The weather here has been very wet. It has been raining everyday. And on certain days, it even rained a few times a day. And sometimes, ALL DAY! And the rain has brought out the snails in full force. The picture below is a day's worth of catch.

| Escargot, anyone? |
 |
| Giant snail on okra plant |
 |
| As if the vegetables weren't enough, this one decided to 'chomp' on the broom as well! |
 |
| This tomato plant contracted fungus and died as a result of it. I managed to harvest all of the tomatoes before the plant died. |

| One of the tomatoes |
 |
| A deformed okra |
 |
| An infestation of aphids and cottony cushion scale (Icerya purchasi) on an okra leaf |
 |
| The transparent tiny spheres are the spider mite eggs |
The damp and wet weather caused powdery mildew to infect the okra leaves too.

| 2nd Harvest of Kangkung |
 |
| A perfect mini capsicum |
 |
| Some okras and cherry tomatoes |
 |
| Siu Pak Choy |
 |
| Nai Pak, some okras and cherry tomatoes |
 |
| The okras and cherry tomatoes |
 |
| Radish in a pot! |
 |
| Radishes and SNAIL in a pot! |
 |
| A new pot of capsicum seedlings. I have another 3 more pots of capsicum seedlings. |
 |
| New cherry tomato tree. I have another four new trees growing. |
And I left this tray of red spinach to bolt as I wanted the seeds. By doing this, I do not need to buy seeds.
What a wonderful haul of vegetables and what enormous snails...they must do a huge amount of damage! I've recently discovered that if I drop them into soapy water it quickly kills them.
