NEW PUMPKIN THIS SEASON

Rain... rain... rain...

Water here and there.

Our garden looks so wet.

So many plants are growing like crazy.

This plant makes me so interested... yeah the pumpkin!

Self grown pumpkin, It might came from the compost heap.

Beautiful leaves... so lush!

This plant is taking over the the path way.

When I was checking the raised bed, I found an interesting thing.

A little pumpkin fruit is hanging on the vine.

I can't wait to see the fruit ripe...

HOPEFULLY PUMPKIN PATCH

Love to see our pumpkin patch.

Actually it's a self grown pumpkin that's growing happily on the pathway among the gravel.

We can see the pumpkin patch here.

Lots of flowers there, but mostly are male flowers.

Whatever... they are so beautiful!

Some visitors really enjoy the flowers...

When we notice the plant, some female buds are popping up from the stem segments.

It looks so promising!

Some of the female flower buds failed in blooming then withered and fallen.

Whatever it happened, I'm sure we will get some healthy pumpkin next.

I hope...

ENJOYING THE BLIGO PATCH

Our backyard is really messy right now.

Look... the trellis next to the kitchen is full of Bligo leaves (Benincasa hispida).

Mostly old leaves, yellowish and withered. 

But... we can find some fruits are hanging or laying on this trellis. 

I still have no idea when is the best time to harvest them.

The weight of the fruit is about 1-2 kilograms.

The flower is so beautiful...

Love to enjoy this patch.

BLIGO : WELCOME TO THE KITCHEN

As a lazy gardener, sometimes I let our home garden looks what it is.

The plants grow naturally looks like as wild.

But sometime that's annoying.

Look... the vine of Bligo or Kundur (Benincasa hispida) is sneaking into the kitchen through the small gaps under the roof.

Dangling...

Fresh new shoot...

New shoot is peeking!

Male flower buds...

Female flower a day after bloomed.

Little female flower bud.

A visitor...

They have been sneaking since three weeks ago, but I have had no time to cut them or tidy up.

Just enjoy the long shoot in the kitchen...
