That is an exceptional photo for the Farm Photos thread with the sacks of feed, tractor, newborn and your cutie all wrapped up in one. Congratulations all the way around!

First ever dragonfruit picked

Here it is cut and halved.( We could get 20 or more from the whole set up and I would be happy with that for the 1st year )

This crew worked all day in sometimes heavy rain. We could hear them talking and laughing all day from the house.

I never noticed it before either, but my wife says it is common. They don't use it for every row, but every few meters to keep things straight.

[samuijimmy]

^ perhaps it depends on how much beer or whiskey they drunk the night before

Down south the fields are so large they have to use these dang fangled machine to harvest the larger fields ..... rice sown by throwing seed by hand too .... !

[Ron19]

This large Longon tree is absolutely loaded and unfortunately most of them will remain there unless they can find a way to pick the ones

higher up.The white stripe you can see/middle top is not a fault but a jet stream.

My mistake,it is a Lumyai tree not a Longon tree.

Following shaggy's lead and trying to get away from using sprays to kill the weeds.The whole banana plantation has been sprayed twice in recent times but they just keep on coming up again.I now use a thai hoe to chip the grass away,it is work in progress as you can see.I know the same thing is going to keep on happening but am feeling better about not using sprays and believe me I am not as fit as I once was after being retired for 7 years.I have to limit the amount of area that I do each day rather than get right into it and risk the unwanted fate of finishing up in a box.

Ron , mate , just lay out some black plastic or clear plastic in between the rows for a day or 3 , will keep the ground wet and kill the weeds in the process . Try this with an old fertilizer bag or something similar to start with , a lot more easy than chippin' out grass mate .

The heat from the sun will nail those weeds in no time !

Found this Snakehead Fish waddling across the field today. Apparently they can live out of water for about four days and walk kilometers. The better half scooped him up and threw him in our pond. These are considered some of the best tasting fish in Thailand, so the critter is lucky he didn't cross paths with someone else!

Where are the Pinapples? Another weed problem The problem with weeds is people let them go to seed before cutting them back.... if round up is used, it just takes too long to work.... so almost a waste of time anyway!

not sure that Sunshine's suggestion with plastic works so well with perennial weeds like grass they come back from the roots too easily....

Watch out Mama is out with the chopper!

Hidden amongst the grass and weeds, unhappy looking Pineapples! .....

I had a go at this for an hour or so, Pineapples are not the easiest plant to weed whack around...especially at his stage . a few smaller ones lost their heads!

All finished, it's just a matter of maintenance now to keep ahead of it.The row running back from Jimmy's pineapple is one that the sprayer missed completely so I did it myself using a little hand sprayer (wouldn't want to do that every day).The point about that is nothing has come up again as opposed the two rows alongside that I knocked down this morning.

OK the disappeared images!!! they were still on the camera ... so re uploaded them ... one of life's mysteries as to what happened

Pineapples and weeds don't mix!

for Ron.... the brown grass at back has not been sprayed with Round up.... just turned that colour!

[Goompa]

I am having similar issues as well !

Makeshift tobacco drying shed.

Nice to see you out in the fields again, Jimmy.

I wonder how Shaggy's doing.. I hope he'll do a quick report soon.

[Ron19]

Rough load.

Your new E-tan. I notice the decent, basic RT140 engine.. Can I ask where it was built?

Could you please include it here for the Etan enthousiasts amongst us?
