| Phili standing near a big mahogany tree at the southeast corner of our shamba. |
| Looking westward across the big swamp (towards Masindi) that provides the municipal water supply. it is filled with papyrus, fish, and beautiful waterbirds. |
| A beautiful vista from the road to our shamba, looking back towards Masindi. We are at 3800 ft above sea level, and surrounded by small mountains and greenery everywhere. |
| A typical vista, after clearing the lantana. Note the mahogany tree in the foreground. |
| Phili shopping at THE WALMART OF KIJENGA |
| The tractor stuck in a bad place. it took me four hours and the help of my emergency tow strap and my little toyota 4wd in granny gear to get it out - oh, the joys of farming! |
| Welding the towing hitch back on a borrowed trailer, out in the middle of nowhere. The "welding plant" on the back of my truck consists of a Chinese diesel motor, a home made 'generator', and something that resembled welding rods. The fellow did a good job, however. Note the approaching thunder clouds, to make things fun! |
| Phili surveying land stretching eastwards from close to our place. It is ideal for cattle keeping, never plowed |
| Taking the workers out into the middle of our shamba (garden in Kiswahili) to set up camp and begin clearing the bush |
| Yasoni plowing, opening land for the first time, which is a BIG challenge, for a new client from Masindi who wants at least 100 acres opened this year (this season, we are opening 25, which is a lot of work). The place is called Nyakyanika (how about that for a name??) |
