Garden Design and it's outcome

We can come up with the most beautiful garden design, but to see it through, digging, moving the earth, germinating and planting is hard work. Tiring, but it's fun and rewarding. I came to Pasir Gudang Johor late last year, and the space at the back of the house was so tempting. A simple sketch was drawn and the rest is a journey of backyard gardening....

    1. africanaussie: it can be very wet and soggy during rainy season, so the walkway helps kakdah very much. But cutting grass around walkway is very delicate.....

    1. Sara: that 2000 peppers project is not mine. A team is working on it. The vegetable plot is my playground before sunset almost everyday whenever I am around.

  5. Obviously yr beautiful garden started with hope and dreams ha… I really envy yr determination and hardworking… If there is truly ‘knowledge market” out there, I’m sure yr experience is much more expensive than 100kg of Tahu…

    1. faudzi: Most projects start with the end in mind. Targets, aims are dreams, the route is full of things to do. Everything in the garden is experiential journey without guru or consultant!

    1. Wani: kita setakat boleh rancang dan pasang angan-angan, usaha akan bawa kita hampir dengan impian. tetapi macam2 hal akan jadi: kemarau, hujan lebat, semut makan bunga dan buah, belalang, white flies. Kita tak boleh menang semuanya!.. apa pun, kami bukan nak banyak sangat hasil, untuk dua orang je....
