Gardenia Cutting
While I'm visiting my brother in law, their gardenia plants full of big awesome blossom, smelling so damn good..... really make me jeaulous ! I have gardenia plant also, I bough last March and so far she's doing good, right now have alot buds and will blomming soon, but they flowers smaller... and even I still love my gardenia, I want have their gardenia plant too...
She's beautiful plant, isn't she ? :0)

Sound greedy huh ? :0) But even I want that plant, for sure, they will not give it to me :-D.
So I asked for only 1 twig with 1 flower on it, about 10" and I keep it fresh until I'm home. After back home, almost midnight but I need to do it soon, yeah... I'm want try to rooting it !
I cut the twig by 3, removed the flower and leaves from the lower one, dipping on rooting hormone and insert the cutting in moist and well drain soil. Maintain high humidity by covering the pot with a bottomless softdrink jug or by placing the pot into a clear plastic bag .
1 of 4 stem has rooting at all nodes, strange huh?
After about 2 weeks later, it's start rooting.... Whooho...! Now I have 3 more Gardenia plants... all of them still so tiny, will take times until they flowering...
Soybean aka Edamame, Good or Bad ?
It's feel very good while I saw my vegetable plants very healthy, cooking with eggplant, tomato, chilli, lemon basil, sweet basil, rosemary and green onion, fresh from my garden !
But recently I read an article online about soybean dark side, I don't know it's true or not, (hope not !) they said that soybean can damage your health, because soybean also contains ;
Hot Chilli
Next year, be sure, I'll planting more vegetable, like zucchini and soybean, edamame (young soybeans) a yummy snack, have a good nutrients, contain all three of the macro-nutrients required for good nutrition: complete protein, carbohydrate and fat, as well as vitamins and minerals, including calcium, folic acid and iron..
I'm growing up drinking homemade soymilk and eating tempeh and tofu made by local almost daily and all my big family didn't have any side effect from soybean..

~ Goitrogens, substances that depress thyroid function.
~ Haemagglutinin, a clot-promoting substance that causes red blood cells to clump together.
~ Large quantities of natural toxins or "anti nutrients".
~ etc... etc... etc..........
More you read it, make you scare to eat soybean, even you love to eat it !
The good news is, it's okay eat soybean if not too much or for your daily food.
Since 2 years ago, I stop drinking soymilk from the store, just because I'm not sure where they soybean come from.. I'm switch to almond milk with non GMO almond on their ingredients label...
Sometimes I'm still make my home made soymilk with organic soybean, it is very easy to make and always taste better than store brought..
