MiNi GaRDeN iN PRoGreSs..

Now what to do with this mini garden area of mine... I'm planning to plant only grasses and some stepping stones... Like other always says.. "The less the better.."

So look what I bought from IKEA.... heeee.....

Grass from IKEA...

Hehe... IKEA & GRASS doesn't match that well... Actually I bought those beautiful fine grass at Sungai Buloh.. its further up from the Hospital Sg Buloh... its much cheaper there... only RM1.20 per piece (1ft x 2ft).. In total I just spend only RM50 for the whole land... 

Oh ya... before this I was planning to just plant the Pearl Grass... But when we reach the nursery, I fell in love with the Carpet Grass.. hehehe...

 

 

I also bought a STEP STONE.. which cost more expensive that my grasses..hehehe...

  

Mini Garden in PROGRESS and tools lying everywhere....

 

I also have this Unique Flower plant... the plant produce BEAUTIFUL white flowers with WONDERFUL n CATCHY smell...

I've been busy planning and designing for my new house interior.. since most of it is settled.. now dah slowly kena start planning for the exterior pulak...the gardens...


Btw, My hows has 3 parts of tanah... 

1. Tanah Besar (beside Master Bedroom)
2. Tanah Kecik (infront of Living Room)
3. Tanah Lorong (a very small tanah area infront of 2 rooms)

Since the Tanah Besar is really HUGE.. sampai my frenz ckp boleh main futsal... hehe (masa beli sronok..masa nk plan dah pening)... So I've decided to do parts by parts... But for Tanah Besar, the progress will be spraying Racun Lalang and gemburing the tanah for the next 2 months... (definitely gonna be kosong n purely virgin... hehe)

Tanah Besar

Ok now kena start kaji on what Plant to tanam.. and the most important is how to keep them ALIVE!!!! 

Tanah Kecik

So this the the tanah I want to focus first...phewwh byk benda yg nak dikerjakan kt tanam ni.... 

1. Kena bersihkan / buang sisa2 batu and other donation things that people have been putting in my lawn... 
2. Kena gemburkan tanah..or maybe kena buang 1/2 inch oh the tanah... 
3. Buy pasir halus and tabur on top..
4. Spraykan racun benih bercambah & racun lalang (so that no other alien plants will get a chance to grow in between...)
5. Let it rest for 2 weeks (hoping the street cats wont Poo Poo on my clean NEW SAND....)
6. Choose a grass and start to paste on the NEW SAND...

After browsing the net, I think I've made up my mind on the type of grass... I'm choosing PEARL GRASS..


Pros:

• No need to cut as it will not grow long..
• Very Lebar and GREENY...Looks refreshing..
• Don't need direct sun light..

Cons:

• Very manja and need extra caring... (baja & water)

I've also found this useful blogs on:

• Types of Grass and Tips to keep them alive.. read here
• Steps to Plant the Pearl Grass... read here

As for the Tanah Lorong pulak...since its very small, boleh la I kerjakan jugak.. I'm planning to plants Heliconia..and just tabur White Stones on it..so that no rumput will grow on it.. and so that my pagar will not be easily bengkok too...

Tanah Lorong

Heliconia...

   

Looks simple but there are many many many steps.... Will update the garden once its ready...(probably in the next few months..)

GreeN.. GreeN aLL The Way..

I just notice that I only have 1 update about my lil garden..
(too ghairah with the cooking and the other bebel-an stuff...hehe)

So today I dah buat an hour of site visit at my balcony... to check my pokok status... tanya khabar.. tengok apa masalah diaorg.. (hehe..rasa mcm YB dok lawat kawasan laks..)

Yenneway, There is a Good News an a Bad News from Pokok Cili... ok Bad News dulu lah... it seems that she was Miscarriage a few weeks ago.. Tu laaa terlupa nk update.. and the Good News pulak is that... She is Pregnant AGAIN!!!!! yeeeeeha!!! (ehh pokok pregnant kah???)

Pokok Tomato lak tgh berligat menambahkan produksi daun2nya... hehe.. but still at Baby Stage..

 

Ni pulak I panggil Pokok Keladi Daun Berlubang.. A month ago, daun dia dah start to mogok n change to yellowish-brownishh... So I bebel la sikit kat dia n buang yg keruh ambil yg jernih...hehe.. bersihkan n bubuh baja...n WAAALAAA... Now at its Recovery Stage..

 

Pokok Cactus at its nyawa2 ikan status....

Money Plant... yang segar bugar..mana taknya.. dia sorang jer ada VITAMIN KHAS... hehehehe

I now need to breed more new VEGE PLANT so that when the time come I'm well prepared...hehe... Presenting my new plant..  Pokok Serai..TAADAAA..

(hmm bila la nk p beli tanah untuk Si Pokok Serai ni...)

GReeN DaY..

It all started like this... One day En Hulk was not feeling well... he keep saying that he feels like he's SUGAR LEVEL dah naik! So I pulak...as usual being paranoid with sakit... bila masuk ofis dok sibuk la tanya2 my frenz... so one of them told me about this ulam that her husband is taking...and it helps alot! she said tomorrow she will bring for me... ahaks!! thats GREAT NEWS!!

Keesokkan harinya,as promise... my fren brought the keratan-keratan pokok ulam...she advice to take it as ulam but not more than 3 HELAI per day. (Don't ask y..coz i pun xtaw...nnt jadi LALOQ kot! hehe)

Yenneway...I pun bagi la kt En Hulk suruh dia makan... and this was our dialog:

Me: "En Hulk, Kak M bg Ulam Sambung Nyawa kat u.. to help Ur sugar level"
 
En Hulk: " You nak I sambung brapa lama lagi"

Me: "Hampeh!!!"


And yes...the name is ULAM SAMBUNG NYAWA... Since My fren bagi keratan batang2..so dia suruh i rendam dalam air bagi dia keluar akar dulu...then terus masuk pasu.... Pokok ni senang membiak... kalau rasa pokok tu dah tinggi jer...potong n pacak kat tepi2... sure bercambak2 naik...


Oh btw, I forgot to end En Hulk's story....he said that he feels much better after 3 days taking the ulam...so i guess it did helps.. (tp xtau la jugak...kekdg tu mind set jer...hehe)
