It's my 4th day (technically 3.5 lah) and I'm actually starting to enjoy myself a bit more.. :) taking a break after a morning of planting (some vege called qing jiang - there are quite a few never-hear-before veges they grow without corresponding English names..) and there was a slight sense of achievement at the rows of vege planted..

An relieved how there is some variety in work done - eg most of yesterday was spent preparing many many substrate trays for germinating seedlings. It was pretty tricky trying to drop ONE minuscule seed into each hole though!!

Though I am kinda getting more used to it, I still think that farming is really hard, tiring work! Even the Sri Lankan worker at the farm says he gets back pain fr farming! Apparently organic farming is even more labour intensive with a greater need to guard against insects, snails, and lotsa weeds.

But the extra work does seem to yield tastier and healthier veges. Both the co owners of the farm are avid cooks.. And my dinners the past two days (of various veges the farm grows) have been pretty delicious. The corn n carrots in particular were really sweet! And I had this vege which was apparently the younger leaves of the bird's nest fern...

Attaching some photos! Blogger mobile doesn't really allow me to caption under each photo, but I'm sure u can roughly figure out what is what lah :)
