Chayote 佛手瓜

Chayote, also known as choko or 佛手瓜, I did try to grow Chayote in container but there are no fruits bearing in a year time, it just growing plenty of leaves...I am not sure if it can grow well in Singapore climate. Has anyone grown the chayote before? 




Here’s what Chayote fruit looks like, my friend grow it in her back yard garden in LA. My friend told me that Chayote shoots also known as 龍鬚菜 in Chinese, Just simple stir fry with oil, chopped garlic and seasoning with salt,  Simply yummy!
Too bad I didn't know earlier...Chayote grows as a rambling vine, I was growing my Chayote in container last year, a big pot of chayote with a lot of young shoots growing every day, didn't know it is such a nice vegetable. 

I want to grow again this year for sure...

One evening walk in Sengkang Riverside Park

 



...Photos taken some time back in 2011, only have time to pull our from my photos gallery, something nice, this heart shape leaves, which I think I would like to find out what is it one day in future.


 

...a big monitor lizard, yeah I never posted up any animal image in this blog, just thought they are not related to plants, but I like this monitor lizard, it had such a great time here, make the nature so wonderful.

Unknown to me

No matter how busy in work, a walk around the garden or park in the afternoon is always my pleasure, it gives me a sense of peace and clarify my cluttering thoughts.

As normal, today I found this lovely red color new leaves …I am not sure what is the tree called, the red against the green and silver is beautiful. I share this with Ruby Tuesday blog friends.
