Two of my Blue Java Banana or Ice Cream Banana are fruiting simultaneously. This is for April summer smoothies. πŸ˜‹πŸŒ±πŸ’š




 

Rooster for breeding

I scored yesterday another future breeder to upgrade my flocks. Roosters are crucial for breeding, directly influencing 60% of a chick's genetic traits, including growth rate, body conformation, and disease resistance. Keeping multiple or different types of roosters provides flexibility. 




 

Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans)

My lone surviving Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans), battling the heat of almost a month with no rain.

This is an indigenous tree of Moluccas, Indonesia. An important source of spice nutmeg and mace. 😍🌱🌳








 

Buko for hot days

Fresh buko is a refreshing treat for this hot January, as the start of dry season comes very early. This is a bilaka dwarf coconut variety.

Himbabao or Alukon (Allaeanthus luzonicus)

One of my Himbabao or Alukon (Allaeanthus luzonicus) or Birch Flower in English. Native to the Philippines and can be found in thickets and second growth forests, at low and medium altitudes. Flower spikes are edible; used in meat and vegetable dishes like pinakbet and bulanglang. When cooked, the flower becomes gooey and slimy like okra. Flowering season extends from February to April. Aside from its culinary use, the fibrous bark of Himbabao is used in making ropes. πŸ’šπŸŒ±πŸŒ³
