KK Ng's BlogProjects - All things new to me!
Harvest Time!!!
Category: GARLIC | Posted: Thu Jan 12, 2012 2:49 pm Six months had passed and they just looked like they are not going to grow any further. 
Garlic ( photo / image / picture from KK Ng's Garden ) A couple of the plants had lost their bulb and I have no idea why or how. Looking at the picture I am sure you can imagine how hot the weather is! 
No Bulb??? ( photo / image / picture from KK Ng's Garden ) Here is a picture of one of the plants with the missing bulb. 
Leeks?? ( photo / image / picture from KK Ng's Garden ) These are the plants with the bulb and they do not resemble garlic bulbs at all because there is no cloves. They look excatly like leek don't they? This blog entry has been viewed 976 times
Bad Sign?!
Category: Project Red Chili Pepper | Posted: Tue Dec 27, 2011 3:35 pm 
Curling new leaves! ( photo / image / picture from KK Ng's Garden ) Just a couple of days before I noticed that all the new leaves were curling and drying up, couldn't find any visible pest on it so I guess the vegan vampires must be the culprit. The weather was cool so it cannot be any heat causing this. 
Chili Flower ( photo / image / picture from KK Ng's Garden ) While inspecting the plant, I found that it had started to flower again and there were quite a few of them. The foilage is still very thick anf I thiink it will have a hard time growing the fruits in such confine spaces. 
Sweet Pepper ( photo / image / picture from KK Ng's Garden ) Since the time I almost made the plant naked, it had grown back it's foilage but in terms of height just a coupple of miserable centimeters. I wonder whether the weather here is suitable for this species ..... Coming back to the vegan vampires, I had the plant sprayed with my mix of garlic, onions, dish washing liquid and red wine. The next day most of the affected leaves fell off and I continued with the spray. So far so good, no more curly drying out leaves. I wonder what is next!! This blog entry has been viewed 1160 times
Oops!!
Category: Project Red Chili Pepper | Posted: Thu Dec 08, 2011 3:27 pm Thanks for the tips Sojerd, Carloyn. I read them in the morning and by the time I get to the pepper plant after pruning my herbs, I thought that I am supposed to prune it also and I did just that. Just a moment ago, I read the comments again and .... oops! 
Pruned! ( photo / image / picture from KK Ng's Garden ) I hope no damage is done here. 
Young Fruits ( photo / image / picture from KK Ng's Garden ) I removed all the flowers and was surprised that some fruits were already forming, those were removed too. Carolyn, according to the packaging, it says 65 to 85 days to harvest which I guess that is when the fruits are ready for the picking. I guess all I can do now is sit tight and wait.

It's Miserable
Category: Project Red Chili Pepper | Posted: Wed Dec 07, 2011 3:44 pm 45 days had passed and it is looking miserable. 
Looks Stunted ( photo / image / picture from KK Ng's Garden ) It is hardly a foot tall and it is already flowering, is it stunted? Hmm ... could this be the result of the crazy weather? Should I pruned it and remove the flowers to encourage it to grow bigger and taller? Anyway the good news is that it is free of pest. This blog entry has been viewed 1041 times
Finally I am at it again!
Category: Project Red Chili Pepper | Posted: Fri Oct 21, 2011 4:07 pm Oops!! Six months had passed and I finally got down to working on this project again, yes Project Red Chili Pepper. In my last post on this project I mentioned that I planted 2 seeds for this project and they did not germinate mainly due to negligence. I was kind of a busy with ..... yes,yes, excuses excuses so let's not get into that. 
Bell Pepper ( photo / image / picture from KK Ng's Garden ) Recently I received some bell pepper seeds in the mail and this is the only seedling I got from about 10 seeds that I planted. To-date it is about 5 weeks since the day I sowed the seeds and just had it transplanted to the ground. Now to keep an eagle eye on it and to make some of the special brew for immediate action when the need arises. This blog entry has been viewed 1191 times

Winter Garlic Land
Category: GARLIC | Posted: Tue Aug 23, 2011 4:05 am Took Sojerd advice and placed insence stick in the four directions and .... 
It snowed? ( photo / image / picture from KK Ng's Garden ) it snowed!!! Wow!! Looks like I am getting fall garlic soon!! Hahaha!!! Just joking, the ice is from the freezer that Becky was cleaning and I thought that if I can con the garlics into believing that a quick winter just passed, it might just start to wake up and grow!
