Radish
The bulge almost hidden.
I have been waiting for this, to actually see with my own eyes, Radish roots taking the new shape. It was only a couple of weeks ago that I did a post on Radish. Is this radish? on February 6, 2010 and then followed by How's radish from Sweden? on February 23, 2010. How quick these radishes grow.. Now they are taking the new shape well, rounding themselves into nice red bulge. It was really red a few days ago but with the current hot spell, the red is turning dull a little bit and the skin is wrinkling...
Yesterday Kakdah showed the plants to the neighbour, Noor,. Then there were ah and uh, as both were expressing their surprise and delight on seeing new plants, not normally grown in this part of the world. I was busy watering the many plants in the garden then, but I did see Kakdah cut two deep purple eggplants and gave them to Noor as parting gesture. I am sure she will do the same with radishes. We can only consume so much, and beyond it, is excess...
Both of us were discussing about Radishes. We are going to pull them out
on Wednesday for a special menu!!... I am sure Gittan will be glad to see seeds from Sweden turn to red bulge and end up on dinner plates..
Thanks Gittan...

Malaysia: Hot and dry weather update
The hot and dry weather in Malaysia is expected to persist until April, the Meteorological Department said. The phenomenon, which is caused by the El-Nino in central Pacific Ocean, is expected to ease gradually from May.
The department said in a statement Tuesday that during the inter-monsoon season in April, the rainfall in the peninsula and in northern Sarawak would gradually return to normal.
The weather in Sabah is expected to return to normal in May.
The department said Malaysia was now in the final phase of the northeast monsoon, hence the warmer and drier weather, with temperature of between 34 and 36 degrees Celsius.
The sun's movement, which passes directly over the Equator also contributed to the hot and dry condition and this was compounded further by the El-Nino phenomenon in the central Pacific Ocean and the lack of rain in the country. . Bernama
