Kuan Chee Choun has not bought vegetables from the market or grocery store for over a year. That’s because he can’t finish consuming the many vegetables that thrive in his garden.

At present, over 80 types of vegetables, fruits and herbs grow in the front and back gardens of his double-storey terrace house in Ara Damansara, Petaling Jaya, Selangor.
