Yahoo Singapore put out an amazing photo story on May 8, 2015, with images culled from the Facebook album of Alex Ng, a 42-year-old baker, showing how he managed to grow grapes outside his ninth-floor HDB flat in Yishun.

The amazing part is that he has 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.

From Yahoo:

The plant grows in a pot and creeps along bamboo poles 2m long and 2m tall. The corridor does not get direct sunlight except for the evening sun "a few months a year", Ng told Yahoo Singapore. His biggest harvest since he started growing the plant in 2011 is a collection of "17 bunches of various sizes", and he also keeps several seedlings, and a secondary plant which he grew using a stem cutting from the plant."

If you think growing grapes is impossible, you need to get a load of this: It looks like Singapore has plenty of other high-rise gardeners growing equally amazing fruits from the comforts of their home in our country's impossible weather conditions.
