Our Cai Xin is growing!

Look at the Cai Xin (菜心) vegetable growing in our gardens! Organically grown and definitely with no pesticide. This is the fruit of labour of my dad who has laboriously been planting the seeds and watering these plants day and night. 

So! we can actually grow our vegetables here in sunny Singapore! This is our first piece of evidence. Unfortunately it hasn't been raining for a month now since Chinese new year ended in January. Its becoming a drought now and we really have to take the vegetables out before they turn bad and burnt by the hot scorching sun. And what with the haze due to the Indonesian forest fires and volcanic eruption .. Global warming ouch!

And look at our avocado too! I wonder if this can be grown here under our tropical weather. Let's see if we can reap any fruits... I have recently received an email blaster selling small avocado trees starting from $288! But see, perhaps we can trying planting some ourselves .. or maybe our government can consider planting some avocado trees .. hmmm
