Thread: Japanese House

Now that the rainy season is here, time to seed the new grass. Someone knows where I can get grass seeds? There is so much surface to cover that lawn patches will be too much money, I think that I have to seed it. Where can I find seeds?

To give you an idea of the surface.

seeds and Turf available in Cnx Plant and garden market, next to Big C shopping centre Super Hi way before Doi Sutep junction,
thats an awesome project OM, Best of Luck.

^ Do you mean next to Tesco Lotus?

Plants around the house grow, especially during the rainy season.I would like to know the name of that fruit.

Somebody knows the name of this fruit?

Potted flowers in the house grow also very fast, they will be big when I come back to Thailand.Lotus also multiply quickly in the pool filter.
The stairs going down to the pool

The stone walls are raised beds to grow vegetables.The parking, from the second floor.

In front of the Big house, 30 truckloads of black dirt to help the grass that will be put there.

More than 1000 square metres of purchased grass. It will grow sideways and fill the gapsThe romantic gazebo in the middle of the lawn will be covered with climbing flowers

This grass requires lots of water to establish itself, rain is not enough, especially the first few days

The sides of the fish tank on the right will stop eroding, the one on the left will be filled.

They look like passionfruit to me.

Before it is filled, the fishes will have to be removed! Let's jump in!

It is... looks like the purple variety (when ripe). Google Passiflora edulis

I just published a web site to invite people for a stay on the farm, with a minimum of 10 days. Tell me what you think.

Looks interesting, although you might want to go back through and proof read what you wrote, at least in English. For example, where is Tahiland ?
Is that Canadian French ? If I recall, there are significant differences between Canadian French and French. The French family I lived with in Provence, way back when, well their son went to Quebec one time and had no idea what the hell they were saying.

Bon chance !

Be our guests!
Offer yourselves a stay on a farm of the North of Tahïland

" Be our guests " means that they do not pay !!!

Better to say ...... " Stay with us !!!

Have a restful stay on a modern farm in the Far North of Thailand "



I think 10 days is much too long .

gipsy how do you tell the difference between yellow and purple passion fruit just by looking at photos of the unripe fruit?

April 22, 2015, 14:30. A rain storm with thunder comes to cool the air. From 34oC (91oF) down to 28oC (81oF). Made me think of you faithful readers of this tread (all 140 000!).
I had some more trouble with the filter, actually 7 cracks in the cement on the side right after the earthquake. I had failed to put steel bars in the cement... Since it was my third essay at waterproofing, my wife decided that she would take over and fix it HER way. I showed humility and accepted.
There was a long wait, we have many other works on the farm. I had to change the water of the pool once this year, the top water could not be removed by the pump because the empty filter stopped the level of the water from reaching the scuppers.
Lots of rubber tree seeds fell in, with the ashes of the March fires,and water got to 28-30oC, which ended as a soup... I used the vacuum cleaner, but lost control when I left 3 weeks to France in June for reasons of air pollution.
I will post photos tomorrow, or when the sun comes back.
Enjot life, there is only one, at least one at a time!
I enjoy swimming every day, spends a hour a day with a net to clean the top of the water. to be able to do so, it is not completly full.

Grass has been growing sideways.

The filter fills up slowly. Next year, it should be complete, with edible water plants.

We're now changing the sides of the filter. The sloping sides were where the cracks appeared. So...
We had rain yesterday, big rain, and we have not yet cleared it out.

Now :

The flower plants of the filter are stocked around this tank.
