TERRACE GARDEN 2011# 2

 On July 2011, I got a most  memorable moment in my life. 
My little brother got married July 3rd and my mother was passing away one day later.  
My mother loved my terrace garden so much. 
When she was visiting my house, the first place that she visited was my terrace garden. 
She usually stayed there for a long time. 
She often gave me some advice about planting and growing plant. 
After she passed away, I took a break for a moment in gardening. 
I loosed my passion. 
My garden looked so messy. 
Poor garden.... 
The weed grew rapidly, some plants were dry caused drought. 
Oh... no...

Bitter gourd, hot chilli pepper, green bean, tomatoes and cucumber

 3 days later, I found cosmos leaves...

Look the broccoli ! They were growing well. 

Lettuce looks so fresh on candy plastic jars.  

I planted cauliflowers and chilli pepper in  the cooking oil plastic-pouch.

3 days later....

Chinese cabbage on paint bucket...
