Another patch of lemon grass and behind that ,I've started to prepare the ground for chillies.Everything

So that's what lemon grass looks like then

Ladies with big Knives.

Seeing the Missus with that big old knife in her hand is giving me some serious doubts as to whether I should keep ducks again in the future

Watch out for old goats with long horns too....

My wife and I used to grow it in Australia and they thrived in all conditions.The conditions are most probably not the same as yours but we did have frosts from time to time.They did not seem affected but were growing in a protected area.

Nice ! With AC cabin...

Anyone happen to know what this fruit is?.... leaves look a bit like a Passiflora vine .... I could not get in closer to get better photo of the fruit! ...

My source tells me it is called Phuc cow ( at least that is what it sounds like to me )and is edible.Here is another one from a place just up the road from us.I am sure it is the same,even the leaves look the same although your image has some mango leaves in amongst the others.

Is there anyone out there having trouble posting images onto thaivisa ?

Seems ok to me Ron , I will delete / edit this one

Ah Thanks Ron... .....there might have been a Mango tree above the trellis ... (can't remember now )

An Aussie neighbour thought it was a passion fruit.... is that the same same as Phuc cow? he said passion fruit comes in different colours and sizes.....in OZ land anyway! (?)

(be careful repeating those words, too many times! )

ready bagged fruit ...

My red fleshed dragon fruit is flowering for the 1st time.Fingers crossed that it will produce fruit as you will notice the two brown flowers that

ants have destroyed.I check on it many times a day and any ants within cooee cops a spray of the appropriate product.There is another

flower on a branch ( ? ) next to this one.

Sorry, Shaggy, I'm just not a landscape- kind of guy.

However, I did find this misty morning duck farm(plastic slum house on the left) with tobacco field sunrise for you. I went to meet the ducks also, I'll show them later. Funny animals they are.
