Vegetable Farm - Hangars

What are these? These are also vegetable farms. But they are the more modern compared to yesterday's. Don't they look like aeroplane hangars?

Each "hanger" has 1 type of vegetable planted in them. If they are popular vegetables, they are planted in more of them. (what am i talking about, am just stating the obvious. haha)

Ruta - Cao Cao

The name of the plant is Ruta. We call it "Cao Cao" in Hokkien.

This plant brings fond memories because my grandma used to plant them at home before she moved home to heaven above. It is one of her multipurpose herb, I remember her having them soak in wine, so it can be used as ointment.

My sis would definitely know what it is used for. Granny used to prepare a cure for a problem she had when she was young ;-)

Chinese Mugwort

This vegetable looks prickly doesn't it? It's called Chinese Mugwort. Another vegetable in the "from the farm" series these few days.

Winter Melon

Look how interesting they are. Winter Melon or in Chinese they call it "Dong Qua". If you like the "dong qua cha" can drinks, they are made of these.

More Vegetables..

The same farm also has Spinach. Yeah, the veg that Popeye eats.

Vegetable Farm

Do you know that Singapore has vegetable farms too? I visited one some time last year. This is radish. The farm is in Lim Chu Kang.

Most of the green leafy vegetables however does come from Malaysia and Indonesia.
