Last weekend we did a lot of work in the garden and around the house. I still have a long list of repairs that are needed around the house and fence.
The landscape by the river is changing according to new season. My neighbours’ tomato gardens are doing quite well and the vegetable patches are getting bigger. I hope this year they will fetch much better price than last year. Cheap imported vegetables from Laos and China have made life quite difficult for farmers and local people here.
I have bought about ten different kinds of seeds for my gardener. Last season she made quite a bit of money from selling the produce to the local market. Her lemon grass field is growing greener, the previous flood destroyed her lemon grass field. This time she is planting both tomatoes and lemon grass, some long beans and cabbages.
My neighbour’s vegetable patch has protective sun screen and insect screen this year. There are going to be lots of long beans soon. So I am looking forward to all these fresh and organic vegetables this winter.
อาทิตย์ที่แล้วเราได้ทำงานหลายอย่างในสวน และรอบบ้าน แต่ก็ยังมีรายการยาวหลายรายการที่ต้องทำ เกี่ยวกับการซ่อมแซมบ้านและรั้ว และการทำร่องสำหรับระบายน้ำฝน เราได้เรียนรู้จากการสังเกตสภาพแวดล้อมในฤดูกาลที่ผ่านมา ภาพวิวที่นี่ก็เปลี่ยนไปตามฤดูการเพาะปลูก ช่วงนี้ชาวบ้านจะไถที่ให้พร้อมสำหรับการปลูกพืชฤดูหนาว แถวบ้านมีคนปลูกกะหล่ำปลีและข้าวโพดกันมาก ส่วนแถวเพื่อนบ้านนี่พากันปลูกมะเขือเทศ
เราซื้อเมล็ดพันธ์ผักมากกว่าสิบอย่างให้คนสวน ก่อนน้ำท่วมเขาขายมะเขือพวงได้เงินมากมายเพราะคนกินติดใจ ราคาค่อนข้างดีเพราะไม่มีคนอื่นปลูก ปีนี้คิดว่าคงปลูกถั่วฝักยาวและถั่วแขก ส่วนแปลงต้นตะไคร้ก็กำลังเริ่มงาม เสียดายที่นํ้าท่วมไปก่อนหน้านี้ ทำให้ขายรายได้ไปก้อนหนึ่ง ตอนนี้ก็เลยปลูกผักทุกอย่างที่มีเมล็ด เอาไว้กินและไว้ขายบางส่วน มะเขือเทศกำลังงาม เราหวังว่าราคาปีนี้คงดีกว่าปีก่อน การนำเข้าผักจากจีนและลาวทำให้ชาวบ้านขาดรายได้ไปมากเพราะขายขาดทุน โชคดีที่ดินที่นี่ดีมาก เราไม่จำเป็นต้องใส่ปุ๋ยมาก และเราให้ทุกคนแถวนี้ใช้ปุ๋ยชีวะภาพอย่างดี เราจะได้มีผักสดปลอดสารเคมีกินในช่วงหน้าหนาวนี้ด้วย
Wishing you a very nice weekend.
Cheers.
That looks like a lot of work but you sure did a great job! I have tried my hand at gardening in Thailand but there were too problems for me.
I have been considering moving up north because I hear that for at least part of the year it is considerably cooler there. I hope that is the case bc as I am sure you know, moving is hard.
Your garden looks great!

Thank you so much for your comment.
Well, my gardener and helpers are responsible for growing the vegetables. I bought some seeds and organic fertiliser and pay the water bill!
I let my gardener sell the surplus produce as a bonus! So, we often give our fruits, bananas, bamboo shoots to some old and poor villagers for free, including the local temple.
I don’t advise you to do serious agriculture project in Thailand! It’s not worth it unless you have a big project with lots of technical and professional support like the water and temperature control systems, etc.
I look after the big fruit trees and do some weeding and watering around the garden. My small project is to provide organic fruits and vegetables for our consumption.
The first time I was in the sunshine walking in the field several years ago without any foreknowledge and protection. I suffered from heat stroke and threw up three times.
Now I know that people here do not work from 10am to 3pm to avoid the heat! They start working at 5am! Then again around 3.30 pm till 6pm. I am still learning the old way by observing and experiments.

About moving location, it’s unwise to live in the northern provinces as there will be earthquakes in the near future. Most of my elite-friends are now living in Chiengmai and beyond. It’s a beautiful place with mountains and forest trails with nice weather in winter. But it is no longer safe!
The safest location is in Isaan or northeastern part of Thailand. Then again, I was very lucky to find a very nice place in a safe and friendly area in Nongkhai. I guess it has something to do with my past life. Most of my friends expect me to be in Chiengmai. But I feel my connection with the land and energy here. The leylines are very strong and I have found that there is hidden spiritual energy in this small town.
I guess you’ll follow your own destiny somehow. May be one day, you and your friends could do a tour of Isaan by following the road along the River up to Leoi. Then, you could easily drop by my place for camping. There is a very nice resort one km away.
Wishing you a very nice life in Thailand.

Oh! But it can be quite hot and exhausting working everyday in the field! A small patch of vegetable garden just for self-sufficiency is okay! Doing for good health and survival!

Most of the tomato patches were planted by the local villagers. We gave a smaller plot! But still there is a lot of work!

Yes! The flooding water from the river brings in nutrients to nourish the soil.
