Last week's weather became wintry. Finally we had a few days of intermittent downpours. The winds were strong at times and suddenly quietened down with sunshine breaking out of the clouds. Then everything started all over again. Temperatures have been sometimes lower than 20 and sometimes a bit higher.
This week started really hot and windy. Temperatures up to 35 deg. Then it became cooler but still no sight of a much-needed rain. My poor plants, I wonder how they cope with the ever-changing weather and temperatures. They must be a bit confused.

| Our dear Mr Spotted Neck (wildlife) up on my neighbour's roof still looking for a mate. My hubby bought me a digital SLR camera for my birthday so now, I can take sharper and better pictures. |
 |
| My two silvery fir plants produced so many tomatoes. I actually have not finished the frozen ones from last season. |
 |
| We now have a flight of sparrows visiting as well and so far they are the tamest birds we had. Mr Spotted Neck sometimes bullied them but when food is abundant, they can share a meal together. |
 |
| To my surprise while tidying up the carrot foliage, I found a small ginger plant growing. I have planted some ginger slips last year but only one grew (the one in front). However, another slip survived the winter and it has sprouted. Wow, I am so inspired to try sweet potatos asap! |
 |
| Five cucumber (burpless) vines this year hooray! A little crowded though. The leader vine is having a maturing cucumber plus 3-4 more growing! |
 |
| More pak choy green thriving under the netting along with the tomato silvery fir. |
 |
| Lots of green chillies on my chilli fire. |
 |
| I am so proud to announce that Mr Spotted Neck has found a mate!!! My son and I actually felt sorry for him cooing every day for a mate and we, hehe...prayed for him. Recently we noticed him courting a lady in our garden but kept getting rejected. These few days, we saw both of them in the garden together. This morning we saw them feeding together! Finally! Congratulations! Bird-watching is really fun! |
