A traditional small farmhouse in Cambodia. Most farming is concentrating on rice farms. Hence half of the year the fields are empty and dry like the one farm shown on the picture here.
All family lives and works together on a farm. Thus family bonds are tight and loving. Traditional values of family is much higher than in industrial countries of Europe or USA where the value of family is near zero and the hunger for ego oriented career is killing more and more family relationships.
Farming in Cambodia is simple and mostly organic. Yet in a country of abundant water and fertile tropical climate the harvest depends only on the farmer's skills to plant and grow in harmony with nature. There is room to improve farming without the use of any chemicals or mono-culture systems.

I enjoy a quick foray into the National Plant Societies Marquee as there are always a wealth of unusual things on offer that aren't available from the large nurseries. This year the displays put on by all the plant societies of the North West are especially good, with a wide range of plants available, everything from Brugmansia, Agapanthus and succulents to carnivorous Sarracenia.
Where some shows have a small table devoted to each one, at Tatton they do things differently, grouping all the plants together to make displays of mixed plant types from all the different exhibitors. The effect is a great display which really relates to everyday gardens, and shows that anyone can be a national collection holder and still have an interesting and varied garden.
For me the best part of the marquee was the stall, manned by groups from across the north of England and featured a wonderful mixture of different perennials, vegetables and houseplants all grown by the members themselves. Each plant was lovingly grown and labelled, and sold with the helpful advice of the person that propagated it. The effect was like a giant garden fete and certainly offered something for everyone. I was in my element buying far too many plants. Oh well at least I'll be able to take some cuttings and bring some plants back for them to sell next year.
