my backyard ...

When we moved into this house two years ago, the very first thing that my dad planted at the backyard was the lime tree (pokok limau nipis) ...and two years on, it had started to bear fruits ....which is very handy when we want to use it in cooking and so on ...and knowing my family, we often need a lot of these sour little fruit for making our umai ...

My dad is the one who is responsible for all the planting and landscaping here ..and lately he was a bit overwhelmed with his babysitting duties, and frequent trips to the village, hence accounting for the lack of maintenance at the backyard ..he only started to clear some of the undergrowth under the lime tree a few days ago ...

My dad like to do these chores ..he said it would keep him going and as part of his exercise routine ...if he is happy, we are happy :-)

thank you ..my dad yang design landscaping kat backyard tu ...apa2 nak tanam kena consult dia in case it doesn't fit dia punya landscaping plan! BTW, ngko tanam limau nipis ke limau purut? sebab setahu aku kami tak gunakan daun limau nipis dalam masakan ...
