Farmer's Market at Spectra

Today I went to the Farmer's Market at Spectra (Woodlands). They sold a variety of produce such as local Chye Sim, Sweet potatoes, Corn and Japanese Kai Lan.  They were very welcoming (I was offered a mildly sweet Rosella drink from their garden) and one of the students was my guide. She showed me around the plots of vegetables and plants, explaining to me its uses and characteristics.  I was fascinated by the Snake Gourd, which was super long and the Melons which were huge too. They also have a self irrigation system and a rainwater collecting system. They use leftover leaves and stem for compost and fertilizer. Maybe we would try that for our garden! They have a variety of climbing plants such as Bitter Gourd, Passion Fruit and Melon. They also have Cherry Tomatoes, Pandan, Sugarcane, Kale, Long Beans, Tapioca and many other edible plants.   Cucumber   Long Beans  Melon Passion Fruit Bitter Gourd   Tomatoes ...
