Roselle is the first to be in the little vegetable garden plot. The seedlings were brought from Tanah Merah. I managed to squeezed in 11, with one left as spare just in case any one failed.... Roselle is not so fussy about soil. We have enough experience over roselle in Putrajaya and Tanah Merah. We did notice about red bugs as angels of death, swarming over roselle towards the end of their healthy lives in Putrajaya and Tanah Merah... Lets see if red bugs around here can smell the eleven plants growing at the back of our house.

Work on six rows of vegetable bed is still in progress. I can't wait until all is ready, therefore 11 roselle plants were planted as early quickwin. I guess to keep enthusiasm going there should be adequate number of quickwins spread along the journey. Applicable to gardening or any long term projects.
Definitely 11 roselle is the biggest so far, compared to 7 in Tanah Merah and 5 in Putrajaya. With 6 rows of vegetable bed, we can make sure that roselle remain as permanent feature, rotating from one row to another over the many years.
A sure promise of juice and jam within two months..

Your new Roselle is looking very good! It must have almost a 100 percent germination rate. Hope no red bugs! A lot of responsibility to prepare occasions for his HRH...I look forward to hearing more about the preparations and the occasion itself!
ReplyDeleteThey look good in a row! Roselle is something a must in my garden too!
ReplyDeleteDo you have a plan to open "Roselle Jam and Juice" speciality shop? ;)
Oh you are really so diligent Bangchik! I still haven't seen any roselle in nurseries here in the country, i wonder why!

- far indeed, from north to south. I should have rented a boat and travel across South China Sea to Selat Tebrau. That would be more dramatic!

- they are alright for now... no problem except for grasshoppers taking particular interest on roselle leaves..
I am fascinated with growing Roselle! I am sometimes able to buy the dried buds here in ethnic markets, (called sorrell here) but my attempt at growing last year was OK. I am just wondering where I can get seed again!
ReplyDeleteLooking good! You'll be enjoying infusions soon.
ReplyDeleteMy inlaws are growing these in their plot & the berries are now turning red. Hehe, can't wait to try out the recipe from your previous post on juice & jam making soon. :D
