The Mango tree is fully harvested

 At the side garden, the mango tree that bears hundreds of fruits are ready to be harvested.  I stripped the whole tree of fruits using a pole and a ladder.  I would bring most of them to Bintulu to be shared with family members and friends there.  Friends and relatives in Kuching have been given the fruits today.   It is the joy of sharing the mangoes that makes today meaningful and gratifying.  It is one of those moments in life when giving is done freely and heartily.

A delicious looking tree

Fruits is the main topic on this 48th trip to Kuching.  The Mango tree is full of ripening fruits, bringing much joy and hearty conversation.  It's a gardeners's well-paid labour in kind.  In the Kambatik garden fruit trees are an integral part of the edible landscaping or 'Sara lanskap' in Malay.  There are more fruits to be harvested and they will appear in the next few posts.
