At other times, you can get them at flower shows such as Floria or MAHA 2016 (now ongoing from 1-11 Dec) or any local nurseries specialising in herb and fruit plants. Can try asking Lot 61 at Selangor Green Lane. During flower shows, nurseries from other states of Malaysia also come here to sell.

If you look around the places where they sell seeds, you find that the common ones are okra, long beans, kangkong (water spinach/water convolvulus), choy sum and sunflowers. These are quite easy to grow. Whether you be successful also depends on the soil of your plot. Sunflowers are rewarding because kids can see the seeds sprout into live plants, then into a beautiful flower that follows the direction of the sun, thereafter produce many seeds which can be collected for future sowing, also will attract birds and butterflies. Good luck and hope to hear from you soon!Autumn Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-76216552069510115942012-01-07T22:07:43.618+08:002012-01-07T22:07:43.618+08:00Hi, I'm new to Malaysia and work at a school w...Hi, I'm new to Malaysia and work at a school where we are fortunate enough to have a large garden area.. I don't know the soil, or what grows well here. I love gardening, and have a wonderful tomato and flower garden at home. But I was wondering if you have any suggestions on what would grow well here, in the shade.. We tried Bok choy but no luck. I work with 3 and 4 year olds and I was hoping for maybe some kind of vegetable or herb. <br />Thank you and hope to hear from you.<br /><br />Green eyesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-61668261549976199622011-02-21T20:59:14.711+08:002011-02-21T20:59:14.711+08:00A lovely post with such marvelous pictures...sort ...A lovely post with such marvelous pictures...sort of pop-up from the screen.

A long time ago, I had the same experience when I purchase a cheap plant (RM 20.00) from a home centre. The plant died about 1 month after CNY despite all the tender loving care I gave. <br />I guess the plant was overworked and over-sprayed with chemicals.<br /><br />I have learnt my lesson that quality also comes with a price. The key is to choose a healthy plant. That's why I go back to the same supplier every year.<br /><br />If you get a good one, it can last many years. The fruits can be eaten after a few rounds of flowering. Every year I buy 1 or 2 citrus trees to brighten up my garden. After the season, I plant them like any normal garden plant. They are easy to care for as they are indigenous to Southeast Asia. Some are as old as 6 years and I convert 1 or 2 to bonsai. I will only throw them away if they die back. Calamansi can live on for many years.Autumn Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-36627357581410362992011-01-22T07:38:45.165+08:002011-01-22T07:38:45.165+08:00Donna, the calamondin and lime are native plants h...Donna, the calamondin and lime are native plants here, so it is easy to grow them.<br /><br />Ami, maybe you can find calamondin at the Asian stores.
