Busy month



It’s been a month since i last blogging. As usual time is my biggest constrain. My newly built house is supposed to be finished in March 2014. I planned to finish doing the landscaping on the side where the house is situated within next 2 months. I fence the land and divided it into 2 plots, one plot is for my house and one plot is for my fruit orchard and my brother’s nursery.

These photos were taken 6 weeks ago while the fence is still under construction.

 Last one month during the weekend i was busy planting fruit tree since it is a raining season (less work since i do not have to water my newly planted fruit tree).  So far i managed to plant 4  musang king durian plants, 4 types of mango plant (harum manis, lemak manis, 2 unknown species which the fruit taste so good.), 2 kuinin and many more. I also managed to plant 600 pineapples plant around the fence perimeter,over the whole perimeter (850 feet). Between a 9-5 job, a 2 months old niece whose mother left in my care until she is well enough to care for her herself and weekend part time farmer i’m just too tired  to switch on the computer. Anyway i managed to capture many flower in my garden which are blooming.

Weekend gardener



Lately I’ve been very busy; i only managed to do gardening work between 1-2 hr on the weekend. Since last 2 weekends i managed to transplant few rooted figs cutting into polybag and pot. I notice that fig growing faster after i transplanted it.  This weekend i transplant a few more and took out a few rooted cutting from underneath the plastic cover for hardening before i transplant it next weekend.

Early Russian sunflower


I always love sunflower, this is one of my favourite sunflower especially after it is just started blooming.After a tiring day at work i just need to see the cheerful face of sunflower to rejuvenate. The contrast between the green centre and semi double bright orange petal is simply stunning. The petal is like the tongue of fire from the sun.
