Farm Back in Action after Holiday Break

The entire crew of the farm had been to Tirupati - a pilgrimage centre.  Subbu's Son was having tonsure. Kandan and Paramu also attended with family. They went by train for around 3 days and came back. They have arrived safely.   A sort of outdoor for the staff.

Meanwhile two lady temporary workers were running the show. There are many activities that need to be done in the farm as we have received sufficient rains.

a) The mud pond has filled itself for 3/4th of capacity.  That is good news.
b) Due to continuous windpump action, the cement tank has filled to its half capacity.

Today/tomorrow the banana siblings - Indian Country variety - will be uprooted and re-planted near the tower where earlier we attempted growing red-banana. That crop was a failure.  Now both sides of the windpump there will be banana trees.

Meanwhile the old dried out mother plants will be carried to the compost pit.

The late banana plants that did not yield - next to the cement tank - will be removed entirely. Using tracktor that will be ploughed. We intend to put vegetables over there.

The newly planted Jasmine plants have survived and is budding i heared from Subbu. that is good news.

Lots of work ahead this week........
