Now with heavy/2 days, 2nights raining, make cataract "Wild water" and flooding in & near my land yard..., some major bridge already broke, some are nearly to break.... this cause from forest and trees on 'Ta-nao-Sri' mountain range were destroyed from illegal investor. No tree and its roots to slow down the water, then the big destroy from the power of 'mother nature' is proving....

I have been reading iamstar's lavender farm in thailand, was he successful. I just got a farm up in the mountain,2000 ft above sea level and would like to start a lavender farm in the Philippines if possible. Also I am traveling to Thailand next week . Is there a possibility to link with him and maybe visit his farm?

Hi folks;

Just to share you that, now we starting 'for try' on 'propagate by cutting'. It seem to be work, some cutting show me that, root is growing...

In our lavender yard, there are 600 plants already...

Who know, we can grow lavender in Thailand and they give us 'flowering' as well.

We have to wait to let them grow and be stronger, then the product from lavender will be later.

I am so pround and thanks all everyone in DaveGarden, appreciated.

Thanks and wish everyone have a wonderful day...

Well done, Iamstar - fancy 600 hundred plants! They are going to be a sight to behold when they are all flowering. We have a lavender farm here in "up country" Maui. They make all kinds of soaps and things from their flowers as well as do tours of their fields, it's very popular with the tourists.

Prairieville, LA(Zone 9a)

My goodness. That is great news, Iamstar. You will have quite the tourist attraction before long between the gardens and campground. Best wishes for continued good fortune.

What healthy looking plants. So happy all is working out well for you. Thanks for the update

FYI, our website is ready for you in ENG version. Since I am not a native English speaker , your advise is welcome for correction in the content.... Thanks.

www.TheStarAbove.com

Prairieville, LA(Zone 9a)

Iamstar, the website looks very good. I think you did a very good job with translation as I know Thai to English is rather difficult. I did not see anything that required correction. There were some very minor sentence structure issues, but nothing I would not expect in a translation and none of it had any incorrect meanings. You have done very well in your enterprise and should be very proud of your accomplishments. Growing lavender in Thailand's climate is quite an accomplishment. Congratulations and continued best wishes for your success.

Suan Phung, Ratchabu, Thailand(Zone 11)

Moon, many thanks for your comment.......that all make me proud both Lavender and my English skill....
