My second attempt in growing xiao bai cai at home succeeded. The first round was not very successful as these vegetables need plenty of sunlight and water. They must be grown in a brightly lighted place preferably with sun shining directly at them. They need a lot of water also. I grew 2 pots of these over a period of about 2 months. There is a sense of satisfaction when you harvest them. Unfortunately, my 2 pots of vegetables only yielded a small plate of fried vegetables. It is only then, that you realise how much time and effort it is needed to grow vegetables that we pick up effortlessly from the supermarket everyday and how much we take for granted the efforts of the farmers that grow these vegetables for our consumption.

African Violets
I have recently acquired a new hobby due to the influence of my new neighbour. I recently bought 3 pots of African Violets and this one is my favourite. I have attempted to reproduce it through leaf cutting but so far nothing has popped out from the leaf cuttings that I have planted. It really needs patience.
African Violets are indoor plants. They flourish if placed near the window in an office environment where there is air condition.
I am looking forward for the babies to appear from the leaf cuttings that I have planted.
