Cape Gooseberry golden nugget




This gooseberry plants are grown from seeds which i bought from Diana. Despite being very healthy and bearing so many fruit, so far i haven't taste it. There are so many whitish pests sucking the sap out of the stem and fruit. I usually kill it by pinching  since their body are soft, but lately the infestation is so severe. So yesterday i kill it with pesticide as a last resort.


seedling stage


2 weeks old

    1. ambil masa lebih kurang seminggu untuk bercambah. Saya menyemai semua biji benih guna tanah jenama AAA, saya dapati jenama lain terlalu berasid, benih tidak bercambah. Untuk asparagus saya guna tanah jenama bagus.
