Ladybug feasting on aphids! YAY!!!
Somehow after the caterpillars are done munching the leaves, the ants would congregate at the areas where the caterpillars munched and feast on whatever they have left behind!
The Swallowtail butterfly came to lay its eggs on all the citrus plants!
Choy Sum Flower!
Compost in the making! And I have 3 pots! :)

The howling wind together with the freak storm blew this pot over! The storm broke twigs, tore leaves and flooded some pots!

I finally found the culprit that has been damaging my Okra leaves!
The looper caterpillar!!

Portulacas!
Okra flower
The Okra harvest has begun! :)

    1. I mostly handpick the bugs. I have just finished my own home-made enzyme. Will be using that as a natural pesticide/insecticide. :) for snails it has been salt and also pick-and-crush!!!!! :P
