Backyard Gardening in Putrajaya - an approach.


It was Tuesday morning, and the sun was bright. I always find morning photos as fresh, sweet and soothing, with long shadow as the sun peeps through the roof  and the trees.  Even plants and grass will look greener. I suppose plants, vegetables, leaves and flowers just woke up from a long sleep. They look fresh as any babies early in the morning. The time was 8.15 am.


VIEW FROM THE RIGHT CORNER
OF OUR HOUSE


Early morning, a view from right corner of the house.

The structural skeleton of our backyard garden is formed by a row of 5 one-year-old Leucaena leucocephla (petai belalang) and a cluster of three banana plants. These two species of plant or tree will stand higher than the rest, providing shade and shelter to smaller vegetables and plants spread out in clusters around the garden.  A bit to the left, which is not visible in this photograph are two papaya plants which are heavy with fruits.



VIEW FROM THE END OF THE GARDEN 
TOWARDS THE HOUSE


Another view towards the house


Its a view from the cloth lines at the far back of our garden. Right in the centre is our sorghum circle, Its like 3 sisters cluster,  because the three batches are grown at an interval of one month. The approach will allow continuous supply of sorghum grains.

    1. Now, morning is the only time cool enough to stay outside...... Petai belalang will produce smaller petai.... taste, smell about the same as the normal petai... Malar, look around the roadside, you may see these petai belalang....
