We built another framework and this time we have a bigger shaded area for the growing plants. All the okra seeds sprouted... there must be more than fifty seedlings in total in the pot. In the end we transplanted 9 of them to the ground. Besides the okra, we planted 4 roselle seedlings and a curry leaf plant.
In total, we now have :
a. Banana trees - 2nos
b. Hawaiian coconut - 1no
c. Serai masak (several)
d. Serai Wangi (several)
e. Pandan - 3nos (still alive!)
f. Okra - 9nos
g. Roselle - 4nos
h. Sweet potato leaves - (several)
i. Groundnuts - 3nos
Coming soon - Chillies, eggplants, loofah, cucumber, spring onions and even tomatoes, since we now have a sizeable shaded area.
As we have been watering the land, the weeds are also happily growing, so we must continuously get rid of the weeds. Thankfully, we can tell the weeds apart from what we are planting!
Can't wait for the coming Saturday, to continue with our work...

| Preparing a level platform for the water tank |
 |
| Adding rocks beneath the platform |
 |
| Sticks and stones will not break my bones, but will help support a load |
 |
| Almost ready! |

| Breaking the clumpy soil |

| Watering the okra seedlings |

| While one digs, the other fills, so it's an unending job |
