Off topic; nice shots of the vines creeping.
The Queen says: No off topic, dear. I’m more eager to show off my photography than crops. Ah yes! That word I’ve been searching for – VINES! Thanks dear 😉

waaaa, bitter gourd in your garden! no garden here for me to grow veges. not that I’m a fan of bitter gourd, but growing anything in my house would be a miracle. surprisingly, my plants are still surviving… hehe!
The Queen says: If I have big and nice garden like yours, I won’t plant any vegies. Would transformed them into a landscape with pergola and koi pond!Â

wah, u really got green fingers hor? I like the 1st & 2nd pic! Very nice photos!
The Queen says: I think gardening especially planting veges is by luck only. But after so many years planting, I kinda roughly know what should and should not do.

I love bitter gourd! Used to grow them in my garden too, but they got really out of hand – they were creeping all over my other plants. So, hiya! cut them all off. Now, no more bitter gourds.
The Queen says: They creeps all over my fence. Now they even hijack one of my laundry line!

[…] I love to stare blankly at the bitter gourd in my garden admiring them day and night. Soon before I knew it, the gourd turn from green to yellowish. I heaved with a big sigh. It has not even grown to adult size yet! Looks like my finger is not so green after all. *sigh…. […]
