16th January 2011
With the kindness and favour portrayed by our neighbour in giving us free stones for decorating our yard, my wife and I did some more planting today. We have more saplings of soursop and mangoes that needed to be transferred out of its pots and as such we took opportunity of the cloudy weather to do some hard work.
In addition to that, we also needed to "rescue" a turmeric plant (courtesy of my parents-in-law) that was always overlooked by our garden mowers. We cleared up the plant area and put some stones circling it. My wife harvested some and used it for cooking a delicious lunch for us. You can't get any fresher than that!

These mango saplings were planted directly from seeds. It only took about 2-3 months for it to grow that tall. However, my mother-in-law says that cloned saplings (pokok kahwin) are better since they bear fruits faster and do not normally grow extra tall which makes picking fruits easier. Nevertheless, we are still hoping that we can taste the Australian mangoes in a few years time. We'll just have to wait and see.
