HERE TODAY GONE TOMORROW

Behind my school library and in the Herb Garden, we have planted a few fruit trees, some herbs and also vegetables. I bought the fruit trees about a year ago and they are beginning to bear fruit. The calabash plant was planted by my colleague, Encik Shahidan who is in-charge of the garden and it too has begun to bear fruit. However, we find that before we can get to taste the fruits of our labour, they have been harvested without our knowledge. So I usually take photos with the vegetables or fruits before they disappear.

It is sad, isn't it? There are people who just take things without asking. They know jolly well that I bought the plants and that my library assistant, the gardening teacher, my librarians and I are the ones who tend the garden but they have the heart to not let us sample the first fruit of our toil. For your information, on Friday my assistant and I discovered that a few of the calabash gourds were already harvested and the person(s) who did it damaged some of the vines and part of the plant.
