My parents have this HUGE backyard in their new home – and they’re making full use of it. Planting vegetables, fruits, yam and corns. I went up the hill yesterday (the backyard’s on a hill) and this is what I saw:

Those are jagung pandan. Pandan corn. It smells like pandan leaves – very yummy smell I must say. And if you noticed the slightly “bitten” leaves, those are made by my neighbor’s chickens. Haha! Anyway, the neighbor told us that they’ve locked up their chickens ever since. The corns are going to survive!
Come visit my parents in 3 months time if you’d like to try some! Maybe offer them some business jobs in crops industry too, since they’re both retired now. Hahaha! (Kidding!) :รพ

My grandparents pun pernah grow crops dulu at our kampung. Tapi nda menjadi this because sudala the soil bikin panas, the saiz tanah pun not encouraging ni
When the plants become adult already (keeke), don’t forget kasi tapau untuk cya ah. Cya mo beli beberapa bakul;B
