I DON'T LIKE THIS ONE...

I don't know why these bugs are always disturbing my eggplant leaves.

They make any holes, and the leaves will be dry on any parts.

And then, the plant will stagnant on flowering also fruiting.

The new leaves usually smaller and thicker.

I have no idea to keep my eggplant free from these bugs.

Reader, have you any idea or experience about this bug?

I hope someone know about this bug, and how to treat the infected plant?

Please share, I will love it.

Thank you for sharing!

This is one of my favorite vegetables... eggplant or here we call it as 'terong'.
I don't know how many variety that I've been growing on my garden.

RAISED BED ON PROGRESS

Actually my western backyard is often neglected.
I have made some simple raised beds started from 2010.
Then in 2011 I made  better raised beds using bricks as the edges.
On 2012 after house's reconstruction, I made permanent raised beds using waste materials from the reconstruction.
So we have better beds also pathway.
The gravel pathway is really work to control weeds on this pathway.

Actually nothing special with my raised beds.
I do often get some problem on my raised bed, especially I have four kitties that they are really love to play all day long.
They are usually playing, running, jumping, rolling and many more on my raised beds.
So... my little plants usually broken and then died.
A messy garden...

HYACHINTH BEAN : PICK THE SEEDS AND BEANS

This is the purple version of my hyacinth bean.

The leaves are so lush, so dense.

I didn't know if the first cluster of the beans have already mature and ready for the seed.

The flower is still so rare, especially during this rainy season.

I think I have to be patient to pick a bountiful of beans.

Waiting for the dry season as the peak of the 'bean time'.

Just a few beans for this season, no problem...

At least I have seeds for the next planting.

RAIN LILY

A pink little lily in the rain...

Pink flower among the Begonia foliage.

Yea... a rain lily!
Pink rain lily (Zephyranthes rosea) is a pretty flower.

After a long sleep, this sleeping beauty have already woken up.

She have taken a rest for a long time during the dry season.

This new season, lets wake up with all of the freshness....

PLANTATION DAY

Today we celebrate 'Hari Perkebunan' or Plantation Day.
This day is celebrated in order to remind the day when all of foreign plantations had taken over by Indonesian Government or we call it the nationalization of  foreign plantations about 57 years ago.

Indonesia looks like  a paradise for so many spices and other agricultural stuffs for industries.
Pepper, clove, tobacco, cane, coconut, nutmeg, cinnamon, rubber, coffee, cacao, vanilla, sandalwood, and many more all are provided in my lovely country.

Most of the products are exported to the world wide.
Indonesia is one of the main producers for so many various plantation product in the world.

Keep green and stay wise on managing our land and environment to provide the human needs without make damages.
Sustainability of environment should be the priority.
Happy Plantation Day for all farmers and stake holders in Indonesia.
