Kebun Bandar Cairo, Abbaseya

BismillahirRahmaniRahim.


 Hello peeps, i would like to share about my second project.
How to plant vegetables inside the pots in Cairo.
especially M'sian veges.


The most important part for this activities/hobby is knowing the type of the soil. In Cairo,we mainly can find 2 types of soil which are :

  • Turab Botani (well draining, loose and not so heavy). the price is Le 4/kg in 2015
  • Turab Baladi ( like clay soil,hardened when dry,quite sandy) the price is Le 3/kg.
btw,turob mean soil. We can find these soil in good quality at nursery. Mine, I bought them at 7th district,Madinet Nasr nearby DarusSalam bookstore. You need to ask,if not,they will give you turab baladi (especially when your arabic was not that strong,
"Atakallim 'arabi syuwaiyah2,maalish,mumkin auzza shuft awwalan" 
This is best dialog to divert or to cut prolongation of the discussion before they make fun of you.
Dont forget to buy fertilizer,(Simad). It is crucial esp planting vegetables in pots.

A Malaysian like me surely need Lemongrass (Serai), Tumeric leaves (Daun kunyit),Water spinach (Kangkung),Bean sprout ( taugeh). It is not that i'm not contented with veges in egypt. we just miss the flavour of our country, a malaysian is always a malysian eventhough you r living overseas. We missed to eat tomyum,kangkung masak belacan, rendang letak daun kunyit, taugeh goreng kicap.
Kalo x berusaha,susah la nak dpt.


'Hujan emas di negeri orang, hujan batu di negeri sendiri, lebih baik di negeri sendiri'
Sayur mesir ni byk,segar2. But i do grow up living and eating M'sia veges. it is part of me.

Fertilizers were really expensive,thus i learnt to make own diy fertlizer. It is easy. I learn it in fb group. Kebun Bandar : Jom Tanam Sendiri
  • Baja roti (Bread fertilizer) Put some bread in water with little oxygen ventilation till it fermented(2-4 days),then mixed with another gallon on of water.  It is hot to the plant,do not pour it to the leaves. dilute it. Important!!! Quarter of my kangkung leaves turn to yellow(burning) and dried when exposed to the solution.
  • Baja air basuhan beras ( Rice water fertilizer) 

For climate suitabilty: The best time to plant is from autumn-summer-fall (March till November).Commonly, they all start to wither in winter.

i'm just using a recycle bottle,plastic to make diy pots. Make sure the water draining system is at the best. But in my opinion, it depend on the veges that you love to plant. Kangkung does not need draining system. 

here are some pictures.

Lemongrass (Serai) 2.0 ( the first one was already harvested n we didnt catch any picture of it.)
It have high compartibility with turab botani. We started with 18 and at the end, got at least 42 of them. of course,at tht time we are using a slightly expensive fertilizer. a small box cost us le 5.
Sangat puas menanam. The need to be watered at least once/daily with good draining.

They are small,this is the 1st harvest during winter and overcrowded inside one paint bucket pot.
Tumeric in turob baladi, It was like planting in clay soil when we put to much water.
After 2 months, it start to have liquefactive necrosis. Not the right soil for the tumeric.
and halves of the leaves eaten by Coo...Coo (Pigeon sound)

Beware of them,buy net to protect the veges.Important.


Kangkung seed metamorphosed to cotyledon. Using recycled bottle, no draining. the more the water,the better the result.
Another group of Kangkung



turob botany really work like sponge,the absorb the water. Excess water will be drained if you put a hole at the bottom.

They start to produce an edible leaves. It is very easy to grow kangkung at  your apartment veranda/porch.

Ready to harvest. Kangkung masak belacan,kangkung letak dlm nasi goreng, kangkung goreng berlada. Kami yg kempunan kangkung. too much kangkung in one paragraph.

Ada orang dri ruang tamu merangkak laju,curios nak tengok..haha


Fresh to cook. So green.

Pandan tree,we want to cook Nasi Lemak with pandan, Pengat pisang with pandan, Pandan cake. But you will never find pandan in egypt. Thus we try to plant the here. I think it is because of winter,and we r using turab botani which contain plenty of water,the pandan seems to growing slowly and the root start to necrosis.I didnt used pots,and no draining. It does not grow well in winter,and my soil is not enough to plant another big tree. We gave a lot of pandan to our juniors



Pandan Leaves.

Rosemary  grows well, we love to see them growing happily inside the small pot at our balcony. It is better to grow in baladi,but we r using the botani.



Thyme doesnt grow well, all of the wither and dried after two months.
We put both of them together inside one pot.
Fresh thyme are indeed beautiful. SubhanAllah.
We love using thyme to cook steaks

.





Mini balcony with mini experimental hobby garden



It good to have some green colour when your mini balcony have this typical view of Cairo.
welcome to the real Egyptian town.


Others that we try are Garlic, Mints (Pudina),  Parsley (Daun sup). but no picture to show here.
Of couse we start to plant vegetables with failure. Our precious cekur died,dead because we (esp me) didnt know any basic in gardening( planting with pots). From there,we (I,myself) learn to search with pro (Internet).

This is my cute buddy(my daughter) who loves to see,love to pluck serai and kangkung.
We love nature.
I hope a few later, I will post about my mini experimental aquaphonic.
later 10-20 years how the development in M'sia.

Coretan Harkaki Understanding



Anak muda berangkat pergi,
Meninggalkan jejak penuh duri,
Berjumpa insan digelar murobbi,
Diajar makna amal islami.

Menaiki curam berhati-hati,
Pintu diketuk ganjil sekali,
Makanan mewah telah tersaji,
Mendengar kecaman penuh emosi.

Pejuang muda penuh prasangka,
Menyiasat perkara keliling mata,
Dalam diri penuh curiga,
Menyusun strategi memahami mereka.

Ayat cliché kerap berulang,
Dari dahulu hingga sekarang,
Telinga mendengar hati mengerang,
Helaan istigfar harakatnya panjang.

Be patient and understanding. Life is to short to be vengeful or malicious

seorang lelaki

Simpulan senyuman yg cuba diukir.

Sudah 6 tahun berlalu semenjak dulu,
Menangis meninggalkn ayah ibu,
Merentasi panorama langit biru,
Emosi yang kuat  kian sayu.

Jejak ke Arma menumpang ruang,
meniti hari kemasukan wang,
melihat arab asyik berperang,
ku doakan mereka bertenang.

Rumah bujang di depan gereja,
di kedai ammu,ku beli meja,
Semangat belajar macam nak gila,
berjalan ke kelas melintas kereta.

Solat zuhur di gami Nour,
handset dicuri semasa tidur,
Keranda jenazah disusun atur,
Arab diluar masih bertempur.

Ayam syawerma bersama roti,
Menikmati koshari gembira sekali,
Air paip di cawan besi,
Kutelan menghilangkan pedas berapi.

Musim kelakar namanya Shita,
Berebut mandi berbalut tuala,
Nafas berkabus di subuh buta,
selesai subuh dikejar anjing gila.

Tahun pertama tahun mencuba,
setiap perkara diamati peka,
Hidupnya girang berjiwa remaja,
Dipenuhi ibrah mentaati perintahNYA.

" pgi2 jln2 nk pergi mnuntut ilmu "

------ MELANCHOLIC-------- 

menurut kamus google;

  1. berasa atau memperlihatkan perasaan sedih atau dukacita (berkenaan (dengan) perasaan, wajah seseorang, dan sebagainya), dukacita, sugul
  2. bernada sedih (hiba) dan mengharukan (berkenaan (dengan) cerita, sajak, dan sebagainya
****
 faktanya~~

laluan ini bukanlah laluan yg pnjg
laluan ini bukanlah laluan gelap
laluan ini bukanlah laluan yg sunyi
which full wit sorrow
cume..


sedih
terasa sedih


bayangkan...betapa gmbira pun ..walaupun pada; hri  besday 
hari yg dlm hati ade taman
hari yg  langkah terasa ringan sekalipun

pasti kesedihan itu muncul

itulah jalan saya nk pergi University hari2


this street tought me on how to be humble
this street show me the reality of life of people which is much more harder than me..
 kebykn mereka org susah,kebykan mereka org islam,kebykn mereka warga2 emas,
dan mereka mempunyai zuriat yg ramai
mereka tidur di kaki lima jln , kiri dan kanan
beralaskn 'lihaf'=toto,dan tikar bersame anak2 mereka,mengharuhi saat suka duka bersame mnnggu ahli keluarga mereka di dlm hospital di rawat..

tringat mase dulu2 adik masuk ICU dulu,sendri pun tggu ahli parents sendri..dpt tahu adik masih hidup pun rase gembire,kenape?? die satu2 nyer adik yg saya ada.walauun jarak umur kami 9 thun..ahah

 kisah lorong...

lorong ini diapit oleh hospital kesihatn
hospital al-tuful (kanak2/pediatrics)
kolej dentistry dan kolej jururawat(mumarridah)

hampir setiap hari melihat  golongan ibu dan bapa menangis
mereka yg jln terenjut2,kebykn mereka mngalami lurching gait,N some of the waddling gait
diri hanya mampu memerhati,dan mendoakan mereka,xpi kerap juga  lupa...

kenapa..??sndri pun x tahu...


mereka yg meminta N mghrpkn bantuan sgt ramai
brg sesape yg pki kut putih,anda akn sentiase ditanya tntg ubat2 yg patut mereka ambil
so kuar kuliah xpyh pki bju putih tue,ilmu xcukup lgi..


peluang:
setiap hari  berpeluang bersolat jenazah..
dulu takut tgk jenazah,jenazah saudara pun takut,
first tyme nk pgg cadaver dkt lab pun takut
segala2 nya takut

kenapa..?? sndri pun x tahu...

ckit2 x tahu..
 bile nk tahu.....
itu pun saya x tahu...

apa2 un..bak kata haido 
tue lumrah..kita kan tgh blaja lgi

 
mereka menuggu  yg tersayang




lorong nie x gelap..cume camera x cukup pencahayaan
suasana seawal pgi,dh mula penuh, class pun x mula lgi
alhmdullah,smpi ke kuliah...
cara nk mnghilangkn kesedihan,dan strees blaja x phm2 maselecture tdi...MAKAN!
blik lalu jln tu lgi..dan kalau nasib baik,depan rumah ader tunjuk perasaan..
nk merasa adventure,so join skali.
nie tunjuk perasaan dpn cathedral st markos masa isu Kamela Shehata




wokeh...mood exam dh dtg blik....
doakan segalaye dipermudahkan ntuk saya dan rakan2


sekian


kepade mereka yg nk ke mesir dan terbaca post ni,x perlu takut mungkin dsndri yg terlbh sensitive,nie bru namanyer adventure,nie mase dh dekat revolusi,skrng InsyaAllah aman,yg suasana dekat lorong tue,dekat malaysia pun ada juga,suasana dekat hospiatal awam mmg macam nielah..jgnlah hrpkn suasana gesundheit institue dr patches adam.

an oldie song~~



"No Promises"
Hey baby, when we are together, doing things that we love.
Every time you're near I feel like I’m in heaven, feeling high
I don’t want to let go, girl.
I just need you to know girl.
I don’t wanna run away, baby you’re the one I need tonight,
No promises.
Baby, now I need to hold you tight, I just wanna die in your arms
Here tonight
Hey baby, when we are together, doing things that we love.
Everytime you're near I feel like I’m in heaven, feeling high

No promises.
Baby, now I need to hold you tight, I just wanna die in your arms
I don’t want to run away, I want to stay forever, through Time and Time..
No promises
I don’t wanna run away, I don’t wanna be alone
No Promises
Baby, now I need to hold you tight, now and forever my love
No promises
I don’t wanna run away, baby you’re the one I need tonight,
No promises.
Baby, now I need to hold you tight, I just wanna die in your arms
