Green Thumbs

Remeber the £1.75-for-10lb onions? Well, some of them are sprouting in their sack. So, I got them out, and did a bit of gardening in a jungle that is my backyard. (Hello!!! Mr landlord, when are you coming to cut the grass?)

My thumbs are not as green as my late grandma's. I remember her patch of vegetable plot in Kem Terendak Melaka. One of her bestseller -yes, she did sell the vegetables - was brinjal. My sister and I used to imitate an indian girl coming to the house and asking for 'terung' in her Indian accent.

My own patch of onion is a lowly tribute to grandma. May she reap bountiful rewards for the kindness that she sowed.
