When I am not surfing the internet reading fashion blogs and fellow mummy-blogs, I am occupying my time with another hobby - gardening.
With our huge balcony, I realized I could actually do a lot of gardening in it.
I think I picked up my green fingers from my Dad and Aunt (his younger sister who lives with my family). I have recollections of my childhood watching my Dad grow African violets and other plants, but my Mum would complain that they were "messy" and threw them away ;(
Luckily for me, Andy shares the same sentiments about gardening as I do.
Thank God for a man who loves nature and animals as much as I do.

My interest is in planting edible food.
Upcycling an unwanted Styrofoam box into a planter. I drilled holes at the bottom, laid some gauze and wood chips to prevent soil from falling out. |
After a week of growing capsicum seeds, the stronger seedlings are ready to be transferred to the Styrofoam planter. Egg cartons are the best, BEST seed starters. |
Capsicum seedlings home upgrade. |
Besides Styrofoam boxes, you can upcycle wooden pallets (far left) and wine crates too! |
Our Okra, or better known as Ladies fingers. |
4 ladies fingers make one serving. |
Stir-fried sambal belachan Okra with minced chicken and anchovies. My helper said it was sedap :) |
Green house when we speak about the inexperienced residence every body can without problems take into account that we want a private or maintain place for developing something. modular greenhouse house are made for the reason of presenting a neat, clean and secure location in which you could grow your vegetable, flower and tree that you want.
