My Other Garden

Before I committed myself to constructing my aquaponics system, I had started planting several plants in soil. I call this, my other garden...

This is my other garden which consists of potted plants like tomato, long beans, four angled bean, turmeric, pandan, okra, lettuce, and some decorative plants 

These are the okra plants...tomato to the left and four angled bean climbing the fence towards the right

I had three tomato seedlings but after some times I kept only one...it is only beginning to fruit. What variety is it? I have no idea, I bought the famous Serbajadi (english: successful each time) seed packet.

 Okra is under attack of these black bugs...Any idea what they are and ways to eliminate them?

 Heres another view of the bugs...

 Turmeric...no household in Malaysia is complete without it

 Pandan leaves, a flavor and scent it provides make them very popular in Malaysian cuisine and pastry

 The okras are beginning to fruit too!

 Here is another view

 I planted this lettuce before I constructed the aquaponic system

 These two long beans are drying up, I want the seeds from this batch to keep!

 Some of the long beans are quite huge, like the one in this photo. About as thick as my pinkie!

The dwarf long bean plant in the square pot. Doesnt climb like other conventional variety, less mess to deal with...

When Im done with some of the plants in the long pots, Im gonna start on some asparagus...they take years to grow from what Ive read on the internet so Im dedicating a pot just for them...

Thanks for reading!
