Mulberry, fast recovery.

It was a month ago that we pruned the mulberry plant heavy and low. 

Now the branches shoot up to about 3 feet with ripe berries. 

I call that "fast recovery".

Mulberry: the stems were pruned heavy and low a month ago

Mulberry, a real fast recovery.

Let Okra branch out for more harvest.

I really have to thank Izmar, a friend from Kuantan. He must have the darkest green fingers on earth, as a full time farmer for some 20 years. Chili has been his specialty, very profitable he said. It's him that suggested cutting off the the main stem to about a foot height, to let more branches coming out. It should have been done very much earlier...., even before Okra learn to flower, he said

A little bit late, but I did cut all them to a foot height, yes, how they branched out. Now, instead of a fruit per plant, Kakdah is now enjoying 3 - 5 okra per plant! Since there are more branches and more fruits for okra to feed, the fruits tend to be smaller and a bit longish.  Veggie sellers understand this marketing aspect of Okra, and they know buyers prefer thinner and smaller okra, not the big  healthy looking ones. The smaller okra is convenient for cooking, serving and eating....., a gulp a piece!!

cut them short.

Kakdah cut them short before they were loaded into the lorry to Tanah Merah from Putrajaya. Now they let out young shoots to witness a different weather and sky. I don't know what the little shoots were thinking..., but the red shoots of rose plant are definitely grinning with high hope
