Popular Post David48 Posted August 14, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 14, 2013 Just for you DAL who thinks I never get down and dirty at the Farm. After the rain storm the other night, Farm Father was emptying a pond and moving the fish. He invited me along. in that mud ... shoes as we know them, were not an option. If you understand Racing Parlance, the track went from Heavy to Fast within 8 hours ... suck is the sun's heat and the composition of the soil. But I digress ... As this was the real action on the morning. . 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, you dont digress and I always like your thorough reports. This is all part of farm life, I see you are chipping in yourself. With respect to MFG of course, who knows how to run a farm. The infamous mud shoes: Make them fit your size, first; Let them dry and apply more soil to your liking If the shoe fits!........ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post samuijimmy Posted August 16, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2013 Great shots from VF as usual.... Rice growing in Songklha, seeded by hand...

Popular Post Bodrules Posted August 18, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2013 (edited) Nice photos Shaggy, you and VillageFarang raise the bar quite considerably! I am going to try and attach a photo of my rather humble 13 sq yard 'garden' here in sunny SE England, basically I hobby grow stuff, as I've always done allotment gardening since I was a kid back in the [censored as too long ago] , this year I tried my hand at sweetcorn (total 18 plants, so small beer compared to you guys) and peas (good for fixing N into the soil), really a small contribution to the thread. A shot of Derwent Water in the Lake District, Cumbria, Edit: Okay that didn't work, is there an idiots guide to uploading photos etc to the forum somewhere?

Popular Post David48 Posted August 18, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2013 ^^ Mate, your photos loaded correctly ... but you have a different system from that of villagefarang and Shaggy1969. They (typically) store there photos with a storage provider (maybe you have heard of cloud computing?) and their photos are automatically large. I don't do that and I upload my photos from my computer ... just like you did and when they are clicked from the 'thumbnail' size they are also large. You did the right thing ... no need to worry.

Bodrules Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Cheers lads, I'll check out the thread and see about trying to load from the cloud, as I usually store stuff in Picsa - just in case the laptop or mobile go walkabout...weird how it doesn't full size photos uploaded from your PC but does from the net, wonder why that is...ah well not a web site programmer so my xml and html skills aren't all that so probably any explanation will be over my head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaggy1969 Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 Hello Bodrules Thanks for sharing your photos and may I second Davids warm welcome to the farming forum Thank you also for you compliment regarding my photos....but for me it is purely beginners luck ....unlike VF and many of the other posters on this thread.

Popular Post Bodrules Posted August 18, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2013 No worries shaggy thanks to you all for the welcome, with regard to the rice planting work that looks like an absolute killer after a couple of hours! Remember my mum going on about picking spuds on the farms up in Scotland to earn a few £ more, she said the first week of it your back feels like it has been dipped in molten iron The second week ain't much better Anyway, here's a couple of shots across Morecambe Bay, from the Ulverston side (birthplace of Stan Laurel, worlds shortest canal and Glaxo's factory in the 30's); Shot up toward the River Leven, looking at the railway viaduct Two swans err swanning about in the outflow of a tidal Beck (local dialect word for stream) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RedBullHorn Posted August 19, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2013 Hi all, I'm back...been away harvesting my fishes and doing final pond clearing. Here are all the photos, don't know which one to upload so i uploaded them all. Harvest days - Wholesalers and suppliers. Pond clearing day.

Popular Post Ron19 Posted August 19, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2013 Have now put a cladding of hessian bags around each post of my dragon fruit setup.This is done beause the cactus plants are " Epiphytic " and their adventitious roots which can be seen in the photo's are used as support and to collect water and nutrients from their surroundings,enabling the plant to survive if the base is severed.This feature also allows the plants to be successfully grown from cuttings. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David48 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 RBH ... I really enjoyed your photo-set on catching your fishes. The Farm Father did likewise just recently, but his was to transfer the juvenile Plan Nin to the larger grow out pond.

Top marks to Ron also for his Dragon fruit set up....nice bracket mate I noticed a few pages back that David and DAL were showing their muddy feet. Did I get my feet dirty? Nope,because I've got some paddy socks.A bargain at 20 baht a set Me in my paddy socks and cheap neoprene shoes (40 baht a pair )....ideal for planting rice and learning how to plow with Iron Buffalo (photos to come) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
