    If anyone ever wondered what a difference a bit of water can make here is the answer.

    3 weeks ago I posted some pictures of my "row of sticks"

    Now 3 weeks later after trying to water them every second day they look like this.

    Unfortunately I might have to cut back on the watering as many people in the are having their bores go dry (not because of me) and the water storage they use for the village supply is drying up. My wife works at the Amphur for the village and yesterday they had a big meeting about the water supply issues.


    Anyway much to my wife's angst I went out and spent some money on this.

    Does a good job and I had to make the net you see behind it in the picture to capture all the crap it threw out.
    Now to refining the compost technique.

    ^^ Yes. I bought two from a stand at the annual Red Cross Fair - 50B each. They are both doing well and I took five cuttings, which all rooted OK, from one of them a few months ago.

    Warrick thanks, they are now on my list to hunt down. We have quite a few Mulberries as well, easy to grow and take cutting and yep tasty and healthy but have o keep them clipped down as they shoot up to 15+ feet and then you can't reach the fruit.

    These are Date Palms that I grew from seed. I did not expect them to sprout and I will probably have to find a home for them as I really haven't got room. Planted on 22nd Nov.

    Not a good picture (it was a bit bright outside with reflection off the wall) but these are Mulberries. Very tasty stirred into my morning yoghurt
