I went to many places on the 14 September 2008. The final stop was at a vegetables farm just beside the Sungei Buloh Nature Reserve. It is an aeroponics farm. It means that they grow their vegeatables plants in an air or mist environment. The plants are not even grown in water (hydroponics). Can you see the roots of the plant hanging in the 'air'? Anyone of you know the name of the plant??
There are so many plants there and I don't even know their names. I know that they are edible, but I do not know how to cook them. Enjoy the photos...
An unripe strawberry...
A corn (maize) plant...
A papaya tree...
A stool?? That was what I thought at first. But I was wondering why was the stoll place right in the middle of nowhere. Upon a closer look, I realised...
It was a pumpkim...
A starfruit plant...
A cotton plant... That's the fruit. When it opens up, you can see the cotton inside. (Sorry, forgot to take the photo of the cotton inside. My son was busy plucking out the cotton and I was trying to stop him.)
A toad?? I saw a group of children crowding around it and so I went to take photographs of it too...
A ginger plant... The ginger is underground...
A Indian Cherry plant...
A grasshopper... Can you see it?
A pineapple plant...
The watermelon flower... (so sorry, it's not very clear)
There are many species of gourds... I'm sorry... I am not familiar with them. Let me know their names if you know them. They were hanging there, looking fat and juicy...
I must go to the vegetables farm again to learn more about these plants. The next thing is to learn to cook them... See ya!
