Today is not a typical tuesday for me. Mak is at home taking a week leave...meaning that there'll be some cleaning and outdoor activities to be done. As I suspected, Mak was outside this morning doing some gardening so I helped her...by snapping photos of the plants she tendered hehehe.
Nursing potted plants are actually more tedious than planting direct on the land. There's not much land left when the house area was "cemented" years ago. The only soil left is at the backyard which has been reserved as Pet Cemetary with wild grass and a type of plant we called "Malu kucing". My cats love eating the root of this plant that made them giddy/gedik and "Horny" ahakss. This is how Malu kucing looks like (I forgot to take a shot of its root) :
Checkout some of the potted plants at my house:
Orkid Kuning or Yellow Orchard
Dunno the name but Mak called this plant - Pokok Citibank (She plucked from the one at Citibank Jalan ampang)
Dunno the real name so I just call "buluh Jepun" (Japanese bamboo)
Pohon Bertam or I just call "pokok Kelapa bantut"
These are the type of plants used in cooking and few tropical fruit trees in miniature scales :
Daun Cekur (Dunno what you called it in english)
Lemon Tree - Been around for more than 20 years but never produce a single lemon. Mak said the tree is "mandul"
Durian Belanda or Soursop - about to be transfered to a bigger space.
hat's all for now. I'll be writing another post on the breakfast I prepared and the lunch meals my dad cooked this afternoon.
So til later...have a great day!
