The chillis are ready too

Just an update on my chilli plant. It produced only 2 long chillis. :)


this is what happen if you put too much nitrogen...you get less chilli

I will harvest this later on :)

It's growing fast

Hmm..Just a quick update on the eggplant again. They are growing fast after the fruit sets last week. Keep on growing ok...

A week later...

Lime Plant update

Remember the lime plant that I bought 2 months ago? It is very productive and it keeps on producing lime fruits. Oh yeah, its fragant flowers have been attracting butterflies and its larvaes and I had to hand pick them. What a job! :D

I think one of the limes is ready to be picked.

Can you count the number of the fruits?

The eggplant is fruiting...

She fruitssss finally! I am just waiting for the eggplants to get bigger. I just have only one issue now. It's coming to the end of the year and the sun slowly shifts away from my balcony. Normally I would get full direct sun from 9 a.m to 4p.m but now I notice that I receive only 4 hours of morning sun. So I might be moving my eggplant to the back of the house where it will get direct sun once again. Eggplant definately does best in warm and full sun.


2 eggplants guranteed...

she is roughly 2.5 months old...
