HOME-GROWN IS THRIVING

    Home-grown veggies seem to be the most recent activity in my neighbourhood.       This pumpkin patch on a fence is making heads as we take our morning walks. ALAS, it is not mine.

 Our residents have slowly but surely started their own vegetable plots. 
         Either we buy or grow our own veggies, there is always an insatiable demand for food. Some plots are more productive
like this pineapple patch.
 Others are rather “sad” like this water melon the size of an egg!
MY pathetic VEGGIES - "sayur manis,"
water spinach, mint, lemon grass and screw pine leaves.
Blame it on the lock down or partial lock down, 
home-grown is thriving along the side walks and back yards. 
And Malaysians love chillies with every meal.

  1. Your egg sized watermelons looks sweet - and I hope its taste was bigger than its size. We have planted vegies here too. Tomatoes, beans, rainbow chard, lots of herbs. And heaps of chillies. Himself loves them, and I live them.
    Pineapples are not possible though. Sigh.

    1. The egg size water melons were tiny but bursting with sweetness. Your amount of veggies is incredible. Himself must be a real chilli eater!!

  2. Home grown veggies are tastier than the ones from market. Alas! All the soils are not suitable for gardening. Nice pictures and apt captions.

    1. Yes, home grown are tastier cos they are freshly picked. My ground soil is not too good too so I use pot mix
