Some of my red Dragonfruits are flowering two months earlier than last year.

Two weeks ago we had four nights in a row of good rain as well as that, every 

morning I put the hose over the whole stand making sure all is wet.

Looks like I might have tricked the stand into thinking the wet season had come early.

Here is the first flower from the above and there are 3 more plus numerous buds appearing, amazing two months ahead of last year.

Did you by any chance go out late at night a look at the flowers?

No, I need my beauty sleep ( mates reckon I should stay in bed much longer) , that shot was taken around  6.30 am.

Here we go again a few more of Loie, prep work for planting, irrigation and finally running in drip lines after planting, all in all a good trip and a lot accomplished.

 

First lot are mainline going in, 8.5 PVC 100mm x 850 meters, hard work but once it's in it is done finished, stand pipes every 150 meters for our drip system.

[petitewife]

This lot general prep work, planting and submain installation for drip in total we have 8 zones on this block 150m in length each and fed from buried submains, you can see the 50mm x 40mm step down sub mains with the black connection jumpers ready for drip tape to be connected, important to bury your submains this keeps any heavy material that gets by filters trapped in these sub main lines lower than the drip tape emitters and helps to stop with blockages, you will see air/vacuum breaker and ball valves on the standpipes each end of the submains, we flush these lines every time we operate the drip irrigation.

[petitewife]

Here we are another small block planted for next years planting of a large block we have, here is the team spraying pre emergent herbicide the day after planting.

Horrible stuff but keeps the seed from germinating for at least 90 days if applied as per directions.

 

Different shot of this block and different time frame, the last few are crop on 11th of May, no weed growth and this block was planted 3rd of March.

 

When it comes to herbicides you get what you pay for...8)

RIP Aussi Russell....

 

 

Hi there guys,

 

I'm sorry I have not posted here for some time, I have plenty of new farming pics just give me a bit.

 

I'm not sure if you are all aware but our friend and my best mate of 35 years Aussi Russell passed away 26th of December at home in Australia, it was sudden, we are all still shocked.

 

Anyhow I didn't post here out of respect to my mate who loved Thailand and wanted more than anything to reside here full time, which was only a few years away.

 

Well RIP Russell, just thought I would let you all know as he loved this site and all the farm chat.

 

The world is a lesser place without Russell in it......8(

 

You will always be my best mate Big Fella...

 

Regards

Craig

Drip Irrigation filters I built up at home in Phuket, then we drove another load of gear North 1800 kms North.

 

We build everything our self saves us so much money and shopping around on the net is perfect, items for the filters we sourced from,

China

USA

Israel

UK

All at great prices, I built up 2 secondary units in the photos and 1 main unit also here.

 

In total took me / us wife and I 3 months between going away to work and balancing home life to build all 3 units.

 

These may be interesting to some of you, it's all about farming.
