Love gardenias!<br /><br />Your marigolds are really tall! What a pretty sight with orange and yellow flowers together.<br /><br />Your basils are always really nicely and good selection. I still remember your chicken basil recipe!

I wish there are more blooms and their fragrance permeates through my whole garden. I also have a pot of chempaka that I transferred to the field across my old house when I moved. It also didn't bloom under my care. <br /><br />Hi Helen, don't give up on growing Thai Basil. I have tried several times before being successful. My earlier Basil plants were always attacked by pest (black and tiny in size). Now I learnt how to overcome this pest by using garlic, chilli and dish detergent mixed with water and spray on this pest. They stop visiting my basil and they are flourishing well now.<br /><br />Hi delcasmx, thanks for the tips. I will try out the banana skin. Is it the potassium in the banana skin that make the gardenia blooms? I will also give some coffee grounds to it.<br /><br />Hi Milka, Hahaha...I am curious to find out how tall is my Marigold and thus the measurement tape.J.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10904882913688765735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-173433339346568152.post-36178668059169527332010-09-26T17:25:51.531+08:002010-09-26T17:25:51.531+08:00Haha you used a measuring tape to measure your Mar...Haha you used a measuring tape to measure your Marigold so funny haha.
