Hello everyone, how are you? Today I went to the garden to pick bamboo shoots, actually I don't know whether the bamboo shoots grow. I think bamboo shoots are there, because now it's the rainy season.
This garden is not far from my house, that day I passed a road full of grass. This grass has not been cut by the janitor so it is very lush, apart from that we have to be careful when walking because there is a lot of shy princess grass growing here, this grass has lots of thorns, if you are not careful the thorns will hurt you.
On the way we will get views that can refresh the eyes, from here you can see a fairly wide river flow. The view will be beautiful in the afternoon, you can see the sunset from this place.
The weather today is quite sunny, usually it will rain in the afternoon, so I take the time to go to the garden at noon.
Now it's spring, all the plants are growing very well, and people don't need to be afraid of drought anymore.
The river flow is currently quite heavy due to increasing rainfall, so no residents dare to play on the riverbank for fear of flooding.
This is one way to the garden, you can see how fertile the plants are here. Before entering the garden we have to open this bamboo gerbanh first. Ha...ha... this is so funny isn't it?
This bamboo door and fence was deliberately made by my uncle so that no one could enter it. My uncle is afraid that some of the plants we plant are taken by irresponsible people. It is undeniable that here there are so many thieves who arbitrarily take the fruits of people's plants such as fruit and others. In this garden we have many plants such as guava tree,coconut,banana,durian,duku, cassava and so on.
In addition we also have a fish pond, although there are still few fish. I also made a gazebo from bamboo, but this work stopped because my uncle was busy and couldn't finish it.
The making of this gazebo will be resumed later if my uncle has free time.
Below are some pictures of plants, fish ponds and gazebos.
This month is the durian season, coincidedly our durian tree bears quite a lot of fruit. I found one durian fruit that fell, but this durian fruit is still young so it can't be eaten. I really look forward to this durian fruit ripening, it tastes very good.
Do you like durian fruit like me? According to some people, this durian fruit is not good, they will feel dizzy and nauseous when they smell it or eat it.
Some time ago I also planted plants such as chili seeds, tomato and others, but it seems that the seeds I planted did not grow. This is so sad.
I also found this fruiting banana tree to fall, I think this tree fell because it was hit by the wind when it rained heavily. I can't pick this banana yet because the fruit is still very young, this banana is a type of kepok bananas. Generally kepok bananas are better fried and steamed.
After walking around the garden I started looking for bamboo shoots and was very grateful because there were some bamboo shoots that grew, but I only took two bamboo shoots because I didn't need much.
In my place, these bamboo shoots are usually used as dishes such as curry, stir-fry and others. When taking these bamboo shoots, we must be careful because there are so many feathers like small thorns that will make us feand itchy if we get hit by the skin. I had a little problem picking up these shoots because I only used a kitchen knife, plus the mosquitoes that surrounded me a lot, made me feel disturbed. Even though I've used mosquito lotion, but it has no effect at all.
Before I went home, I saw a place to drain the water first, it turned out that this place had been cleaned because usually a lot of dry leaves piled up. This water flow is a flow from a spring, the water is very clear and delicious to consume. This water is drained into the fish pond so we don't have to fill it every time.
Because I couldn't stand a lot of mosquitoes, so I decided to go home immediately after getting bamboo shoots.
Thank you for reading my post today. See you with my next post.
I took this photo with the iPhone 11 camera.
