Living in JB

Nice write up....

Gardening is so tiring..

The more i think i know about it the lesser i know..

Is this in a pot? If so much easier. If in the ground, can be done just a lot more work. They can be transplanted and roots are quite hardy. If in the pot, just take the entire plant and soil out of the pot. Spread out a large newspaper to catch your soil droppings.

You will need to have patience to slowly loosen the soil around the baby plants to dislodge it from the mother plant. Just use care and not break too many roots. Put back mother plant into old pot and top up with soil/compost and water. Pot the baby into another prepared pot. Keep the soil moist but not overly wet. Young roots susceptible to root rot if too wet. Also, keep pots in semi shade for at least two weeks. Don't want the baby plants to die from heat exhaustion would you?

Happy transplanting.

ps: I usually prepare the new potted soil a couple of days before the transplant. Mix good heaps of compost and soil in a new pot(s). Water the pot down and keep it moist for a few days then do the transplants. Some how I feed the ready soil will be less stress to the transplants.

Yes indeed sweaty and tiring. However when you see the fruits and vegs in your garden, you will soon forget how hard it was to begin with

Agreed mate..

U r living in jb too?

Please share more of your tips as and wen...

Eating the raddish, its leaves, the mint leaves, colocasia leaves, corriander, holy basil etc has been deeply fulfilling.

Apart from the chillies turmeric leaves etc...

The turmeric leaves are so fragrant.

The rewards are priceless..

Mine is from Huawei, with built in rechargeable battery to bring it out.

Yes, Maxis is faster than Digi. But Digi speed is good enough for me (surfing, check goggle maps on the go bec I do not have GPS device)

As for the saying, pay peanuts .... do not get .... taps?

I am using P1 at home.

Overall, the fees to get a decent speed and quota, is costing me about the same as in Sgp. Although it is unlimited in Sgp, there are many times that I experienced slow connection. Fair Use Policy in practice but not spelt out in contract and advertisement :*:

is it my imagination or less hdb dwellers handing the national flag today?

100% not your imagination - CNA's poll says 81% will not put up the national flag.

Seriously, who has the mood to? Public transport fares went up just prior to N'Day, 3 months after GE there are still not much resolutions by the govt on all the ills from high cost of living. My monthly income tax just shot up 33%..... enough said, isn't it?

 

[abugumgum]

I bought it from a chap who posted it for sale (brand new) in one of the Sgp hardware forum, cannot remember which one now.

Got it at S$190 in April this year.

If you are keen on this option, need to check for new models etc and if any better options coming up, esp with the LTE launching "soon".

Ha Ha , I know it takes longer than 7 years...that is how long I waited when I was a young boy planting 5 mango trees ! I did not get to taste any when my family shifted out of kampong. You want to taste sooner go for macotting mango tree.

Lots of chillies in my garden.....

How the hell did that happen!!

 

[Analytical Professor]

My mum harvested a few bitter gourds....

gonna try eat them raw... Maybe just one for starters

 

[Analytical Professor]

My son was in the garden with my mum. He came rushing back n said dad come il show u chillies, tomato flower n bitter gourd

Quite a joy to c em amidst nature n learnin

 

[jasonjst]

How does that happen?

I think the guy that did the macotting must have do it on a branch that already got mango fruits in it lor .

mango is a seasonal fruit....by the next season you see fruit again.
I also bought chicku tree from macotting. After all the first batch of fruits dropped (maybe stolen?), new flowers appeared. Damn, I rented the place out then ! Again didn't get to taste but at least tasted honey mandarin of Thai origin, not exactly sweet like honey :-(

 

[house]

looking forward to have my own garden..... can I ask u guys about gardening later??? I dont know anything about gardening....
wanna have basil leave and some vege/chilli/fruits for own consumption, is it possible???

 

[wesel]

Bro,
So where is your new place?
Depends on whether you superstitous or not.. most of the deliveries are indeed impacted by the hari raya festive period..
full payments for renovation & furniture.. awaiting the 3+2 sofa set soon..
A 3 day stay in SEG.. glad to say, no mosquitoes during the evenings..
Fixed up the antenna (cheapo type) but only can receive the malaysian channels..
For internet connections, checked with the residents club & they say signals weak so only TM for now.. (may need to ask various mobile operators to confirm)

My place is HH-GE.

Property tax and utilities bill also shoot up. LKY can enjoy air con without worry, the lesser mortals must live frugal lives without air con.
