Jake mate,your little Janet is a proper little Princess.You and Mac must be so proud of her.

I think you are correct about the fish being carp.If I am not mistaken they are Soro Brook Carp.

Maybe our resident fish expert RBH can confirm that when he is about next......(or give us the correct species)

Not long to go before your are back with your loved ones again mate.........and Frank

Mixing the fertilizer for the rice ...

Old guy just down the road from me has bigger melons than Shaggy! (well I know different type!_ )

But the corn in same area not so happy.... too dry....

Mixing the fertilizer for the rice ...

Does anyone know what the brown fertilizer is that is being mixed with urea is called.It is like drawing teeth around here

to find out what it is.There used to be a lot of it used around here in the past but I haven't seen any for a while.I want a

bag of it for something I am growing.

I am pretty sure it's 16 20 0 .... Ron, That is what is on the back of the truck here, I'll try and find the images of when we loaded the Pickup at the fertilizer plant!

That was a different trip, so may take a while to find!

Thanks for that but don't go to any trouble,it,it's really that I haven't asked the right person and not being able to speak very much thai

doesn't help.I know someone that has some left over from a bag bought 5 years ago purchased from a place some distance away.I will

see if I can get a small amount of that to carry around and show it to anyone that I am talking to.With a bit of luck,he may still have the

bag although it was split up between two people.I see both of them every day so hopefully one of them will have the bag.For some strange

reason the wife is not being very helpful on this.

Maybe I am behind the tmes but the color of fertilizer as a guide to its proprties is a new one on me. It would seem that a variation in color would be due to a different producer.

I can't find the other pics ..... but have got the flocking birds out looking for it.....

Hope not signs of trouble in paradise with wifey, not co-operating

She probably no understand that fertilizers are different colours and perhaps different with the different manufacturers ?

^ Slapout could be correct!

No sign of trouble with the wife but she can be pigheaded at times if she thinks I am going to a lot of trouble to track down something that I want but she thinks is unnecessary and costly.She should understand about fertilizers being on the land.for the 1st 40 years of her life.

Since an earlier post of yours that showed the bag of 16-20-0 fertilizer,I spoke to a sister in-law who lives next door.She said hop on her motorbike then she took me 200 metres up the road and 2 minutes later we were back home with a bag of 16-20-0 and 720 baht poorer.That's how easy it was by speaking to the right person.Thankyou very much for providing me with the lead that enabled me to track it down.

[samuijimmy]

Good you're sorted Ron! Seems to me they paid 800 baht per bag, down Songkhla way, and that was two or three years back .... 40 bags if I remember!

Now if the darn dog with move... we can get some work done!

[shaggy1969]

Old guy just down the road from me has bigger melons than Shaggy!

Whooa Jimmy......that's a whopper,but ermmm.....the ones I posted here were just babies compared to theses ones (same stall)

Nice work with helping Ron out with his fertilizer Jim.

Your plastic bag farm helped me out also.

I took these photos a couple of years ago but didn't have a clue what type of trees they were......now I do !!!

Wonderful photos tobacco man !!!

That is a beast of a machine,did you also get a crack at driving it mate or were you just riding shotgun?

[shaggy1969]

Just wanted to wish you all a Happy Song Kran.

May the rains come and bring life back to your lands.

Looks like my two are armed and ready

[samuijimmy]

Thanks for the comments Shaggy! Pleased to help when/ where I can!

Happy Songkran to everyone too!

Ducks on the run.... too bad I was in the back of a moving truck when I saw these, there were hundreds of them.... not quiet in focus!

The fertilizer I'm looking for has an organic component hence the brown colour.

[IsaanAussie]

The stuff you are looking for is probably 0-0-60. A brown/orange colour.

Hi.Were they ploughing it because the tobaco had finnished its life or were thet just sick of it?

Hi cobbler,

The remaining tobacco you see there is regarded as worthless. Good to see you like it here.

Yours,

DAL.

Ma and Pa NaPungs home.....quiet at the moment but at the weekend there could be up to 30 old guy's sat around the TV watching the Muay Thai boxing (and maybe having a little flutter )

Rice fields
