Fresh from my backyard
Kebun sayurku
Pinapples at large
Lemon grass, papaya and the chicken house at the background built by my father.
We will have daily supply of three eggs per day for a year or so.
Extras for sale.
Fresh bayam for dinner.
My wife attending to her sayur bayam, sayur bunga, pokok jagong at an open space behind our house. Previously the area was rich with lallang.
The price hike in fuel and other commodities was eating deeper into my pocket and for now I had my wife to thank for as now we are no longer buying vegetables, lemon grass, papaya, pineapple, banana, yam, tapioca, terung, sweet potato, sweet petula, eggs and ginger.
My wife cleared backyard (behind our kitchen) and is now full of greens. I have my father to build the chicken den. My job is confine to watering the vegetable.
We have all that fresh from our backyard. We are even selling pineapples, banana, lemon grass as there are just to many for our own consumption.
My three chicken are giving us three eggs per day and as I had said in my posting last year, we always six eggs `stand by' everyday. My two previous chickens had retired after two years and now their tasks been taken over by three new birds which started giving us eggs since four weeks ago.

Greeneries surround the ambience of your home compound. The green veggies and fruits that we plant will feed the hungry, the green virgin tropical jungles of Sabah might in future appease any wrath of Mother Nature...the green of nature and the red colour of human's blood...give life to all of God's creation!
Even the trees have life...the grass and even water and fire have life! When we treat them we treat mankind ...then we will never die for our spirits will only leave their bodies but they will forever live like the whistling wind!
...when you kiss the soil...treasure the rivers and adore the trees...you're actually praising the Almighty Creator!
The 7th Boluntung,
Gunung Kinabalu.
Wow - impressive! that's certainly healthier way of life.
