if i remember right from issan ozzi tony,

you can dry this and feed it to animals,, something like that anyway,,lol

The fish love it ... but it's not fed to them.

I presume because the fish eat it all, thus no replacement plant to grow again.

Good protien from what I know.

But I diverse.

Most of my stuff is captured at Dawn as that is when the Farm is most active with stuff you might be interested in.

Some more Farm photos below ...

Here is the Farm Father skimming the pond for the small rubbish prawn to feed to other fish.

He does this loop time and time again.

What's going to be the fate of the mice (??) in that cage shaggy? Surely it isn't the Hunger Games for them?

I'll second Shaggy's comments, it's been a pleasure to see all your sterling work, as a lurker and a bit part poster

I'll actually have some photos to contribute later this year, as I'll be in SE Asia with business initially, then tourist mode, planning to go to Bangkok, Hua Hin and then Ooop North - or wherever my feet carry me

Hope you've already eaten scunner,......maybe this photo will answer your question?

They are actually field rats,quite tasty in fact but a bit fiddly to eat.

Look forward to seeing your photos

Oh I'm fine shaggy, after all, I won't be eating them Have eaten the odd exotic item, so maybe one day I'll add some free range rice fed field rat, after all organic raised meat is da in ting with the Yuppies

Mountain Dew squash .... along with regular squash!

The legend of Bigfoot comes to Thailand!

Up to his neck in the swamp collecting the lily seed heads for the market.

He offered me some when I walked past him when he was starting the pump to put water into the paddy.

But no problem for me to get my own.

Noticed this morning that a banana plantation I bike past often has had concrete posts put throughout the hillside it sits on. Haven't had a chance to ask my wife yet what is growing on them but it looks like some sort of cactus.

^^ Dragon fruit?

Here are some of mine which are growing up through the frame fitted to the post.They are now much more advanced and hanging down from the frame.Hopefully will see some fruit this year Fingers crossed.

Thanks guys! Looks like yet another thing we can plant around the digs.....

Those lotus leaves / stems are darn prickly... not a fun thing to do! Robby ^ some where I have same kind of pic with a kid doing that....

Moving on,

buffalo feed.... a daily chore of driving around to find stuff they will eat!

easier to let them wander in the bush and be able to wallow.... in the mud too!

I will have to get more thai minded and not get upset when I see things like this.I see this pair of old bantams every morning while I'm

walking the dogs.The pair were inseparable,very rarely more than a foot apart and when I saw this today I couldn't help feel for the

rooster as you can see, he didn't want to leave his mate even now.

^^ Ron, ran out of likes ...

We had a Farm Dog die ... one of the others, inevitably one would,

during the course of the day come and sit by the spot where the Farm Dog is buried.

^^ Ron, you've really nailed that photo ...

^^ Ron, you've really nailed that photo ...

Thanks for that,I'm happy with the way the new camera is working out although I'm still learning how to drive it.That one was taken with the camera in one hand and a restless rottweiler cross on a leash in the other hand but i must admit he is starting to know when I am using the camera he is required to keep still.

I have a new tripod on the way that should arrive here within the next hour so what I will do for sunrises will be to go on the motorbike for the shots and then walk the dogs after.Sunsets are a different story as I have to talk to the wife about being allowed out after what happened last time.

Birds with buffaloes ... Songkhla ...or is that Buffaloes with birds?

Trying to walk across a harvested sugarcane field is not easy at the best of times,

Avoiding stubbing your toes on the sugarcane stumps and trying not to slip on the leaves and flowers is hard enough

without having the added difficulty of carrying a bundle of cane on your shoulder.Hard work indeed.

FISH FARMING - Relaxed Style

This guy trying to get his fish net...

fag in mouth too!

Now loaded

Quick get it home!

Young Buffalo for hire .

Cashew nut season has started...on Samui, what a tedious job!

Too bad the BBQ them to death.... but I guess it saves their fingers ... I gather the oil eats away the skin~

Does the oil eat away the skin on the fingers of the cashew nut collectors or does the oil eat away the skin on the cashew nut ?

I am not familiar with cashew nut production , I do however remember that a guided tour in Phuket years ago included a view and rundown of the cashew nut process , but I was otherwise amiss in avoiding the ^ Klingon ^ that accompanied me on that reconnaissance !

SWAMBO has no idea either
