So i changed to use Nippon Odourlite Soft Matt Finish, which is easier to apply and rain & fungus resistant, also save me on acrylic as top layer.miruku https://www.blogger.com/profile/01786900237495687254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977963402204848415.post-68153625623162186002011-04-19T01:13:38.873+08:002011-04-19T01:13:38.873+08:00milka

She did asked what paint you used. I said, probably gloss paint la. Right?<br /><br />Food so delicious!<br />I always look for the best angle that hide away anything awful for a photo... haha. Joke aside, these keladi are fine, one and a half feet apart. The rule of thumb is wait til they produce 3 babies. When babies mature, harvest the whole lot.<br /><br />Malay-Kadazan girl<br />Neighbours may think I am nut or something, putting keladi as hedge. I am now thinking what to put as keladi companion. Low vegetable, a little bit colourful, probably tricolour spinach suits there.<br /><br />Cheers.<br />~bangchik and kakdahBangchik and Kakdahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12539360678677230463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977963402204848415.post-71545455106691138722011-04-19T00:59:01.603+08:002011-04-19T00:59:01.603+08:00Malar

They look like hedge, these 19 keladi.<br /><br />Wendy<br />Edible taro, yes. I bought them months ago, Kakdah cooked some, and the rest more or less forgotten at the corner. When they start to produce roots and shoots, I put them where they are now....<br /><br />TheFusionTea <br />They look alright in a row like that. Bonus point is they are edible.
