Good morning! School holiday is over liao. So fast time flies. Feels like holiday not enough .
What did I do during the holidays? Help Mamarazzi do some gardening and also balik kampung. Balik kampung photos will have to be later as Mamarazzi have yet to sort out.
So ...do you want the good news first or bad news?
Okay...the bad news first.....Mamarazzi's mint and basil was attacked by these yucky black bugs.
Too bad can't use the commercial bugs killers coz these leaves are grown for consumption. Dangerous leh.
So she was busy "chasing" after them coz these bugs kept migrating from one and another of her plants.
Till now she is still "chasing" coz its quite hard to get rid of them
The good news is that the Kacang Panjang(Long Beans) plant that we planted during Hari Raya is growing well.
It started to flower during the holidays.
So funny looking at the beans.
Again...spray spray lo...
Good morning,
ReplyDeleteSurely mamarazzi has "green fingers" and truly organic vege too!
no leh....hard to maintain also
DeleteI must ask mamarazzi's gardening advices when I am back to Kuching and start a mini farm at home. :)
ReplyDeleteI never had green fingers but hope to successfully planted few veggies at home.
Yaloh. So fast school re-open. But only 2 months to study then a long holiday starts. ;)
Mamarazzi still lesen lembu leh.

DeleteEeeyer those black bugs so yucky one, attacked mamarazzi's basil+mint.. But nevermind the long beans growing well.. Can 'tau kok chin tan' liao (long beans fried egg), hehe..
ReplyDeletecannot nevermind leh...have to chase away those bugs else it will attack others too

ReplyDeletethanks SK. Full force ah...not sure about that...still tonne to catch up
Deletefuyoh, leaving the plants there for a week, now the green fingers back to rescue them.. so scary lah kena attacked by bugs and ants!! OMG.. but then Uncle SK thought Mamarazzi got too many basil leaves until she wanted to giveaway, now better lah, the bugs and ants help Mamarazzi to finish them up mah.. hehehe!!
ReplyDeleteargh...not good ah...they attack other "innocent" plants too ah
Deletewah, using the organic way to control the pests!! good lah Mamarazzi.. but then in the neem oil mixture, got fermented garlic water?? Mamarazzi made that herself?? but why gotta add in dishwashing liquid?? aiyoh, like that then good for makan ah if got the dishwashing liquid?? bcos chemicals mah, later the plants also absorb them how la??
ReplyDeletenot sure why have to add...that's why the sifu teach in gardening group....maybe add dishwashing liquid so that the thing can wash off when rain kot.
DeleteEr.. 4 long beans, enough to cook one dish meh?
ReplyDeleteenough...fry egg lo
DeleteAiyor...hate it when plants get infected. Our Thai basil just died like that for no reason...now got anak coming out, hope no more problem - so nice to use in cooking. My curry leaves out of control again, kacau!!! Rambutans flowering...should be ready for the plucking end of the year. Want to come and help?
ReplyDeleteya lo...have a lot of work to rescue the, .
Deleteeih, interesting!! this is the first time Uncle SK ever see a long bean plant leh.. oh, got such nice flower ke?? and jakun Uncle SK, he thought the long beans must be growing downwards hanging from the plant, but that's not the case leh, see Mamarazzi's long bean is actually growing upwards dei!! interesting~~
ReplyDeletememang hanging down the plants...these are still babies so it have V and M shape LOL
DeleteNever mind.. we got to learn from the starting point.. no one is born a vegetable planter straight away.. :)
ReplyDeletebetul tu...trial and error
DeleteMamarazzi sure has green thumb lah.
ReplyDeleteSyioknya makan fresh produce plucked from own backyard. :)
ya....no vege in the fridge can pluck from kebun
DeleteI was trying to figure how much quantity is 1/8 of Neem Oil. I am interested to buy and try them too.
ReplyDeleteteaspoon ...very very very little...coz if too much it will kill the plant
DeleteIt is so healthy and refreshing to do gardening. The satisfaction would be when you harvest them to eat. So heavenly happy.
ReplyDeletegot its ups and down lo
DeleteThe black bugs on the leaves gave me goose bumps. hope the neem oil spray will chase them all away. 4 long beans - can make an omelette. Good for mamarazzi. Do keep it up! Growing vegetables. Hope small kucing enjoyed and his parents enjoyed the school holiday!
ReplyDeleteYes can make omelette. yummy
Deletewah so many plants! your garden must be very big! :P
ReplyDeletenot big la....just smal one
DeleteThose bugs are bad huh?
ReplyDeleteNeem oil, first time heard about this.
yes baddddd......
Deletemamarazzi also just learn about neem oil
I also found that ants love my long bean plant. But it did not eat the beans, only walk here n there. I think the flowers are very sweet, that's why they are attracted to it. I find the ants helpful to pollinate the flowers, so you get more beans!
ReplyDeletethought long beans are one of the plants that self polinates....?
Deleteinteresting topic..
ReplyDeleteOh Kathy!!! I wish I can grow such things esp the veggies. I should also try to get the neem oil for spraying. Also always kena eaten up, esp my limau purut leaves.
ReplyDeleteyea...now learning from various gardening groups
DeleteWah, home grown vegetables, best-nya!
ReplyDeletehehehehe........tiny achievement
DeleteOh I also thought supposed to snip off the whole stem. Tried to grow long beans before and also kena these small insects. Sienss and give up dy.
ReplyDeletenot easy to plant...need to jaga else those pests will come kacau :(
DeleteNeem oil!! I know neem leaves are suppose to kill parasites so I guess the oil would kill bugs too.
ReplyDeletedoesnt kills bugs but rather they scared of the smell or something like that
