[S] Okra (Lady's Finger)

On Monday, I put in 16 seeds of Okra into two trays. The seeds were from a packet (Horti) bought from NTUC Welcome. It said that they would germinate in 10 days. But ohmigosh! on Wednesday 13 of them had germinated and by Friday, they are pretty vigourous and more than 2 inches high.

[S] A seven-month hiatus

Oh my goodness - a 7-month hiatus - not only of posting in this blog but also a 7-month hiatus from doing much gardening - and the result - my garden is completely overrun with weeds - I don't think there is much chance of salvaging it - the garden was originally planted with Pearl Grass. It was expensive but was supposed to be low maintenance mainly because the Pearl Grass does not grow vigourously. And its very low vigour means that weeds have a field day when the owner is negligent. See picture of Pearl Grass (above) at its best. (This is not a picture of the Pearl Grass in my garden ha ha)
