Fragrant roses beckon me to the garden.....
Haruman mawar di taman menggamit ku turun melawatnyer...Alhamdullillah...indahnyer hidup ini !!
My Curcuma is blooming again....but i do not know what cultivar it is.....
Dan curcumaku berbunga lagi....cantik...tapi x tahu apa namanya...apa cultivar ini...?
My Fuchsia seems to be under stress from the great heat of the season....



aaahhh Fuchsiaku kelihatan menaglami stres dari cuaca panas ini.....!! Bertahanlah sayang...cuaca sejuk pasti datang nanti.....



My Rosmarinus officianalis is gone....forever....discovered that its roots were bound tightly in the little plastic container in which it was originally planted....now it's a goner...and i learnt a lesson ...next time i'd check out the root ball of the plant before transplanting it!!!!!
Waduh....Rosmarinus officianalisku...setelah dibelai sekian lama... pergi meninggalkan kami sekeluarga...'arwah'lah dah dia nampaknyer....innallillahhiwainnailaihirajiuun... kini tahu dah apa sebabnyer....!! Keratan asal ini disemai pada bekas plastik yang kecil ...akarnyer terperangkap di dalamnyer x dpt bebas sehingga membunuhnyer...!! Kesilapanku ialah semasa kutanam  dulu...tidak kuperiksa dan buangkan bekas plastik itu...!!!
In memoriam...
Dalam Kenangan......!!!



This is another rosemary i just got.....but it is a different species...with softer stems....
haaa...ini pengganti barunyer...tapi cultivar yang sedikit berbeza...tumbuhnyer melempai....batang lembut tidak sekeras yang lama dulu...tapi yang 'arwah' tu ada keratan yang telah disemai dan nampaknyer sedang bertahan...err doing quite well...jugaklah.....



My Evodia suaveolens/Zodia  seems to be doing well....errmm the leaves smell ...errr 'nice'...simply can't wait to  smell its blooms.....i know they are nothing much to see....tiny insignificant blooms...but aahhh smells 'nice'...well i am not sure what adjective to describe the smell actually....but i know it is rather strongly ...deliciously..?? fragrant...!
Evodia suaveolens/Zodia yang dibawa pulang awa dr Indo...nampaknya hidup subur...errmm daunyer berbau sedap...tak sabar tunggu ia berbunga....asalnyer ada 10 anak pohon ini...tapi mungkin akan  tinggal 9....satu tu telah layu bbp hari lalu...tak pulih2....bakal pergi meninggalkan kami jugak...barangkali...!?




Two more zodia 'babies' here....and a mulberry cutting ....this cutting produced a hairy fruit some time ago....of course had to pinch it off...!!
Ini dua lagi anak zodia....tepi keratan mulberi...alhamdullah 3 keratan mulberi pemberian Tini uitm Machang...hidup belaka....syukur nikmatNya...!!!
Red Malabar spinach...
haaa...ini Malabar spinach merah....induknyer dah tak ada....tinggal anak2nya.....



This is a new place bought last year....hope to start a garden here soon....of course most of  whatever we have in the present garden may be planted here ....am also sourcing for rare fruit trees ...
InsyaAllah pokok-pokok kesayanganku satu hari nanti akan berpindah ke tapak baru.....


this site is by a river...the Besut river....and there is also a tiny stream at the end of this land... the building in progress may one day be a 'homestay' for city folks wanting to escape the stressful-hustle-and-bustle of city life....
di Padang Che Teh, Besut.....yang sedang dibangunkan suami tersayang...errrmmm begitu dedikasi dia bekerja...setiap hari....balik sekolah sambung plak kerja 'kontrak'...! tak sabar barangkali nak lihat tempat barunyer ini siap dibangunkan......hajat2 hati nak buat homestay....insyaAllah....

    1. Thanks for the reply. Im from Pg. Been looking for Zodia for quite some time. As I like the plant so much I wonder if it is feasible for u to send me the benih. In return I'll send you ebooks on gardening or plants...provided u like them of course. Sorry to bother you. Thanks and happy gardening.
