Sketch#2 Of Getting Started

My first sketch for this year.

Getting to a new place takes all of our adapting skills and tolerance to a maximum. Not to forget, patience too. I know I would love to have my herbs garden so so soon, but getting it step by step is more enjoyable I think. Here's my simple porch garden. The first two trees my husband and I planted together. The kaffir lime tree: because I love tomyam, paprik, steam fish and everything that needs kaffir lime leaves. The lime tree: because husband likes teh limau so much.

And I guess I might sharing this in Emila's Sketchy Sunday. I've been visiting her blog since my university years several years ago, but knowing that I am shy, I've just been her silent fan =) 

Of The First Tree Towards My Herbs Garden

Kaffir Lime

I dream of having my own herbs garden. Lemongrass, kaffir lime, curry leaves, bunga kantan, bird-eye chillies, vietnamese mint, mint, kacang botol, pandan, spring onion, thyme, oregano, parsley. Tomato is not a bad idea too. 

First is kaffir lime and lime. But the lime tree is so skinny, it refuses to grow new leaves. I don't know why, since I feed them the same water and the same fertilizer. 

When we planted these trees, there was a drama. It was nearing dusk, and he wanted to do it fast. Ah, I hate remembering it.
