It’s either the girls, the food or the garden or all included….

Bila cuti sekolah ni, my mornings tak lah taken up with making lunches, getting The Little Misses ready for school and sending them off to school.

So, pagi2 boleh lah lepak2 sekejap and main2 kat kebun takde sape kacau (well, except Miss 7 yang suka sangat berkebun sama sambil talking n chatting non stop!).

Ingat tadi, nak lah dengar burung2 berkicau pagi2 sambil berkebun. Rupa2nya dengar another type of ‘burung’ yang berkicau! A new species, ‘burung curly haired’ yang berkicau non stop and selagi I tak jawab her questions, selagi tu dia akan berkicau but bila dah jawab her question, another question pulak will pop up! hehehehe….

Since I kat kebun pagi tadi, layan some photos I took.

Ini lah gambar the ‘curly-haired bird’ yang berkicau non-stop. Her favourite job kat kebun is picking the produce especially the tomatoes. Sambil petik, sambil masuk mulut sekali Smile.

Kangkung, eggplants and the still tiny radishes infront of the kangkung. I’m allergic to radishes but The Other Half loves it, tu yang I tanam jugak. And tadi I baru perasan dah ada sebiji eggplant berbuahSmile.

My very hot chillies. Pokok chilli ni so compact, memang sgt2 kemetot but I think tengok buah dia, sure pedas giler kan! Sapelah yg nak makan tu nanti, hehehe.

I baru aje transferred these 3 okra/bende seedlings pagi tadi into the vege patch. Hopefully, they’ll survive lah.

Some of the tomatoes that we left unpicked sebab masih belum betul2 merah lagi.

Miss 7 said to me pagi tadi, “you want me to tell you a fact about sunflowers? The flowers will face the sun when they open.”

Then bila dia tengok this multiheaded sunflowers going everywhere. She got a bit confused. Obviously, the sun is everywhere, hehehehe.

And ini pulak our dinner malam tadi. Noticed the corn?

We had stuffed roast chicken with roast veges n steamed corn.

Ini jagung hasil dr kebun but they were so tiny! Sama besar dengan the baby zucchinis.The Other Half kata, penat aje menanam but 1 tiny corn from each pokok! Terus dia tak nak tanam corns lagi dah, hahahaha.

So, pagi tadi I cabut all the corn plants except 1. Boleh I tanam benda lain lepas ni Smile.

  4. Amboi peladang jaya. Makan jagung freshly picked from own vege. patch. Smlm saya mkn jagung rebus beli kat pasar mlm(tak tahu kat mana)sbb husband beli.

    Rasanya baka jagung tu mmg kerdil. I wish i have vege patch like you.

  8. KOG,
    hikhikhik...nasib baik jadi petani berjaya kan ;-P

    Noir,
    thanks for the compliment :-). She is definitely 1 chatty kid!

    Sooyaree,
    I think it's grape tomatoes, tu yg panjang but tiny just like grapes :-).

    When the night light is off,
    Takde lah berjaya mana, that's why our corns semua tak membesar dgn jaya, hehehe.
    Lepas ni, we have to go back to buying our corns kat supermarket aje lah :-)

    Diaumaininaz,
    Salam singgah ke my blog. Bila Spring n Summer, memang bersemangat nak bercucuk tanam ni :-)

    Anis,
    Next week is going to be extra hot kat Perth ni. We all tak larat nak keluar bila panas sgt2 ni. Hajat hati nak berpicnic sakan Xmas n NY nanti but kalau panas, kena postpone lah :-)

    Kak Rose,
    Memang seronok gak ada kawan nak pot pet tp dia pot pet 95%, I cuma pot pet 5% aje, hahahaha

    Shiori,

    Tomatoes tu dah tau, everytime the curly haired bird masuk kebun, mesti diaorang kena petik! hehehe

    Putu,
    Tu yg I tak tergamak lagi nak makan cili tu sbb tak tau lah lidah I sanggup nak makan ke tak, hehehe.
