Just reading a thread about figs in Thailand and wondered if dates would grow here..always buy bulk imported from N Africa ( the box says Ramadan so that's my wifes name for dates now..lol) and I throw the pits ( my usual method of propagation).
Got something growing in my usual chuck it place but think it's maybe an oil palm ?
Anyone??

Wife says SIL heard on news about an earthquake up north someplace near Chang Rai.cracks and injuries?..anyone ??

We have many beaut birds around our farm in the south but I was wondering if anyone has seen flocks of parrots anywhere in Thailand. Love to see 'em down here , did they poison them all to protect the crops or what..very strange not see any.

My favorite birds are the turquoise Kingfishers? ....and our friendly raptors that look like bald eagles circling our mountain screaming.... they are all named Eric of course...

.....saw what looked like a big canary last year..brilliant yellow..not seen it since

We have what looked like tiny humming birds feeding on male Papaya tree flowers..one got inside our bedroom and on close inspection was more like a moth.....fascinating LOS!

Over the last two months we have had bees set up house in a somewhat  inaccessible part of our roof (overhang) They moved house further along the veranda area and now they have done it again and now over the steps.
Don't want to harm them but the buzzing round my head when I am trying to drink beer ( yes sometimes sit on the steps) is somewhat annoying.
Anyone have any ideas as to how to prevent further incursions once they finally depart ?
Thought of throwing a few handfuls of naphthalene (mothballs) up there see if it works...any other thoughts?

No I don't want to wear my hat with the corks on..
