Farmland Tales - Oct Week 3

Planting Passion Fruit   

Oct Week 3 - Its Saturday again....suddenly for us, Saturday has a new meaning.
Our work here is still on a slow note, we are still waiting for the electricity to come in. We had initially contemplated going off-grid but then have dropped the idea for now.

 SO ...the update for this weekend is a bit of wall painting, made a few shelters for the Red Lady Papaya saplings, planted a Passion Fruit sampling and was super excited as our little lemon plant has started bearing fruits. By the way the new plant on the block this weekend was the Passion Fruit plant. I packed the small plant into the soil with organic compost and gave it a rope to start its climb.
This weekend we didn't have time to make a structure for it to grow. That's a project I'll complete in the weeks to come.
We also noticed two tiny lemons today.

The rains have subsided a bit and I am guessing it's going to get super sunny in the days to come.  I decided to give small tempory covers for the papaya saplings using small dried sticks and plastic fabric, leaving the sides open for ventilation.

We got two small tubs primer for the walls. Started off with Nerolac primer for the outer and the inner side of the walls. Since this is only the base coat we are still contemplating on the final color. May be burnt olive .... you have any thoughts or suggestions do message in the comments section.

It was a fun morning. I had packed some sandwiches and tea.
