Fruiting at Jogja Garden

Long time no see...
I just want to share whatever I have at my garden. Because of my little garden, I don't have blooms, fruiting to show you anytime I want. This time, at last, I have something to share with my blog's readers.

I have my chili pepper tree ready to fruiting. I hope I can harvest chili from my own garden in the next few weeks. My wife will love it, I guess.


My fig tree also show its fruits too. I fertilize it with organic fertilizer for 2 months. Now, it's going to give me fruits again. It's color is still green now. It will be purple when mature and very sweet.

I'm back from Dengue fever

Aedes aegypti mosquito, from Wikipedia

I have just came out from hospital last Saturday. I stayed in hospital for 8 days. I got dengue fever, a tropical deseases, caused by virus serotypes of the genus Flavivirus, family Flaviviridae. Dengue is transmitted to humans by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. It cause the decrease of platelets, or thrombocytes in the blood.

People said that to increase the platelets, or thrombocytes in the blood, I had to drink guava juice. My wife made the juice for me. I had to drink a lot of water too. Now, I'm just fine.

The Hunt of Cherry Blossom

 Cherry Blossom, from Wikipedia

I've read from my friend's blog that Cherry Blossoms (Prunus serrulata) can live and bloom in Indonesia. We call it, in Indonesia, Sakura flowers. That's a good news for me. 
They are planted in the area of Selorejo Dam, Malang by a Japanese consultant. 

The origin of Cherry Blossom is Japan. In Japan, Cherry Blossoms bloom once a year in Spring.
But, in Indonesia, they can bloom twice a year.  

For Japanese, Cherry Blossom is a symbol of women, life, and death. That's why you can find the picture of Cherry Blossom on
kimono, stationery, and kitchen set.

I'm really interested in having a Cherry Blossom tree. I will contact the saler to ask the price and the suitable climate for it. If the price is reasonable and the saler tell me that Cherry Blossom can live in Yogyakarta, I will collect it.
