Assalamualaikum.
My name is Nabilah and this is (one of) my hobby. Gardening.
 |
| Kailan. Fresh after the morning rain. |
 |
| Baby spinachs |
 |
| Young basils. Love their fragrant. |
 |
| Kuchai |
 |
| Young papaya leaves |
 |
| Screw pine leaves. They smell heavenly. Best added in fragrant rice and sweet porridge. |
 |
| Not really sure what flower this is. Morning glory? |
 |
| Baby kailan |
 |
| Not so much a baby kailan anymore. A young one then. |
 |
| Kailans are delicious with salted fish and fried rice. They need lots of space to grow big. |
 |
| Sawi. A pok choy? |
 |
| A type of lime. Tastes like calamansi. The design on the fruit and leaves are unique. |
 |
| Young limes |
 |
| Classic rose. This plant has produced many flowers for more than a year. The flowers get smaller with time. Perhaps they need more fertilizers. |
 |
| Sawi |
 |
| The kailan growing big and leafy |
 |
| Delicious, aren't they? |
 |
| Mama spinach |
 |
| Ah, we have a guest. When i bought the seed, the packaging said "Bayam" but it didn't really grow into the bayam we so often see in our supermarkets, eh? Wonder what breed of bayam this is. |
 |
| Can you see the flowers? Lots of new seeds coming. |
 |
| Classic kang kung |
 |
| New flower for a new roselle fruit. Best boiled for a nice sweet roselle syrup! |
 |
| Ladies fingers. Still young. |
 |
| Honey lime |
 |
| Okay this plant came into the house already big, with fruits. RM 25 at one of the shops in Sungai Buloh. I love lime leaves. They smell heavenly citrusy! |
 |
| Water orchid. Nice blooms early in the morning. |
 |
| The flowers and stalk is very unique. Never quite seen anything like it before. Got the seeds from a friend in Indonesia. |
 |
| Classic kesum! |
 |
| Pokok misai kucing with purple flowers |
 |
| Kuchai breeds from its flowers. Once they dry, the seeds will pop out and out will come a baby kuchai! |
 |
| Classic baby celery. Or daun sup as we know it. Bred from a baby, and into a fine, healthy shrub today maa sha Allah! |
 |
| Daun selom. An ulam so they say, but i've yet to try it. |
 |
| Daun sup. Aren't they gorgeous? Gives out a nice fragrant in broths. |
 |
| Baby aubergines |
 |
Aubergine flower |
 |
Recognise this? Yes, it's the pineapple. Just replant the pineapple 'head' when you buy one. |
 |
| Baby kailans and sawi |
 |
| Baby bayam |
 |
| Chillis. I suspect they need more fertilizers. Or not if they are cili kampung. Just chuck away dried chilli seeds unto the soil! |
 |
| Chillies in your very own garden maa sha Allah |
 |
| It's a green plant given by grandma. Doesn't emit any fragrance. Purely leaf and a very thin, black stalk. |
 |
| And my very own, classic, calamansi |
 |
| New ones budding from the flower soon |
 |
| Beluntas flower |
 |
| Pokok periuk kera hanging. Or, the pitcher plant in English? |
 |
| Caught some bugs in the "pitcher" a few times |
 |
| New pitchers |
 |
| Oregano. Loves the hot sun. Does not like water. |
 |
| Winda flowers. Love how they hang so beautifully over the flower pot |
 |
| They come in various colours. Purple, pink, baby pink, white... No fragrant though. |
 |
| Our very own classic pegaga |
 |
| Curry leaves. Good for the bones. Delicious in ahem, curries, and butter prawns |
 |
| Always good to have bananas in the house. The leaves are always good for baked/grilled food. They'ld come of the griller smelling heavenly indeed... |
 |
| Some leafy green that invited itself into our garden and we love it |
 |
| Can't go wrong with Petunias |
 |
| Purple petunia |
 |
| Your classic mint leaf. Good in tea of mint infused drinks. |
 |
| Red petunia |
 |
| White petunia. Don't last very long though. |
 |
| Cekur, always fresh with lots of water |
 |
| Rosemary for the lamb |
 |
| Thyme. Sad to say, mine is dying due to the excessive amount of water given to it. *sob* Smells heavenly. Try adding it into English dishes. |
 |
| Gorgeous leaves maasha Allah |
 |
| Not really sure of the name but smells like Jasmine |
 |
| A budding bunga raya. The read and yellow hibiscus. |
 |
| Pegaga |
 |
| Ladies' finger |
 |
| English basil. Leaves are thicker |
 |
| The sweet Japanese rose. A small, shrubby plant. |
 |
| Sireh kaduk |
 |
| Aloe vera. Very easy to bread. Just give it space. Good for the skin and to help soothes burn on the skin. |
