Growing White Corn In Pots And In the Ground

The days are dry and hot. Whatever we have growing in the garden are not doing well. One of the plants that are doing well is the white corn which doesn't seems to be affected by the hot and dry weather.

This is the 2nd time I am growing white corn. These are grown in pots.

The white corn is not nice to eat on its own but I will be using them to boil soup.

These 2 plants are grown in the ground outside my house.

I saw these 2 motorcycles when we were holidaying in Penang.

These 2 treasures were parked in front of a restaurant.

Struggling With Poor Appetite

On this particular morning, hubby suggested going out to town for breakfast for a change. 

Sunrise at 7:43am.

Our weather is getting warmer with less rain.

I have nothing in particular that I wanted to eat. Just looking for something in clear soup just to fill my tummy.

I ordered flat rice noodle with bbq pork (char siew) in clear soup while hubby ordered curry noodle (dry version). I managed to finish the noodle as the amount was not big but the bbq pork was a bit hard.

For lunch, I had a small bowl of plain rice porridge with some vegetables at the chap fan stall in my area.

After lunch, I had some freshly cut papaya. The taste of the sweet juicy papaya was so soothing to my taste buds and throat.

For dinner, I was looking forward to having some hot soup but that evening the soup was not to my liking. So we ordered the above dishes.

 I managed to finish a small portion of white rice with a little bit of the above dishes. Hubby had to finish the remaining. Thanks to hubby for his patience having to bear with my weird appetite. I felt like I am going through a period of morning sickness. This is worse than what I experienced when I was expecting my 2 kids.

10 birds on the line.

This was in front of my house. Which are birds and which are not?

Look at the birds!

They don't worry about what to eat - they don't need to sow

or reap or store up food - for your heavenly Father feeds them.

And you are far more valuable to him than they are.

Sea Hibiscus Has Seeds For Propagation Too

I have a big pot of Sea Hibiscus growing outside my gate in front of my house.

This is the colour of the Sea Hibiscus flower when newly bloomed in the morning.

It blooms all the year round but the flowers only last for a day.

By mid day, it will starts to change from yellow to the above colour and by evening, the flower will drop off from the plant.

I have propagated a few baby plants for friends using cuttings from the mother plant.

Recently, I noticed some dried seed pods on the plant. Maybe they were there before but I didn't notice them.

 Some of the seed pods were opened and I could see tiny seeds in them. So, it shows that Sea Hibiscus can multiply through seeds. I have not tried using seeds but I think plants that grow from cuttings tend to flower faster.

Everyday, there are new buds on the plant. This is a hardy plant and does not need much care.

but the man who doesn't care is headed for serious trouble.
