New plants again

                         costus spiralis, rosemary and thyme


Last Saturday i bought the new thyme and different type of rosemary and the back tall plant named costus spiralis,with 2 RM5 pots, all total RM 45.In a sudden, i got a plan for putting my plants on suitable rack,that's mean i am going to do the wooden rack again.......but this time i will buy wooden sticks rather than plank wood because it is cheaper,so i have to nail myself and buy some pots for stacking up on it.
