compost day

Harvesting and moving around the compost. Surely have back pain after but the rewards are really nice to see.

froggie always gives me a scare

 This little guy often gives me a fright, springing out of one of the boxes as I am tending to the plants. I think it's a helper, not a pest.

Snail invasion

 Caught one in the morning munching on my kale. 

Came back at night to see if there were any on my plants. This was the haul...

They have been feasting on my sayur manis and kale...

The following night haul... 

The big monster mama too.

Them in action... 

Veggie for today

 Lunch and dinner veggies... moringa leaves from our tree and brinjal from neighbour.

lean on me

 Sort of propped up the leaning banana tree...

Not the best but it will do for now.

Banana tree leaning angle problem

Banana #6 fruit have appeared. The weight normally makes the tree lean to one side. So far the lean has mostly been away from the closest wall or fence, so we have tied it quite easily to the opposing structure. This arrests the increasing lean due to the increasing weight of the fruit. 

Btw those planks on the ground are just to prevent the dog digging up that area. 

With this tree's position its impossible to tie to the nearest structures coz the angle is not opposing the anchor posts.So we will have to go about the harder approach of wedging some strong wood. It will hurt the tree a bit but no choice.
