They NEVER give up!

A bountiful harvest of Siu Pak Choy and Pak Choy!

The visitor in RED dropped by again!
Looping caterpillars devouring one tray of Siu Pak Choy!

And then I suddenly realized why there were so many moths around of late! The Looper Moth which produces Looping Caterpillars.
The Okra harvest has begun!!!!

Garlic chives!
Okras in pots!
Periwinkle seeds!

Periwinkles!
Periwinkle growing from seeds!
Periwinkle's greatest enemy!
Garden soldier fly! Very beneficial for everybody's garden.

My thriving lime plant!

  1. Wow, you have green fingers! All organic and no fertilizers? Those fat okras are sooo deli looking, makes me want to plant them myself... would you say it's for beginners? Hint hint, money plant can even die in my hands... : (

    1. Hi Irene! Yes, as organic as it can be. I use organic sheep's manure from New Zealand and water my plants/veggies/flowers with molasses once a week.

      Okra is pretty easy. So is Siu Pak Choy. The seeds sprout easily! Give them a try. :)

    1. Yup! The bugs are beautiful. Not only is the garden a joy, it is a refuge/haven. :)
