What's happening in our back yard?

Since we were back from Italy. My husband got his old hobby back , he is into gardening. But most of the times when you are not surrounded by people that share the same hobby with you, you will get discourage as no one to share the passion with.

We use to lived in the house with the garden in Guangzhou suburb ( Panyu district) , China. We had rosemary bushes , basil, Papaya trees, tomatoes, chillies, etc. For vegetables or fruits that are easy to get maybe it doesn't excite us much, but to have a fresh imported herbs in our yard that will make a big difference. That was great for me, as I can make homemade pasta sauce with fresh herbs from our own garden.

So this time, my dh got some seeds from Italy. His brother is also into gardening. This time he plans some zucchini, giant tomatoes , Cherry tomatoes, Sage, Mint, Rosemary,
Basil. I hope all can grow well. So far the Giant tomatoes and Zucchini looks ok. They are still just a tiny buds. Tomatoes however are the tricky one, if not enough sun it wont have any fruits at all.

We never try to plant any imported plants at home in Malaysia. So we hope the climate, including the rain and the soil will be suitable at least for some of the plants. Though Rosemary will be hard to be grown from the seeds. At least I hope we got basil and sage. I love home made pesto sauce !!! Nyum...


2 farmers to be, digging out our back yard. My dh got help from his friend.
The soild here are quite good for plants and it is hard to remove the grass totally as they grow back in no times.
Kungfu fighters. Pardon me for the topless guys over here :)
My little gardener
How our garden look like now, the green net is to protect the plants from our dogs. The backyard were belong to them before , but now not anymore. But don't worry they still have the side yard and the front yard to dig and hide their bones and stuffs :)

My aunty who stay with me for the time being, helped to burn the grass and leaves.

Our lil's busy body who always yes ALWAYS put shoes in the wrong side.

These are the giant tomatoes plants( photo taken by Indy) and it should be move here later on :
