SLUG!

Since we started having our vertical and herbs garden, snails and slugs have been a common visitor to our house. My landscape architect friend said it is a sign that I have developed a balanced ecosystem in my garden. Later, I should expect to have more ants, grasshoppers, butterflies and birds. Wow.

My kids love the snails and slugs but I cant stand looking at the slug. Geli ok. Lembik. Ada dua telinga lembik..euuw.. Recently I found one of them at our living room. These are the kids' artwork (and *cough* mynotetomyhusband *cough*) to mark the day the slug came into our house. lol.

My landscape architect friend's advise:

1.  Burn the soil before I use it since I bought a pre-mix soil with organic fertilizer. It might contains their eggs.

2.   Blend some garlics and a bit of water. Strain the water and spray it to our plants. To keep them off our plants. I think I need to spray my house with that too. lol.

Herbs

I have attended a meeting at PWTC and to my surprise, there was an expo on herbs and herb-related products at the ground floor. I guess this is what they called the Law of Attraction. I started to love gardening and herbs, and everywhere I go, there will be something related to gardening. 

I bought this precious book and two packets of lemongrass. Then, I received a free soil mix.

Post 1M4U : Herbs!

I dont know when does it started but right now I am crazy about edible garden. (No, I am not alone. My husband is as crazy as I am right now..syyy...)

I bought these precious herb plants at the 1M4U event.

I bought rosemary, basil, oregano, daun sup (what it is called in English? - pls leave a comment), turmeric plant and pandanus. I also got a few local herb plants for free from the committee - halia bara, tongkat ali and limau purut. The other one is called sabung nyawa, I think. I dont know what it is used for but the plant is beautiful so I took it home.
