The 6th Bukit Jelutong Plant Exchange was even better than previous . Why? Because this time we had the 1st Flea Market. Fuiyoh..... exciting.
Two days before the event, Mamarazzi sat down and labelled all the plants that we were donating.
This time there were around 6 boxes of plants only . No worries la. Each boxes have more than 20 plants in there.
Not enough time to root everything as Mamarazzi was busy with mooncakes. That's why she just pull out those which she had no time to propagate from the
jungle garden. It was hillarious looking at her pulling up the baby banana tree and the kantan. Landed on her
butt bottom a couple of times.
On the day itself, we were one of the earliest there. This time, Mamarazzi booked/reserved a table at the Flea Market for me to sell books, honey Lime, grape fruit marmalade , Aloe vera , figs cuttings and seeds.
Yup...she said school holiday coming and new school year going to start. If I want to go for school trip, I had better earn the fare for the trip and money to pay for the new school books.
Happy to announce that thanks to Papa and Kaw Kaw's help , I managed to earn enough for my trip and books fees with some extra change. Oh ya...thanks to BBW too.
Speaking of......
The
Big Bad WOlf is coming back again in December 2017. Location
MIECC, The Mines Seri Kembangan. The sale will open
257 hours straight starting from
8th December to 18th December!
Time for me to go hunting again!
What was Mamarazzi doing while I was busy selling? She was helping at the Registration counter. Very happy to note that more people came this round and there were many plants donated generously by the visitors. And they have been "trained' to label the plants properly by now.
Yes, it is very important to label the plants so that the new owners knows what plant it is. Not everyone are expert gardeners. Many are newbies. So labelling the plants helps a lot . Very happy to see at least one of the donor even took the trouble to print out the "Info Sheet" for the plant that he donated and attached them to the plants.
While waiting for the plant exchange event to begin, visitors walked around and visited the booths available there.
There were around 20 booths selling various stuff. There are fertiliser, soil, seeds, toys, books, cakes, honey, LED lights, umbrellas and plants.
But I see, the most popular stall was Uncle Eric's stall . He was selling fruit plants at a very affordable price. Fruiting Vietnamese Apple only for RM30 a pot, raspberry RM35, Variegate Lime RM25 or was it RM15 and a few other plants. Harga durian runtuh weiiiiii.
It was.... omg... exciting and tiring day for me.... I straightaway zonked out when got into the car. Tiring but fun. Thank you very much to Bukit Jelutong Green Rangers and BJRA for coming up with this exciting event.
