Farm Update in Visuals 26-Jun-2018


1) The windpump is fixed.  It is rotating happily without load.  Subbu has promised he will connect to boring today.  He was busy with school admissions for his siblings in the past 2 weeks. I was also doing similar admission work.

2) I will be travelling to native for a unprecedented religious function at our Temple. This happens after 108 years. The consecration of temple tower.  More on that later.  I may visit the farm if time permits.

3) My entire energy is now spent in once again creating (attempting) the verticle windmill. I have started the painting and other works in my terrace. I am relieved now that my Son has completed 10th standard. The R&D was banned at my home last year to give way for his studies. More on that later. I have also started thinking about the 6" off centre alignment correction of the main windpump at the farm. I need to prepare a gadget for that (more on that later).

4) The multiple formalities for 3 Phase upgrade of electricity has been done. Requisite govt fee has been paid. Tips have been paid. The EB team may come any time to fix additional wire to bring 3 Phase current. Hopefully that will solve the under voltage problem of deep well bore pump.

Slowly the seating arrangement is getting the natural shade.

My brinjal experiment. My wife was fighting that I should not grow any vegetables. I
 am incapable of managing produce and will be wasted. This is growing amidst the challenge.

The banana country variety

Finally the windpump is fixed refixed with blades in right alignment.
It is now rotating freely without connection to boring well.

Pond. Some water due to rains.

Wonder of wonders. Already started yielding. Something wrong or right ?




These are delicious country varieties. They have very less shelf life.

Two cats. A surprise. Must be kandan's

Produce at the farm. all delicious organic Jam Fruits and Sapota

Outside the farm. This is how it is. Barren. 

Fruit flower - Jamun.


I recall, all the nursary plants purchased from Ramji Nursery, Nagarcoil are good.
