    Garden visitors

    Ha ha ha Living in a remote village 2.5 hours from main tourist area doesn't mean it's always peaceful and quiet. In fact, there are events and ceremonies almost every day, in addition to the three daily Trisandiya mantras/prayers . Actualy I enjoy them, but not the dangdut and karaoke...

    Growing a Vegetable Garden?

    Growing a Vegetable Garden?

    Besides mamey sapote, sapodilla and passion fruit also grow well in my garden. I also planted rambutan, soursop, jackfruit, nangkadak, avocado, water apple, mango, papaya, lychee, longan, and durian, but they haven't produced any fruit yet.

    Growing a Vegetable Garden?

    Almost corect. I found it in one of boxes sent to Indonesia that I hadn't opened when I was repatriated from Kazakhstan 12 years ago as I was in Indonesia briefly before leaving for another countries. Thank goodness no one died after drinking it.

    Nice taste, smooth, better texture but not as sweet as common sawo. Available in limited fruit stores in Jakarta and online store. I believe you can find it in Bandung too.
