Repotting Mango Tree

After the first fruiting success, I repotted this mango 'Arum Manis' plant into a much bigger pot end of last October. 

It needs more space and energy to grow.

Just within the first couple of weeks, it started to send new shoots.

In our tropical weather, normally mango tree produces fruit twice a year. Thus, I'm waiting in anticipation to new fruting season. I'm not really sure when, maybe around december.

Bougenville

My mother is an avid fan of Bougenville or commonly called here as paper flowers. She had asked me several times to add this plant to my rooftop container garden, though she can't climb upstairs to enjoy their beauty any longer but the thought of it has already amused her. 

 So, I've been adding several varieties of it to my rooftop garden and it has so far adding more colors to it.

What's growing now

These are some of the vegetables growing in my gardern right now.

Borlotti & Tongue of Fire Beans

I haven't been succeeded with Borlotti or Tongue of Fire Beans. I germinated Borlotti beans around January and repotted it in February. We were still having drought and high temperature as the effect of the volcano eruption nearby (about 88 km away). So, I tried to water my plants a couple of times a day. This I suspected as one of the causes beside the extreme temperature that could reach 37-38 degree Celcius. It had grown healthily at first and started to set fruit but soon I noticed that the base stem were turning brown and dried, which is the symptoms of Fusarium wilt. This condition disrupted the flow of water and nutrition from the roots to the plant, and eventually caused death. I had to pull it out and grieved for the bean pods that turning yellow ― of those I had never had the chance to harvest...

In March I planted Tongue of Fire Beans and the same problem happened. Well, I bought the seeds from a US-bassed seed seller, I suspected they are not suitable for planting in tropical weather with its high temperature and humidity.

How about you? Do you have any experience planting them in tropical weather? How's it going?

What A Beautiful Life

Hello  Everyone, I hope you had a good weekend! As for me, I just finished a moderate-size translation project last week, and that means I can post some pictures from my garden I've been wanting to for sometime. And I hope that they'll brighten your day! :-)
