Purple color crepe



I realized that blue pea flower is only being used in Asian foods, such as nasi kerabu, nyonya kuih & drink. I am trying to enlarge the uses of this beautiful blue pea flower in my meal as I have them a lot in my garden.


Last few weeks, I tried to use blue pea flower in Western food pulak. I extracted the blue color from dried blue pea flowers and mixed it in crepe batter & the crepe came out with nice romantic purple color.

Besides its role as colorant, you can take the flower as ulam. Scientific studied had showed that blue pea flower exhibited antimicrobial activity  & antidiabetic activity

Read the scientific articles if you do not believe them...hehe..

Tut @ air layering

Tut?

Have you ever heard about tut?

If yes, have you ever make the tut yourself?

For me, tut is a way to propagate a tree/plant that you already have. Ya, i mean you wish to have another plant even though you already have one.

For example, i already have one mulberry tree, & i wish to have another mulberry tree to bear me more mulberry fruits. Well, most of us know that mulberry can be easily propagated through cutting.

Tut is another option for those peoples that
- fail to propagate plant/tree through cutting,
- and also those peoples that wish to get a bigger plant/tree at a shorter time.

To get started,

You need a plastic bag (approx.15cm x 30 cm), tali rafia, cutter & a handful of damp soil.

Look for an ideal stem (the bigger the stem, the bigger the plant that you will get) and use your cutter to remove the entire outer bark layer of the stem. This is also known as girdling or ring barking.

Cover or wrap the wound with the damp soil, followed by plastic bag. Tied both end of the plastic bag.

Your tut will be ready in 1-2 months time when substantial amount of roots can be seen.

Cut the branch off right below the plastic bag.

& Horray...the ready root ball is now ready to be planted!

That's it! You got a new plant.
