My Spice Garden

Good morning!

Today I am officially a housewife. Or a full-time blogger… you name it! Haha! Well as a homemaker, I just have to have an edible garden don’t I?


Here is a small section in my garden where Azman organized some herbs and vegetables on our rabbit’s outgrown cage. I think it looks so greeny glorious. Look closely, you’ll see spinach (bayam), kangkung (but recently harvested so very puny), cili padi, mint (pudina), basil, lemon grass (serai), rosemary and in the white pot is baby dill plants.

Those dill were grown from seeds taken from the remaining of an adult plant we use to have. It succumbed to the buck teeth of escaped rabbits but Azman managed to salvage some seeds and grow them. haha…

In fact can you see Itam the Bunny at the background looking at the camera? Cute he is but very nasty kalau terlepas habis semua plants.

My kunyit, halia, bunga kantan (yet to bloom), daun kari etc etc are planted on the ground. I am very passionate about my garden, plants and flowers… Urban Gardener la konon… haha…

Have a nice day people!

    why dont go to the nursery and buy a pot of young basil… or rosemary… or any herbs that you like.. these herbs are easier to grow compared to flower plants.
    Just bring it back and water it daily… soon you’ll realize that the plant has grown bigger than it was when you bought it…
    You’d feel very happy because it grew after YOU cared for it! You will feel very satisfied and soon you would wanna grow more! πŸ™‚
    I started with a small pot of rosemary in July 10… now I have huge garden of edibles and flowers… come to my house, i take you on a tour…

  12. Hi diyana,
    I jumpe ur blog when looking for reasons why rosemary i mcm nak mati when everyone else in malaysia bahagia tanam rosemary. Anyway, i nak mintak some tips, how did you jaga your rosemary ye? Water daily ke? Baja apa u pakai? And exposure to sun pulak mcm mana? I letak under shades takut matahari dkt malaysia ni garang sangat. Your help is much appreciated. Thanks!

  13. hi emma,
    thanks for reading this blog. i keep the rosemary under 80% sunlight, siram daily, baja organic.. πŸ™‚ sure hidup punya sbb sangat senang tanam rosemary, in fact I dah biakkan lagi 2-3 pokok.. good luck!

  14. Tahniah. Garden you sangat pesonakan. Baja organic boleh ak gunakan baja ayam untuk pokok kesum, pudina, rosemary, thymes?
