My daughter with a duck at my friend’s farm near our village. This really kindled our interest to start raising ducks. But first we need to dig a small pond. These grown-up ducks cost Rs.6500 a pair. The ducklings about Rs.500 a pair.
Green trunk coconut trees
Green trunk coconut trees?! Creeping fig (Ficus Pumila) is usually grown on walls but the Gardner at Radisson resort has grown these on coconut trees. BTW, these are my favourite creepers and planting 30 saplings to cover the walls of the farmhouse.

There’s this one particular nursery that deals mainly in fully grown trees. In this video, you can look at the fully grown, ready-to-plant, fox tail palms at Rs.3500 per tree.
