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....

All;
Good news, my both French and English lavender (growing from seed) are starting flower. Post will be shared later.
Sad news, cause from the cartaract (wild water), my dam and some land gone! I have to re-create new bank/dam (to save the water during next dry season). What a lanina..
by the way, I motivate myself, even i lost some land (sandy land), but I've got the bigger creek and some island, lol...
we are going to have a big 'love song' concert so called 'season of love song@SuanPhung, Thailand'. Will be held on Nov 27th, from 4pm till 4am. This is to promote both Resort, SuanPhung district and attractive destination. The organizer expect to have 20,000 people to join.
I have to support for at least 3000 cars parking area for this big event.. Will share you the photo later..
The weather at that moment in between 9C (late night) - 27C(noon). The couple, lover, and teenager are expected to join this huge concert....can't wait...

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?
It would seem that things are progressing well for Imastar. Chibalayon, you might try sending Imastar a D-mail here on DG or try logging into the camp website.

Hi folks;

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.

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.
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.
All friends;
Update Lavender flower picture from my farm, you can see more pictures from my facebook.

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
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.

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