Year 2011 New project in My House- COCONUT

Due to some reasons, I am so busy until unable to update my blog. This year, there are bit changes in the routine. Sometimes, every morning, workers are busy doing their job.. They wake up at 4:30 am or 5 am in the morning and open the coconut to bring to the market to sell at 7.00 am. Pity them but this is life... Earn and produce money to the farm... Oh ya.. forget to inform that all the coconut is not product from our farm... it is imported from the neighbor country...

From the market again... it will be process again to become Fresh Shredded Coconut... to sell to the public with different prices... depending on the type and how much they want.

This is the photos of some workers and relatives helping to open the coconut..

 

 

Durian Belanda

Kali ini, saya akan memaparkan buah yang ajaib ini di dalam blog saya. Selama ini, saya langsung tidak endah ataupun peduli khasiat ini sehingga di terjual di pasaran. Pelanggan di Pasar sering mencari Buah ini dan kata mereka adalah Ubat Kanker... Setelah saya tahu khasiat nya, kebanyakan buah ini tidak lagi di jual secara Komersial kerana saya sendiri yang akan makan. Heheheehe.. Tetapi jika pokok nya berbuah banyak, kami juga akan menjual di pasar.

Mari kita selidiki lebih banyak tentang Buah ini...

Durian Belanda atau Soursop, buah dari pohon Graviola adalah pembunuh semulajadi sel kanser yang ajaib dengan 10 ribu kali lebih kuat dari pada terapi kemo. Tapi kenapa kita tidak tahu?

Long Bean

Long, thin and green, best describes the Long Bean (Vigna Sesquipedalis) which is also known as Asparagus Bean, Chinese Long Bean, Garter Bean, Snake Bean (not the Snake Gourd), Yardlong Bean and also as Kacang Panjang in Malaysia and as Payathangai or Karamani in Tamil. This is from the legume family and it is a tropical plant grown in Southeastern Asia, Thailand, Southern China and also Malaysia. Long Bean is not a seasonal plant and therefore can be found year round. Apart from the green (which is common) there are other varieties such the pale green, short green(something like the French beans) and also somewhat in red. I have been only planting the slender darker green. Last week one of my friends gave me the seeds for the red variety, so will be planting this in the next season.

Like any other tropical plant, the Long Bean prefers high temperature and well drained soil. However this plant tolerates heat, low rainfall and arid soils. This is a climbing annual therefore requires trellis for support. I do not use any fancy trellis, mine is just few branches from the tree that grows at the nearby bushes near my home. This plant can grow as tall about 9 to 12 feet and it can climb all by itself, however with a little help from us, it does not get messy and tangled and this also ensures the fruits are visible and have more space for growth. The flowers are a little yellowish and some are violet blue. Bees and ants love the flower so you can see them busy with frequent visit to this plant.
