Methi harvest and apples

I harvested the methi leaves yesterday and made Methi Pulav.



Methi Pulav, Brussel Sprouts and Raita :)




I bought the Golden Dorsett Apple tree at the end of Jan 2010 as bare root. It was on sale at Home Depot for $8.50. It started sprouting leaves in Spring and started blossoming in October. It had set lots of apples at the end of fall. Being a small tree I do not know whether to remove the small apples to let the tree grow further because all the tree's energy will be spent on apples now. I would rather have the tree grow bigger and establish itself and then have apples. Anyway I will do more research on this topic.


How cute are these tiny apples?

More Amaryllis and Methi

There was non-stop rain in Southern CA for 6 days last week which is very unusual. It was referred as the storm of the decade. I was worried about my Amaryllis bulbs because if they sit in too much water, they will rot. So far out of 10 bulbs, 5 have sprouted. Hoping that the rest will grow soon.

My methi plants are growing well, I will be harvesting soon.



'Neon Rose' Amaryllis: This is in a pot.










Exotic Star Amaryllis: This one is in the ground, I wanted to experiment how it fares in the ground.
