Growing Yam Bean or Jicama In My Garden

A friend gave me some yam bean or jicama seeds. Initially, I was half hearted but later I decided to sow some seeds in a small pot. Within a few days, the seeds sprouted. I forgot to jot down the date that I sowed the seeds.

I use black polybag bags to grow the yam bean or jicama seedlings. I placed them outside in front of my house because I have no more space in the side garden.

Flower buds of yam bean or jicama plants.

It has light purple flowers.

I don't know when exactly I show harvest for yam bean or jicama. Maybe one of these days, I will dig out the soil to check if there is any sign of yam bean in the soil.

Breakfast on a Sunday morning before going to church.

I don't want noodle, so I ordered a sweet bun sandwich.

Sweet bun with luncheon meat and fried egg.

~~~~~

Dinner on Sunday evening.

We had chapati.

I ordered a chicken drumstick or (ayam masak merah) and hubby ordered chicken varuval.

A friend shared the following photos of a monkey she saw when she was on her morning walk one morning. Photos credited to Shirley T.

She and her husband was on their morning walk when they saw this monkey crossing the road. They noticed that this monkey has very long tail.

I used Google Lens to identify this monkey. According to Google Lens, this is the Phayre's Leaf Monkey. Instead of crossing over to the other side of the road, on seeing my friend and her husband, the monkey decided to sit down on the road.

Linking to Saturday's Critters.

Show me the path where I should go, O Lord;

point out the right road for me to walk.

Dine-out dinner at New Weng Fatt Cafe & Restaurant, Ipoh Garden South.

Hubby ordered Gopeng mee (thin wan ton mee) with stewed pork rib.

He also ordered 2 sui kao (dumplings).

These 2 were extra big dumplings with lots of filling.

I will be ordering this on my next visit.

I ordered chapati with sardine. It was my mistake, I prefer sambal sardine.

Hubby ordered 10 skewers of satay. (10 chicken & 5 beef).

Dipping peanut sauce.

This doesn't taste like peanut sauce but some other type of nuts.

Whatever it is, it doesn't matter as long as it is tasty.

The good people taste your goodness,

The whole people taste your health,

The true people taste your truth,

The bad ones can't figure you out.

You take the side of the down-and-out,

But the stuck-up you take down a notch.

(Psalm 18:25-27, The Message-MSG)

Linking to Wordless Wednesday & My Corner of the World.

When we ask the Lord's blessing upon our drinking from the cup

of wine at the Lord's Table, this means, doesn't it,

that all who drink it are sharing together the blessing of Christ's blood?

And when we break off pieces of the bread from the loaf

to eat there together, this shows that

we are sharing together in the benefits of his body.

(1 Corinthians 10:16, The Living Bible-TLB)

Good salt is worthless if it loses its saltiness;

it can't season anything.

So don't lose your flavor!

Live in peace with each other.
