Today i was searching for something on my external hard drive and I came across some old photos.I realized that I still had many of the old farm and thought it was a shame to have them hidden away ...

wai2.gif , That's breathtaking, Shaggy.

The photo really doesn't do it any justice mate.That net was colossal.

Just after I had finished taking that photo one of the main struts broke on the boom.

The whole thing came crashing down.I wanted to take another photo of it broken but it didn't feel right.

I think this is a breath taking view too!

Everyone out early tending the farm... sadly this was all wiped out by floods later in 2005, my 2006 trip, none of this was there! sad.png

There are many of these crops of corn growing on slopes between Uttaradit and Nan with the majority of them being grown on slopes that any machine could not handle.What I would like to know is how do they do it as I'm certain that any person would have to be on hands and knee's to ascend the steepest slopes.Another thing I noticed was that corn was the only crop grown in this situation.I'm sorry that I could not get a better image to show how steep the slopes were.Next time I go that way I'll have to make a point of stopping to get better shot.

Hope you were expecting a beautiful photo of a rice field with a gentle flowing stream .

Sorry , I cant deliver that , but ..... obscurity ? No problem.

I took this shot from the air vent in a farm toilet. whistling.gif, Yes I brought my cam with me to the loo...

IMG_1530.jpg

DAL That is a fantastic break shot , looks like a panorama with bad beginnings and endings ,

And A farm toilet I can understand both before mentioned .

Hey , please enlighten me , sorry no pun intended , looks like upside-down onions.

Close, Goompa, shallottes, hung and left to dry. One day the union is growing in the soil, the next day the union is hanging on the farm ceiling. ~Union-life..

Oh you guys are being too nice giggle.gifxwub.png.pagespeed.ic.auE7ON7hrr.png

I think there is better pics here from you guys ... but that is good, I admit tongue.pngwhistling.gif

I cannot remember what camera I was using back then... but the greens seem to come out better than with my present Canon 60D ....perhaps it's the atmospheric conditions?

The crop is Garlic.... just about the only thing one sees in the area... makes one wonder about rotating crops? ...whistling.gif

In the back of the picture you can see a "farm house"... sadly as I said all washed away that same year... sad.png

I assume the "hay stacks" must be the leaves from the garlic.... no rice in that area... (what else could it be?)

DSC03263.JPG

this is another "farm house" different farm, they are spread out over a very large area ... so lots of small holdings i would guess... ?

DSC03260.JPG

close up... nice and clean... no weeds anywhere! thumbsup.gif

DSC03245.JPG

Certainly the rice growers I know in norhtern Songkhla have much better houses!

I awe(drool) at the sight of all that garlic, Jimmy. Especially the 3rd pic. I hope next season I get the chance to get my hands dirty working with garlic.thumbsup.gif

The gates are open...coffee1.gif

Is that the family home there DAL?

That tall tree on the far right of the photo(Betel tree I think) reminds me of Grandma's red teeth.

....No I haven't gone mad,all will come clear later thumbsup.gif

Corn on the left and emerging Soy on the right. There is a lot of both grown in this area.Sorry the photo is a little dark but the sun (behind me) hadn't come up above the horizon at the time.

OK we are back on Samui...wink.pngtongue.png

I took some friends over to see one of the several Hydroponic growers on Samui.... This grower does a good job .... thumbsup.gif

Hydro%2520farm%2520Oct%25204%252C%252025

Butter lettuce.... (this is what I had with my dinner this evening thumbsup.gif )

Hydro%2520farm%2520Oct%25204%252C%252025

Red leaf lettuce... probably has a name but I don't know it facepalm.gif

Hydro%2520farm%2520Oct%25204%252C%252025

Cos lettuce AKA as Romaine

Hydro%2520farm%2520Oct%25204%252C%252025

Nice roots!

Hydro%2520farm%2520Oct%25204%252C%252025

Fairly simple green house set up... you just need a good welder for the metal !.... roofing sheets, plastic, piping...pumps, the pots and Styrofoam sheeting ...and the fertilizer formulations of course!

At least I think simple,wink.png ... but then I have built a few green houses in my time!

Hydro%2520farm%2520Oct%25204%252C%252025

At least not problem with dealing with snow loads here! thumbsup.gif
