1st Anniversary

It is six months since we planted the 1st batch of grafted durian seedlings. It is coming to the end of Year 1 since we first prepared the land for fruit farming. For the most part, the seedlings have grown very well and have developed into young plants. In between the durian, longan, langsat, mango, lime, mangosteen plants we planted cash crops like cucumbers, brinjals and bananas. However, we had two seedlings that needed to be replaced. Indeed, the dusun is shaping up ! We shall call this first cultivated plot of land P1.

Yes, by naming this plot P1, we are setting our sights at several other plot of lands. We have surveyed P2, P3 and P4. Our intent is to start land clearing on P2 next month. Land clearing appears to be easier for P2, as it is taking over an existing farm that has been overgrown by weeds and creepers. There are quite a number of good old fruit trees that we may want to keep. Except now we need to upkeep with fertilizers. Primary cultivated crop for P2 is going to be honey oranges, otherwise called mandarin limau madu. It is going to be a busy December month.
