A talk about growing truffles at home has piqued the interest of Singaporeans:

But what is more amazing is the variety of fresh fruits that Singaporeans have been growing over the past few years.

These include strawberries, grapes, watermelon and avocado, many of which are grown in HDB flat dwellings.

These sorts of high-rise urban farming are literally taking things to the next level.

Here is the photographic proof of the types of fruits Singaporeans have been growing in impossible weather conditions:

The amazing part is that he managed to grow the grapes in tropical humid Singapore climate all year round.

The trick, he maintains, is to provide copious amounts of water for the plant by watering it two to three times a day.
