The look of pisang lemak manis heart from the one planted outside lab area.

I am surprised today to see the heart of pisang lemak manis from the one planted outside lab. Basically after 7 months and 24 days or 236 days planted it last 6 September 2018 [1]. It does follow best case scenario for pisang lemak manis plant to produce heart. Which is 6 to 7 months after it is planted.
The plant is quite skinny due to less fertilized soil condition. We have put organic fertilizer a lot in weekly basis. But seems not sufficient enough for it. Still I am grateful it able to produce heart on time for fruiting process.

The plant just my height.

The look of the heart and daun pengasuh. Daun pengasuh is the short leaves that comes out along with the banana heart. As indicated in red circle in below pictures.

My harvested 77 gm of aloe vera leaf.

I harvest one of my aloe vera leaf last noon of 28 April 2019. Since one of my colleagure asking for it. The weight is 77 gm. Still 3.2 size smaller the one I harvested from my Aunt's place last 25 March 2019 [1]. Despite it mine does given by my Aunt. Which is basically come from that aloe vera plant at my Aunt's house.

This type of aloe vera plant does not have dots on its skin. Which is much safer version to be consumed. Also the flesh is big.

At this moment, can see around 3 sisir ( bunch) of banana fruits.

Reason why I loves to divert my energy and focus more on gardening as stress relieves activity.

Nowadays  people keep on asking me why I am hardworking in my gardening activities. Well, I have various reason to do so.

• As my stress relieving activity. I prefer to have an activity that enable me to enjoy good organic food. I am also able to help others in need of organic harvest. In away helps contribute to generate income.
• Activity that in away force me to exercise while taking care of the plants. Bonus: I get to harvest good fruits and vegetables.
• To divert my extra meticulous energy after such being used in my documentation works. Better than spending for unnecessary activities that is time plus money consuming and gain nothing much.
• Makes me learn plenty more about fruits, vegetables, pest and good gardening insects.
• Makes me to do a better documentation works on plant traits, flowering and fruiting time, disease, pest and good gardening insects.

Nasal vacuum for my cats.

Last time I did buy 1 set of baby nasal vacuum for my cats that have 3 different head. But it is made of hard plastic. Basically not comfortable to be used on my cats. I was battling using it on them last time. Despite I used the smallest head size.

This one the head is made of silicone. Much more comfortable used by my cats. Since I am not able to ask them to sneeze out their snot.

I do like the design here with lid to cover the head part. As it does help to keep it clean from impurities.
