My weedy rice plants and wormy mango thank you for your wholesome interest in my life. It would be a shame to.burden you with the company of a humorless man with no camera.

UT who are the noxious friends you plan to come with? Posts like Dumb cums remind me why I fled PP for the country. Not enough humor to abide foreigners in my abode

With or without a camera obnoxious guests are unwelcome.

It's obvious with 14 years in the country side you have lost your sense of humour. Seems you are willing to take info from this forum but not add anything to it except ???? words. For your information , I have spent most of my life on farms, and hobby farms, from 1947 to 1995 [ 48 years ] and I am interested in what other members are doing , what they are growing and building . As they say , you can take a man off the farm but,,,, I know you would not need any advise on farming so I wont give any.

Fair suck of the sav, Duncan, but your post was pretty negative and condescending . . . . . . . . . .This one: "the few weedy rice plants you grow and the


mango trees that have only one worm ridden mango on it".

I was being nice about it. You will notice I never said anything bad about the other 100 mangos on the trees.

@Duncan. While fully understanding asp ánd Jerry's lack of enthusiasm for unwelcome guests,in a spirit of self sacrifice I am prepared to have you come and photograph the abject poverty we, rural refugees from the Phnom Penh glitteratti, live in. PM me and I'll supply the location.

Quite simply a hobby farm can be whatever you want it to be as long as you don't try to make a living from it. For me the advantages are:

1. Social. We sell produce at the morning market 6-8 days a month. It is not for money bot gives us an occasion to socialize with the villagers. Also we can trade produce that we don't need for that which we do need. Almost always rice which. I refuse to grow because it is back breaking work with a low profit margin. We also give some produce away to poor families or our own family and especially fruit to kids.

2. Stewardship. We cultivate and plant a large variety of native plants that kru Khmer from around our commune use to make medicines. Again we charge nothing. We do it to keep the culture alive.

3. Exercise the work helps keep me fit and healthy. This is highly important at my age.

So PhuketRichard a hobby farm can be whatever you want it to be as long as your goal is a personal gain other than profit. It has served our family well.

Excellent attitude. That sounds like the kind of retirement I would enjoy, although I know nothing about farm life.

takeoman, my hat is off to you; you have a much higher shit threshold than I. I just want all those glitterati off my tits
