Orang melayu kata 'berbudi pada tanah, membawa tuah yang melimpah. Literally it means 'when you plant fruit trees or veges or anything, you will definitely benefit from them'. Something like that la... :)))
My mom is one person who loves planting trees, vegetables and the likes. She's always doing gardening around the house. So, we have plenty of fruit trees at home. Durian, rambutan, mangosteen, mangoes, guava, petai, jering, daun pandan, and many more.
This picture was taken many years ago
during one of our bountiful harvests.
The fruits came in full force.
This is when my mom is still up and about.
Now, she's not strong enough to do any more gardening
and her daughter (yours truly) is not a farmer at heart. huhu...
Too sad, actually. Mesti mula berbakti pada tanah semula ni.
Anyway, here are some of our fruits of labor (what's left of it, actually).
Jering
Jantung pisang
And the bananas

Everyone's fave fruit - the durians!
Not musang king though but durian kampung
which trees are as 'young' as me... ahaks!
Not all can be eaten though....huhu...
Coconuts - on the ground...
...and on the trees...
Our cempedak...green ones...
...and ripe and rotten ones...
Monkey checking out our cempedak.
Guava - the least eaten fruit.. huhu.. sian dia...
My neighbor on our duku langsat tree...
Duku langsat...
The kampung kids having fun with the duku langsat...
With so many trees around the house,
it's only natural we have visitor of the slithery kind such as this.
Our slithery friend having a feast on the neighborhood froggy.
This is circle of life, I guess.
