This week Roy and I had our first opportunity to go do a
seminar at a village. Three cooperatives came together to learn about fruit
trees.
|
 |
| After theory, we went out in the field and planted 19 different
kinds of fruit trees in one of the cooperatives fields. |
I found the army ant nest that has been sending waves of
soldiers to invade Danforths’ and my house. Roy and I dug into the nest, poured gasoline into a few of
the tunnels and lit them on fire. The gas must have gotten all the way into the
main chamber, because there were a few nice explosions. I went back later in
the day and dug into the center of their mound, and found a huge hole about a
meter deep and wide.

Four fires going, one at each major entrance. From time to
time there would be an explosion and a big puff of fire would fly out of one or
more of these holes. I was unable to get a photo of that though.

It looks like it is that time of year again. Mangosteens and
Rambutans.
