Zenxin organic farm

oooh, i suddenly realized i haven blogged bout my visit to the Zenxin organic farm. went there last sunday. actually was quite worried it would be raining as usual but eventually God answered my prayer =) no rain, the clouds looked quite dark though, like warning us anytime there would be a heavy pour (and that happened just we were about to leave, stepping in the car, phew)

6 of us altogether on the day, my family (papa, mummy, sis, bro) & grandpa & i. firstly we were brought to the dragon fruit plantation. 

the flower, only blooms at night

 it's a cactus species. the flower blooms during night time. the plant can live up till hundred year (erm, not very sure, i'm now depending on my memory) but only the first 30~40 yrs it will bear fruit. and we need at least 2 plants to bear fruit. furthermore no bees or butterfly at night over here so we have to play the role of those insects by transferring the pollen manually

  

beside that there's this mulberry. the insects which make silk called cicada eat these. they sell mulberry tea leaves at the retail shop but each visitor was given  a few packs.

bought quite a number of food at the retail shop, such as veg, frozen seaweed tofu, pumpkin bun, chinese yam vermicelli, 龙须糖, nuts etc.

last but not least
