Its very exciting yah? Today, I just discovered my very first…….TOMATO! Hahahaha. We grew it from seedlings which we bought in a packet from the shop.

MiL has sweetpotato leaves and some others I don’t know the name but know how to eat. Hehe..
but we also don’t have much soil. She uses styrofoam boxes from the fish monger to plant most of her vege.

How clever of your mum. Even styrofoam boxes have been put to good use.

To avoid wait for 6 month, either put more pots or you just pluck the “young” one for cooking, leave others to continue to grow.

Yes, I plucked the young ones and left the rest behind to continue to grow, otherwise my pot will become botak. Hehe.

All the dishes that you cooked taste good. The rice is brown rice? And the soup is lotus root soup?

You can check out Lian’s post (link above) to find out what vege is that. The rice is chicken and yam rice and you got the soup right.

I don’t have any “garden” at all, only plants in pots. Haha.

good 2 know that u have homegrown veggies… time to plant more?

I would love to plant more but I don’t have the space ler. However, the kids wanted to plant something from seedlings. So I let them choose one packet each. The boy chose cherry tomatoes and the girl chose some flowery plant. Hers tak jadi but his has grown taller than him now and has just started flowering. Can’t wait to see the first tomato. Haha. Planting our own from seedlings is the best way to teach the kids science.

Haha. Yah, buying from the supermarket is much easier. A bunch like that would cost about RM3 for organic ones and less if its not organic of course.

Presentation is very important yah? What is actually very simple to prepare, looks 10 times better with presentation. Then it might fool him to think that it taste 10 times better too. lol.
