Gardening is one of our hobbies. My hubby is considered to be a green-finger person because plants grow well under his supervision. But what seems to be the matter is .......TIME!! As for me, I like gardening too but ever since we have been having the two growing kids...we had to put this hobby aside. Everyday routine...working and back at home...giving more attention to the kids...because we as parents (globally all parents) do not want to miss the valuable experiences...bonding time...watching them play, learn and grow. Now that they are growing bigger each day...and we decided to get ourselves back into this gardening matters.

So these are the pictures of what are growing in our little garden.......

This chilli plant is different from the ordinary ones. The fruits are very minute and round. However the degree of hotness is VERY VERY HOT....me myself do not dare to eat...

This winter melon plant can bear so many fruits..that is why we like to plant this one. There are six seedlings growing here and if the plants grow well...surely will bear many winter melons.

Spinach is my favourite. I like the 'all red' spinach. But at this stage, the greatest enemies are the garden snails and the moon snails. The galangal plants (lengkuas, in Malay) is commonly grown here because most of the Asian cuisines include galangal in their recipes.I sowed the cherry tomato seeds and after three days the seeds turned into seedlings already. Happy me.....
Aaa....this one is the grape vine. It has been growing for almost fours years now. Don't be surprised...the plant stays like this. It has not produced any fruits yet. I believe this plant cannot really adapt to the climate here. But I have eaten some of the locally grown green grapes in my jobmate's vineyard. The grapes look delicious and juicy but of course SOUR!

This is called the birds' cherry tree. It is true by its name...because the chance of seeing the ripe red cherries is always NARROW. Birds love to eat the sweet red cherries. The tree is very shady and very aromatic.

These are my mini orchids blooms. At this time, only this four orchid species bear flowers. They are so lovely....
