Chicken

There are three chickens roam freely in KAIL garden. They belong to a neighbor. They like to visit the gardens since last Eid. The chickens are beautiful, glad to see them. However, a problem arises. When they visit the garden, they often search for food among the plants in the garden. So, many plants are damaged. One bed of corn and peanut depleted ruined. Not to mention the grass in the backyard. And, the ginseng plant leaves are exhausted. Sniff! Hopefully soon we find a best solution together to solve this problem with the chickens.

Mulberry in KAIL Garden

Several months ago, Fitri from the Joint Study Group presented a white mulberry tree to House KAIL. The tree was planted in front of the bed along with paper flowers, kale, marigolds and other crops. One tree is then grown, flowering, fruiting and multiply into many. The flowers are tiny and white. The young fruit is green and becomes red when ripen. It tastes sweet and sour. Slurp! According to Ms. Fitri, mulberry fruits are best for jam. Hmmm ... we still have to wait though. Because, the fruits in KAIL garden are still too few if you want to make jam. Hopefully we’ll get more and more fruits. Thank you, Fitri.

Years ago, a friend from Jatihandap, Esti Wijayanti, gave a Plumeria cuttings for KAIL garden. Plumeria, also known as Frangipani, is native to Indonesia and is called as yellow cambodia by the locals. The cuttings are then planted in the front beds of House Kail at the beginning of the last rainy season. The cuttings are then grown leaves. At first was two, then four, and now widely. Well, this month the cuttings start flowering. First flowers bloom on the date of August 3, 2016. The next day, the second flower follows. They are very beautiful. More and more flowers are in bloom. Really beautiful! Thank you, soil and water. Thank you for helping to grow this beautiful yellow frangipani. And, thank you, Esti.
