my favorite dishes is brinjals cooked with spicy gravy (terung masak sambal). Hope this one feels welcomed in my humble garden.Please enjoy your stay here ya!<br />

To tell you the truth I have quite an experience with daikon just a few weeks before..I bought a white daikon from the local supermarket which is quite huge..I made it into soup accompanied with my faithful spinach..n it tasted yucks!!It tasted like all I would imagine daikon would be ..hard, tasteless and bitter! We threw away the remaining daikon and was less interested in sowing more daikon seeds..Now, you see, from the previous post, I was having 2 daikon plants in my garden..This morning I took one look at my growing daikon..The whitish part of the daikon has emerged from under the ground and I decided to give it another try..So, I harvested both the daikon that was planted in a small pot.. One looked rather scrawny, a bit longer than the other one, which was a big round..I cleaned them both and after removing the dirt, they looked so white, so pure and divine (oopppsss.I got a little bit carried away) that I almost lost all desire to cook them! (ok, I'm exaggerating at this point..heheheh)..but nonetheless, I cut them up and just did a simple stir-frying with some onion and garlic..When I put them in the mouth, I was speechless..The whitish part was far from bitter..it has a nice tinge of sweetness that was undescribable (is there such word???) by words..unlike the daikon I bought a few weeks ago! The leaves tasted just like bak choy but a bit tougher.. Though it's hard to persuade Mr Warhammer to like Daikon, I was determined to put this veggie on the family menu..I could now see the daikon swimming in my kids soup, stir frying it with some bak choy or spinach, etc..well folks, sorry for the rambling..gotta stop now before I continue blabbering more about my new sweetheart ..the daikon..Adios, people!!<br />

I wonder what went wrong..Next is my chilly plants.. I bought 1 pot from a nursery in Sg Buloh. They strated fruiting a lot, but the second harvest, the fruits were distorted..must be something wrong with my fertiliser but I couldnn't put my finger on it..The chilly plant I grew from seeds had also started flowering but did not turn into fruits!Anyway, this is part and parcel of being a farmer, right??Anyway, just enjoy other plants that I have in my garden guys!!<br />

He also mentioned that to build a strong stalk, they need plenty of sunlight and nutrients .So I quickly moved the bak choy pot (actually only 1 survived out of 20 plants I germinated) to a new place where the sun 1st hit in the morning.

I brought this thing up when discussing gardening matters to my friend, Dean..Like me, he is very keen about gardening and has collected many useful infos about gardening but since he is living in a rented apartment, space is very limited..Back to the main point..Dean brought up about making liquid enzyme fertilizer..Since I was very cautious about stench that may be produced from breaking down of organic materials, he suggested that I used orange or lemon peels instead..It can give a pleasant, citrusy smell.. Upon reaching home from my work yesterday, I made a big pot orange juice and keep aside the orange peels..This is how my liquid enzyme fertilizer looked like:</b><br />

<div style="color: #660000;"><b>Liquid Enzyme Fertilizer Recipe</b></div><div style="color: #990000;"><b><i>100gm of brown sugar (or any unprocessed sugar such as molasses or gula merah/gula melaka)-I used brown sugar</i></b></div><div style="color: #990000;"><b><i>300gm of orange peels (or any fruit peels of your preference such as jackfruit, orange, etc)</i></b></div><div style="color: #990000;"><b><i>1 l of tap water</i></b></div><div style="color: #990000;"><b><i>Airtight container</i></b></div><div style="color: #990000;"><b><i><br />
</i></b></div><div style="color: #990000;"><b><i>How to:</i></b></div><div style="color: #990000;"><b><i>-Mix water with sugar to dissolve..then pour it down the bottle using funnel</i></b></div><div style="color: #990000;"><b><i>-Add the orange peels</i></b></div><div style="color: #990000;"><b><i> -Give the bottle a good shake</i></b></div><b><i><span style="color: #990000;">-Labelled the bottle .

<br />
<div style="color: #38761d; text-align: justify;"><b>This bottle should be left for at least 3 months or more..You would want to open the cap once a day for the first month to let out the "oxygen" from the bottle..If there is any whitish layer formed on the top layer of the content, just tighten the cap to prevent any air from entering and give the bottle a good shake..The enzyme will be ready when it turns dark in colour.. You can filter the solution using any thin cloth such as muslin, diaper cloth or plain ol' t-shirt..For veggies or any plants, dilute 1 part to 20 part of water . Dean told me that he had made this fertilizer once and used it on a lime plant that bore him no fruit at all for the last 10 years..The plant then started to grow flowers and eventually lots of limes!! Can't wait for mine to turn to enzyme to give me lush green veggies to munch on..Will update you on their progress, ok?</b></div><br />

My obsession towards gardening remained strong and this is the longest hobby that I maintained continuously so far (according to Mr Warhammer) besides baking..Before this I had ventured into many things from on-line business, beading, sewing, cup cakes and many more..but those passions did not survive very long.. This morning, me and my twin sister took a little trip to Sungai Buloh to visit a nursery there and ended up buying a kaffir lime tomyam chilli plant, 10 packs of soils and more babba pots..Will post about the plants soon.

</b></div><div style="color: #274e13; text-align: justify;"><b>1) For Kesom..the stalk that wished to be planted should be from the freshest stalk possible..i.e..when you buy from the market, you should immediately remove the leaves, leaving about 3 topmost leaves and immersed it in water for a couple of days (it took me almost 5 days) for the roots to grow..Then, plant it straight to the ground or pot. If you used the refrigerated one, eventhough it will grow roots after immersing in water, the stalk will just wither away after some times.</b></div><div style="color: #274e13; text-align: justify;"><b><br />
</b></div><div style="color: #274e13; text-align: justify;"><b>2) The same goes to lemon grass..Use the freshest one as possible..Do not use the old ones or it will just dry up and die..</b></div><br />

The next part was done by Mr Warhammer. He drilled 4 holes to the bottom of the bottle so that water will not be stagnant inside the bottle during watering.

<b style="color: #b45f06;">For the small container, I planted chinese celery seeds ( or daun sup in Malay) and tomato seeds. The tomato seeds were the left overs tomato from the last cooking and I dried them up under the sun for 2 days. In the big container, I sowed tomato seeds bought from the packet seeds sold in TESCO I did this experiment to see which one will germinate faster and formed a healthier plant later. I also planted dried seeds from the kasturi lime (limau kasturi) into another big pot with the hope that the next time whenever I need a cold jug of lemonade, I don't have to buy the lime from the market again!!</b><br />
<b><span style="color: #b45f06;"> I also planned to plant some kesom leaf plant (sorry, I don't know the name in English) but it's a fragrant leaf added to the asam pedas or laksa. I pulled out all the leaves and left the stalk. I then immersed the bottom part of the stalk with water and I'm waiting for the roots to grow Once they grow, the kesom stalk can be planted straightaway into the pot.</span></b><br />
