Dekopon Mandarin Orange


Dekopon Oranges

Origin: ChinaPrice: RM 110Type: Grafted Plant

Dekopon Oranges is one of the best tasting, seedless sweet oranges in the citrus family.They are easily differentiated through their thick bumpy skin & large bump on one end. This orange, a hybrid between tangerine & orange peel like mandarin oranges and have thin membranes.




Dekopon can grow in tropical country like ours. However their colour will not be full orange, it will be greenish orange.



As with many citrus, Dekopon can be in pot, but the growth will stunt once the root outgrow the pot size. You will probably need to repot every 2 years.

Is Meyer Lemon just another Lemon?

There is distinct difference in terms of taste & look. Meyer Lemon is smaller, rounder in comparison with Lisbon/Eureka Lemon commonly found in shops. Their skin is thinner & deeper yellow-orangey colour. Meyer orange is sweeter and less acidic as they are believe to be a cross between mandarin orange & lemon.

Meyer Lemons can be added to salad, desserts, bakes and drinks. You can enjoy loads of lemony goodness with eyes wide open.

Saffron Bulbs

Saffron Bulb
RM10 each bulb

Saffron is a spice that is derived from Saffron Crocus. It originates from Greece.  Saffron has earthy honey hay like smell. This is one of the most expensive spice by weight. This herb is used extensively in curry, baking and are often added to rice dishes in Spanish & Middle eastern cuisine. They are believe to cure stomach upsets (flatulence & cramps), blood disorder & insomnia.


Saffron plant care is not for the weak hearted. Grow saffron bulbs in rich organic soil with no water retention. Mix with 50% small pebbles or perlite or course sand. Spray water sparingly & NEVER ever use water hose or leave it out in the rain else the bulb will rot.

I have always believe that in planting plants, you need to at least give it a try and not give up!

Bay Laurel Plant (Laurus Nobilis) - Bay Leaves

I have always wanted to plant my own bay plant. Imagine plucking fresh bay leaves from your own garden for cooking. These plants are imported from Australia & have aromatic smells that is utterly different from local "daun salam". Bay leaves is used in stew, Italian pasta sauce and I usually add them in my soup stock to enhance the flavour.

To use, choose the oldest leaves and dry them for 2-3 days. Fresh leave will leave a bitter taste. Freshly dried leaves are more aromatic than those that are store bought ones.
Bay Laurel can grow well in Malaysia and is an evergreen plant that need very little care.

My plants comes with hefty tag because plants are imported and I need to take some time to stabilise it prior to releasing them to customer.

Asparagus

Asparagus

Asparagus can be planted from seeds, however you will not be able to harvest until the plant is about 2 years old. That is when the shoots will get thicker.

Asparagus are expensive and at times the store bought ones texture are fibrous because it has been kept for some time. Planting your own asparagus make sense, you will get the freshest produced from your own garden.

For asparagus to trive, you will need wider pots rather than deep pots.
