Kaffir Lime

I bought this small Kaffir Lime plant from a nursery. It was grafted but a very tiny plant. I guess, I should have been focusing on strengthening the roots and plant for a couple of years before letting it to bloom and set fruit, but the cuteness of the blooms and small bumps of the fruit melted my heart and I gave in to it.  And here's the first fruit! :-)

New updates from my rooftop garden

My rooftop garden has gotten bigger in size as the 50 something tomato seedlings survived after being repotted and I've added a mango tree, several flowers and a citrus tree, as well as 3 pineapple crowns which I replanted from the scraps and some ginger, turmeric, galanggal, garlic, onion, and bell pepper. 

Btw, I am so happy to see my tomato seedlings are not only surviving but also growing and branching, though they are not growing into the same size. Some are growing quite fast, but some are slow. I also have given 3 seedlings to my brother's employee for adoption and have also promised to give several others to my tuition student. I am happy if they can thrive and bear fruit in the hands of their new owners. 

These 3 seedlings are bell-peppers from the seed I dried myself. Btw, I'm a little perpelexed to see these orange bell-peppers turned out to be different in forms. Maybe it has accidentally mixed with other seeds. 

Garlic started to sprout

The Citrus Tree which I bought from the market

This is the watermelon radish I replanted from the scraps.

The Cilantro I replanted from the scraps started to grow but then were deterorating and several plants eventually died of rotting roots. Probably the cause was soggy soil because it's been raining a lot lately. I should have planted them indoor though...

I planted some ginger heads from the scraps and the young shoot of this one has grown.

Can anyone of you recognize this seedling? Is it really an orange bell pepper?

New Additionals in My Rooftop Patio Garden

My rooftop patio garden got some additionals. I bought them from a vendor last saturday at the market. As you can see, they enliven my garden! And the other day I noticed that they have started to attract some insects.

DIY Multi-purpose Cleaner

On last October 15th, I harvested a pint of DIY citrus multi-purpose cleaner. And I have tried it for mopping the floor. I mixed the citrus vinegar with water with 50:50 proportion. And for a small bucket of water I add about 5-6 caps of the cleaner (the cap is the size of a mineral water's lid). I could still smell the vinegar's tangy stench but with fresh orange scent overtone. The floor is very clean and smell good, comercial cleaner is absolutely beaten but I got one lesson: Make sure to clean/wash the mopper after mopping! Getting ready to harvest another pint and produce more!
