This is a windy and rainy week.
It makes my home garden look so messy.
I only have a limited time in gardening, caused by the unfavorable weather.
Look what I have gained this morning...
From my front yard I picked some bilimbis.
I think they are on over ripening stage, so look yellowish.

The passion fruit vine only give me a little basket of fruit.
I have shared it with my friends or neighbors almost everyday.
I still find residual traces of volcanic ashes on the fruits.

From my terrace garden I get lettuces, cauliflowers, tomatoes, purple eggplants, green onion and three varieties amaranths.
The cauliflowers are actually too young to be harvested, but I found some caterpillars on the curds.
So... I picked the bigger curds to safe them.
Here they are the sweet basil and lettuce for lalab (eaten raw) with 'sambal' (traditional hot chilli sauce).
Those are my amaranths.
I picked from my back yard and terrace garden.
Another day I picked some lettuces from my balcony.
That's great for salad and lalab.
Thanks God for everything.
You have a wonderful harvest there Endah!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joanne. That's more than my expectation, cause the downpour and heat my garden look so poor.
DeleteI was surprised to see the cauliflowers. I didn't think that they would like your climate.
ReplyDeleteHere we have so many cauliflower varieties that adaptable in lowland tropics. The imported varieties only adaptable in highland
DeleteYou have overcome many difficulties to yet again gather a wide variety of vegetables and fruits. Very good!
ReplyDeleteThanks. No pain no gain, it needs hard work. And I enjoy it
DeleteWelcome to Endah!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful are your collections.
I marvel at cauliflowers, passion fruit, basil ...
Everything looks beautiful.
I have a very long time to wait for their crops.
Greetings.

Deletehappy gardening aan...you make me...ngiler...
ReplyDeleteMakasih dah mampir. Jangan cuma ngiler donk ;)
DeleteWhat kind of dishes do you make with the eggplant? I enjoy cooking with eggplant. I make a black eyed pea and eggplant salad that is in a vinaigrette that I like.
ReplyDeleteI usually make eggplant stir fry with red pepper (balado) or eggplant soup with coconut milk (lodeh). We have lots of traditional dishes using eggplants. That's great for tempura
