Mother Nature, The Weather 2.

We had our "last" pump for irrigation on the 4th July. Our pond had fallen to too low a level for the pump to pump up, even after moving the pump to the lowest possible location.
The weather started to change abruptly. Rain started to break on the 5th July. It has been raining almost nightly. Now it even rained twice in a day.





Both our ponds is at the maximum level. Initially the secondary pool experienced an algae boom. Since the gravity pipe in water is back in service, decided to fill up the main pond, which then run off to this secondary pond. It cleared up after 2 days.

After raining almost nightly, our Parcel 5 is too wet and the ground id giving way. We already had a couple of fallen bananas, papayas and plenty spoiled seedlings of papaya and ginger.


Let's hope the weather shall stabilize, goes back to normal soon so that we can continue with our new planting.
We need to rectify the run off pipe for the main pond as we had set it too high. It shall be quite tedious as we need to dig it out again. Shall make time for this.
