Such a Long Time....

  It has been a very long time that passed and I didn't noticed it and almost forgot I have this blog. But better late than never. I have a few pictures to share on what happened from almost 2 years of dormancy.

All the images in this post were taken last November 2012 and february 2013.

After 4 month from planting the mung beans (monggo) starts to flower.

The picture on the left shows a mung plant having a pods. The tomatoes were just starting to peak up.

Can you spot the cat? :)

The barrel for fishes were put inside the fence because children (our neighbors) are very curious and wanting to catch the fishes inside the blue barrel. Of course my fishes at that time were shubunkin and koi, its irresistible to childs eyes so better put it inside before they'll kill the fishes.

When the mung plants reach its unproductive stage. I decided
to removed it to give way to other plant. The ginger that I've bought at the market have also survived even if it was covered by the lush of mung leaves.

I also planted cabbage but only one grows and then die.

 A better look at the fruits.



































At last some of the first batch of  fruits were turning ripe. I could eat the fruits. I prepared it as an appetizer. At that moment I felt that those fruits were the best of all tomatoes. No wonder because I've waited it for quite some time and finally I have the produce.



Though I had managed to make the tomatoes bear fruits and consume the produce. The plant were not that lucky. It was infested by snails. They were tiny snails, their size were comparable to rice grain and they were somehow translucent yellow. Not only the tomatoes but including the cabbage. Before I managed to eradicate , damage has been done and the 3 tomato plants wilt while still bearing 30 tomatoes all are still green. The cabbage leaves were also eaten every night. I was wondering first why the leaves have holes and some only the stalks were left but I couldn't find any caterpillar. Its the snail trail. They are very voracious little creatures. It was a very sad experience to see all the tomato plants die.  I learned a lesson in that experience, next time if you see impending problem better find solution and correct the problem before it would escalate and turns into disaster.

Next post will be a new setup.. also a new set of plants.
