Wild Passion...

Passion fruit or locally known as "buah susu" or "mangkisar". We used to pluck it in the wild - nobody planted the creeper before heheheh. The wild passion fruit vines grown all over the place. If not for my brother insistance, I would clear all, for it is bushy and grow very fast. So, we keep a few plants that grow on the fence, along the angled bean trees. Although the vines grow fast, but its take longer time to fruit. The creeper plant started growing about the same time as the angled bean, but is yet to fruit - not for much longer I guess, for the flowers are blooming...

Sitting pretty...




Hope this one will turn into sweet, juicy passion fruit...

Garden Tomato

The single surviving tomato tree is producing good harvest. I have learned that I need to pick up the fruits earlier - cannot leave it ripe on the tree for it will go bad fast...


Any more ripe than this will spoil the fruit. So I have to pluck the fruit earlier and leave it to ripe off the tree.


MashaAllah, la kuwwata illabillah... Allah, Tuhan yang menumbuhkan dari tanah. Dari mati (tiada) kepada hidup dan mati semula... (dan hidup semula...)

Papaya Pt II

The papaya trees went through severe torture when growing up, to the suspected mousedeer who loves the shoots. Although some of the trees survive, but not without scars. Now almost all the trees, each producing sizeable fruits of different shapes (oblong or rounded). The flesh are of 2 shades, either orange or red. I personally prefer the orange colored, for although both are equally sweet; the orange colored flesh texture is usually finer.


Sooo thin...



But they survive for now…

One of the rare, isolated trees that survive the attacks, growing healthier.

At Last, the Dragon Moves

After many months of staring at the static saplings, finally the dragon fruit trees started branching out...
