APPLE SEEDLINGS

Went shopping for apple seedlings last weekend at the local DIY...

Saw some palm trees for sale...

Eyes almost shot out of their sockets upon seeing the prices...

Almost US$150.00 for one palm tree...

Oh man... to think that I had just lopped off three of those palm trees in my garden some weeks ago...

Rugi again...

Bought two apple tree seedlings...

One Fuji and the other, Tsugaru...

They are supposed to bear fruits in about five years' time...

Meanwhile, see some fruits from my garden...

CHILLIES FROM THE GARDEN



More 'fruits' from the garden...

The chillie plants are still productive even as the November temperatures slide...

From top... everyone probably know the long beans...

Got the seeds from my mum in the kampong...

Taste very good with fish curries...

The three green ones are the regular bell peppers...

On their left are some Bhutan chillies...

Thick flesh and hot enough to burn my lips and cause me to hiccup while eating it...

Below the Bhutan chillies are some Japanese chillies...

Pretty hot but not as 'terror' as the Bhutan types...

The king of hot chillies could very well be the yellowish-orange colored habanero...

Bringing it close to the nose is good enough to experience its hot-ness...

Woooh... and I have it in my garden...
