We have loads of Daun Kadok, Indian Borage and Pegaga. Messaged them if they need any and they replied that they welcome Daun Kadok and Indian Borage.
Armed with that, I went there for the first time.
Oh my Kucing! There were Durian trees too! Nah! We didn't take that.
Instead we took rose and Cuban Oregano.
They were giving out tadpoles and little fishes too.
I had great time trying to catch some fishes but all I caught were tadpoles. A pretty girl girl helped me to catch a little fish.
Hi! Little tadpoles....
The fish that the girl girl helped me to catch.
Mamarazzi said put the tadpoles at a shaded area in the car porch la. Soon they will become frogs.
Thank you to Free Tree Society Kuala Lumpur for this wonderful opportunity. Watch out for their next giveaway in Facebook. Their Facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/FreeTreeSociety?fref=ts
Well done , kucing!! That's the way ... love nature!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to have groups like this to give out free trees and also Tadpoles. Many city kids don't get the chance to go into "longkang" to catch tadpoles like the old days
DeleteLovely photos, and what a wonderful project! Kudos to you. :)
ReplyDeleteAll thanks to the people at FTSKL
DeleteThis is awesome! I hope you show us when the tadpoles become fish!! Why didn't you get a Durian plant?
ReplyDeleteHope so hope so.
DeleteDidnt get the durian plant coz it will need a big area to grow and it can grow very tall. We dont have such place for it to grow happily. Hope it will go to a nice family
Great effort by them. We need more trees! Too hot here :(
ReplyDeletesure. Each bring home a plant and can make our environment better. Tyhey have plants for shaded area too
DeleteI can remember gathering tad poles when I was a kid. We called them poly wogs. Not sure why.
ReplyDeleteDuring Mamarazzi's time it was the boys that go into the drains to catch tadpoles
DeleteWhat pretty girl? No photo kah? Wahhhh...so nice, can get free one. Dunno of any place here that does that.
ReplyDeleteno photo lo. Mamarazzi busy choosing plants for herself. Too many dunno wanna get what
DeleteWah good sharing wor.. Very environment friendly post.. You bring something to exchange back something, nice.. Can catch fist and tadpoles too.. But you are very brave la to catch tadpoles home.. I think they look geli ahh, hehe.. But mama is righy, they will become frogs :)
ReplyDeleteNo need to bring anything to exchange. Can just go there empty hand to get a plant.
DeleteIt's just that we happen to have excess of Indian Borage and Daun Kadok plants. If wanna throwaway, sayang. So asked them if they wanna it or not.
Thanks for the link. Will check their fb for their next giveaway.
ReplyDeleteSaw they mentioned that they will be having one next month
DeleteThat is wonderful...to share plants. How nice if we can have one here in Ipoh. I am sure you had a fun time there.
ReplyDeleteMaybe your area can organise one.
Deleteeih, this is nice!! reminds Uncle SK about that book exchange place in Subang Mamarazzi always goes.. now instead of exchanging for books, Mamarazzi exchanged for plants (and also some tadpoles and fish for Small Kucing).. nice idea to put gardening lovers together.. :)
ReplyDeleteNo no...this is not a plant exchange. No need to bring plants there also can get a plant if you wish.
Deletedaun kadok and indian borage, no idea what they are.. and what about those basil that Mamarazzi complained she has too many of them?? haha.. maybe they also have a lot of those too?? :p
ReplyDeleteThe basil plants ah....Adui......kena the black bugs/mites attacked. Died. Left only 3. Now nyawa nyawa kucing only
Deleteoooh, Mamarazzi took rose and cuban oregano.. the oregano is a kind of herbs and Mamarazzi can use it in cooking?? ooooh, oregano and rosemary roast chicken with grilled veggies?? sound yummy yummy..
ReplyDeleteand rose!!! Uncle SK wonders what color are those roses?? Paparazzi tarak beli for Mamarazzi, so Mamarazzi merajuk and plant the roses herself?? hehehehe :D
yes. according to them this oregana can be use for cooking.
DeleteHahaha....not easy to plant rose. Saja wanna try planting it
haha, see the little fish also tertarik by lenglui only.. Small Kucing only caught a few tadpoles but lenglui jeh jeh got him a little fish!! errrr, really going to let the tadpoles grow into frogs inside there?? hmmm, later all jumping inside the house and scare Mamarazzi pulak.. dunno lah, Uncle SK finds frogs very yucky leh~~ Small Kucing likes them ke??
ReplyDeleteMamarazzi not scared of frogs. NIce to have them in the garden. they will help to eat all the mozzie
DeleteFantastic way of exchanging plants. Must check out too. Very interesting.
ReplyDeleteNo no....it's not to exchange plants, Nava. Maybe our post no so clear. During giveaway, the public can just go and take plants from them . No need to bring plants to exchange. It just so happen we have overgrown borage and daun kadok. So thought maybe they would help find new home for these plants
DeleteI no fate with plants, if i take the plants, sure go heaven...
ReplyDeletewait.........send you cactus. sure wont go heaven
DeleteOh soon you are going to have katak jumping all over your house hee..hee...
ReplyDeleteJust hope they wont jump into any cooking pit else will have frog porridge lor LOL. Nah.....hoping that they will stay in our garden ....eat up all the mozzie
DeleteWonderful initiative!!
ReplyDeletesure is
DeleteWhat a good initiative.
ReplyDeleteSo Kucing family gave some plants and took back a few too?
Why didn't take the durian plant? Hihihi
Yea...each took one plant. Durinan tree mana nak tanam???? LOL
DeleteNice cause.
ReplyDeleteSo how are the tadpoles? Showing the legs already??
So fun this. Plant exchange is better than buying from nursery coz you know 'normal' people can plant them.
ReplyDeleteLOL...not an exchange but anyone can take a plant home during their giveaway even without bringing a plant.
DeleteEducational outing ah! Show the frogs when they have grown... OK? :)
ReplyDeleteif theyu have not leaped away la LOL
DeleteWhat a cool event!
ReplyDeleteyup... :)
Deletefree plants and trees are a wonderful idea!
ReplyDeleteYup :)
DeleteThat's nice! Our earth need more greens.
ReplyDeletetrue true
DeleteHope the tadpoles successfully grow up n become big big frog :P
ReplyDeletehopefully
DeleteBestnya got event like this. Sure be interesting and fun.
