Farm Update 08-Jul-2015 in Pictures

Farm Photos:

Some snaps were received.  Subbu had handed over the camera memory card to a browsing centre for upload. The girl at a browsing centre had uploaded photos without reducing the size. Each snap with 5 MB in size, only 5 per mail could fit in.  With great difficulty she managed to send 3 mails and dropped two more. There is no response for any followup.

I wanted to take a brief look at the current status. whatever has come is given below.

The scrotching Heat is clearly visible.  These are few fruit trees that are being taken careoff. rest of the places, there is no water. The water pipe in the middle leads to the mud pond to draw water.

The jasmine plants. They are flowering.  Subbu said daily we are
getting around 200 grams. That is being consumed by workers.  We need atleast
a KG to take it to market.  That should earn Rs. 100/- to 200/- minimum a day.
So our next plan is to expand this plot with 50 more jasmine plants. Subject to water availability.
Note the casurina plants in the background has got scrotched in heat. They can never be retrived. This piece of land is not so fertail.

Bananas, really need water and nutrition.   

Not bad at all. These organic bananas are looking healthy.  They are waiting to
go to Chirumalunji market. This will fetch Rs. 300 per bunch. Fair price.

This is where most of the action is going to be.
Seen here are Red Banana tree babies sprouting.
In between them the soil has been loosened using hoe and tracktor
Here the brinjal, tomato and Lady's finger saplings that are now growing in
the green shade will be laid after creating raised mud patches.
This is to save overall water. Water will be shared by banana and vegetables.
