just the normal stuff, biscuits, bread, instant noodles, rice and other canned stuff if we have the time to cook all that. Normally we go with an operator that provides all meals but this trip, am doing all the buying and carrying and cooking ourselves.

2012-01-19T08:03:45.293+08:00

eventually maybe they might find it but i wasnt going to wait. i felt like an idiot. after that i just planted them on their sides so the dirt would be right next to either side of the end of the seed.
well one thing i could do is try to graft onto these existing seedlings occasionally. some of them are D28 i think its called and the other ones are just kampung durians. yeah durian wood is very soft. supposedly the filipinos were able to force it to fruit at a younger age by cutting off the top and shaping the tree a certain way. i dont know if it would actually work but it was an interesting idea and they had photos and a paper written to back it up.

2012-01-19T07:32:14.333+08:00

@vines, that's funny, wouldn't gravity cause them to sprout the right way no matter how you place the seeds? as long as you have them in soil or on the ground the roots should still grow downwards. You could try planting grafted plants instead of seedlings which will grow into enormous sizes. Durian wood is very soft and break easily so careful.

@vines, hehe am just a casual photographer.

2012-01-19T00:48:59.600+08:00

first time i planted durian seeds i got from malaysia i planted them all upside down. they sprouted with their roots in the air. i had to flip them all over. i still have maybe 4 or 5 large durian bushes. too bad they dont fruit until theyre enormous trees.

Yep, was thinking about upgrading to a "Sony Live" but think I'll hang on to the mini for a while. Really like the convenience of having a pocket phone that also takes nice photos.
