Growing Avocado

I know that avocado provides many benefit to human body. But I rarely eat avocado because we never grow avocado and it is not easy to find. You can only find in a hypermarket but the price is quite astonish. I have found the cheapest one at Giant hypermarket i.e 1.99 per piece. And the most expensive is at KLCC in the Coldstorage and Isetan. The price is rm5.99 perpiece from Australia. The taste is not that good compares to mango or apple. It is almost tasteless. Anyway, looking at it, I always have a thought that we can grow avocado here.

When I was in Bandung, I saw plenty of avocado fruits along the roaf leading to Tangkuban Perahu. They have different sizes as long as a cucumber, round like an apple and ellipse like a pear. I stopped by and ordered 3 kilos of them to take home. My first intention was to collect the seeds and grow them at home. I gave them to my wife and she sowed few seed to let it grow. It is so simple. Just pushed the seed into the soil. Thats it!

When I googled how to grow avocado, then I realised that I was wrong. I thought nothing will grow perfectly. Then I bought avocados from Giant hoping that I would grow them rightly. I soaked the bottom of the seed into the water hoping the root will emerge slowly. Until total the root not yet appear!

Finally I ordered three plants from my frend but by the time they arrived home, the leaves already dried, crispy and almost dead. Finally my wife told me that only one avocado managed to survive that she sowed few months ago.. Yes my experiment is going to be succeeded soon!

Regent Park Mosque London Setiap hari Khamis malam Jumaat aku akan ke London untuk ke Algate East Mosque, Christian Street, London. Masjid ini dahulunya adalah synagogue. Apabila komunity Islam sudah bertambah di kawasan ini, terutamanya warga Bangla, maka ramai orang orang Yahudi yang berpindah ke North London. Selalunya aku akan terus dari kelas ke sana yang memakan masa selama 30 minit by train. Kadang kadang ada member teringin nak ikut tapi selalunya aku seorang lone ranger aje. Di samping dengar bayan sekali sekala seronok juga boleh jumpa dan borak dengan member2 yang lain. Di sinilah aku selalu jumpa Abang Qasim aku tuh. Kalau aku dah penat dan rasa dah lewat untuk pulang ke rumah, aku iktikaf aje di masjid. Kalau aku iktikaf Abang Qasim lah yang selalu sediakan bistra untuk aku. Sayang dia kat aku...hehehehe. Esok paginya kadang aku terpaksa ponteng kelas sebab lewat. Lagi pun subjek tu bukanya ada exam pun. Jadi week end sahaja aku selalu lepak di rumah member member aku yan

Pokok Bunga Kertas Sekarang orang tanam pokok bunga kertas dalam pasu gantung. Bila daun dia merendang dan berbunga memang nampak cantik seperti pokok pertunia. Rasanya pokok bunga kertas ni lebih senang nak jaga lagi pun dia berbunga sepanjang tahun. Ada juga di tanam di dalam pasu yang lebih besar. Tetapi harga tiga kali ganda. Aku beli Empat pasu untuk di letak di depan rumah aku. Satu warna bright pink, peach, white and light pink. Nampak gaya ia akan menjadi koleksi terbaru aku. Dulu aku pernah tanam berbagai bagai pokok ni dan dah besar dan cantik untuk di bongsaikan. Tapi kawasan rumah sekangkang kera aku terpaksa eksport ke rumah mertua aku. Sekarang entah kemana pokok pokok itu. Actually idea untuk letak bunga kertas berjurai tu dah lama aku buat seperti di dalam gambar tu. Aku rasa dah 6 tahun aku tanam kat atas tu tapi masih juga kemetot. Aku tahu puncanya. 1. Tinggi sangat - jadi malas nak kerabat pakai tangga untuk membaja dan merumput. 2. Kurangnya baja untuk di suburkan

Pokok Kemboja Inilah pokok kemboja yang baru aku semai. Harap harap dan berdoa hiduplah mereka Ini satu lagi semaian dari spesis baru yang aku dapat dari SB Kemboja yang di semai semula akibat tumbang ti tiup ribut tahun lepas suadah subur dan baru mula berbunga. Warnanya bright pink Ini pun sama juga kemboja yang mula berbunga selepas di tanam semula akibat tumbang di pukul ribut. Inilah kemboja besar berwarna orange and pink. Risau juga takut tumbang di tiup angin. Do you know that Kemboja possesses its very own characteristic smell? Yesterday I was picking the varieties of Kemboja from the ground and I started to smell them. To my astonishment, all of them explained a different kind of aroma. . I was at SB one day and while I was enjoying driving and viewing the varieties of plants, I saw a pink with maroon lining Kemboja by the road side. I stopped my car and asked the Indon man how much was the Kemboja. He said RM75. The size was about3 feet tall and already blooming. I was cont
