The Gardener in Me

My pomegranate trees have grown really tall, almost seven feet tall. It's too early for them to bear fruits just yet. Just a few weeks ago, one of the trees bore a flower. Yes, only one flower and I got so excited over that one flower. However, it just dropped dead just like that. My nona plant is doing well too. So are my avocadoes, lemon, mulberry, papaya, calamansi and kaffir limes. Most of the plants I've already transplanted in the large rubbish bins. Some in the plastic pails that I've got very cheap from the Tesco sales.

The funny thing is that I cannot say the same about my vegetables. My zuchinni really grew very well and suddenly one of the plants succumbed to the soft rot. I don't think it's a common disease to zuchinni. The other two plants are well and only producing male flowers so there goes the fruits since my plants are barren. The last zuchinni is like 'hidup segan mati tak mahu'. My cantaloupe also suffer from the same fate of hidup segan mati tak mahu.

I guess I am more of the fruit tree person rather than the vegetable person. But I am not giving up hope despite with no encouragement from my family. I am determined to make my fruit trees and vegetables grow so that I can taste the fruit of my so called hard labour. One other thing, the other day, the garbage truck pick up all my compost that I've been saving for my plants. Serves me right for making the rubbish bin as a compost bin....even the garbage man isn't supportive of my gardening!!!!.
