First Pumpkin
Harvested our first pumpkin today. It is actually a variety of Japanese squash, weighing in at 2kg. We saw one sold at Hock Choon for RM10.50 per kg.
Barely 6 hours after harvesting it, it is changing color nicely to a dark golden-brown.
Can't wait for the aging period to be over to taste it.

What's This Fruit? Looks like a passiflora.
Saw this fruit hanging from a wild vine. Never seen it before. Anybody have any idea what it is? Looks like a passiflora. Any ideas?

Logging - Who Benefits? Part II
There's this report in the Star today, headlined:
Chopped down in the name of reforestation
by Geetha Krishnan
The report clearly illustrates that the people and the country do not benefit from logging. Instead it illustrates a cynical abuse of power and of our laws.
Read the full report here:
