Well done Shaggy.

This is definitely one of the best threads to keep coming back to and see what has been added. Sadly I have been a bit slack in the photo department......too busy fighting with all the weeds......especially now the wet season has kicked in.

Cheers.

Hi there Rsquared,long time no see,good to hear from you again

Thank you for your kind words regarding the thread.

Hope you get a break in the weather to show us how your Palm trees are doing (weeds and all).

Awsome looking pig Shaggy..

We had one about the same size when I was a kid...

Great fun to ride as an 8 yr old

Yeah she was a beauty mate,a real gentle giant.

Eight years old and on a pig that big,it must of felt like you were riding and elephant.

Are you going to give us any clues regarding those photos you posted a while back?

Although these are coloured and varied, these mushrooms are considered 'dirty' and 'dangerous' to eat by some villagers from my family. They told me they would never buy these. I figured there is a way to prepare different kinds of mushrooms and make them safe to eat. I never found out....

Great action picture, Shaggy!

Dirty they may of been,but dangerous these mushrooms certainly are not and fetch a good price at market especially the red topped ones.

But I suppose different people in different areas have different tastes.....strange they would call them dangerous though.

The shed finished,even with shelves.

Sadly thai finished,will have to finish earthworks and clean up the mess they left but thats ok.

Looking the done deal now Jo

Did you manage to pull your tractor out yet?

Hi shaggy,

Tractors out took about 10 minutes,wont be venturing to far on it now.

[shaggy1969]

@ DAL keep up the good work mate

@ Carlos Your not making it easy mate...

I am going to hazard a guess at a gardening shop complete with nursery.

The eggs are easy.....Sunny side up,Over well and Over cooked

@ Ron thanks for rotating Carlos's photos,he's getting better.....two out of three ain't bad

@ Farmerjo happy you got the tractor out what crops are you growing at you farm?

@ soidog you are a man of many talents,I bet you never have to go to the market to buy vegetables.

Our neighbors preparing the Siam tulips they gathered from the mountain.

Siam tulip or summer tulip (Curcuma alismatifolia) is an edible flower from the ginger family.

This flower only grows once a year and is used as a spice in cooking.

Hi shaggy,

What am i growing = nothing.

Had 17 rai leveled for rice fields which i have decided to let settle till the dry season.

The rest is just growing weeds.

When this beauty turns up,again in dry season wil do some leveling ready for next year.

I basically spent my budget to put a crop in on my new shed,giving the land a rest will be good for it.

Definitely money well spent,did you manage to clean up the mess the builders left?

I am not very familiar with machinery but that looks like some kind of till in your photo....is it?

@ David48

I kinda like this one David,taken the same evening as the one you like.

Pure luck to catch the sun at that time.

This was my first and last attempt of growing my own veggies on Samui.... back in 2009.... too may bugs and too much work!!!

Although I have grown a few things like Italian Basil and a few chillies since.

Flowers and shrubs are more up my ally ..... or visiting farms and watching others do the work ! !

Today, marks an anniversary of my first post on Thai Visa in 2009 ....(cannot remember what that was, now!)

I never imagined I would have made close to 4000 posts, but the most enjoyable places on this forum have been Farm Photos and Photography forum, if I had not moved house this week, I may have made the 4000th post by now!

Thanks everyone, great to be around positive people !

Thanks Shaggy, just fun coming here... great bunch of people and photos !

I had not realized how much "stuff" I had accumulated in five to six years.... This house is a different configuration and some things don't fit.....

I gave a few things away to some of my old neighbours, I think they might be getting more... Several helped willingly with the move and none wanted money .... ...... (although they got some anyway!)

It's either a very well staged photo ....or the pressures of fish farming are getting too much
