Well, rainy season has finally hit, and at just the right time. It rained 3 days in a row, day and night and the farmers are now out in full force, well, as full as the force of farmers can get out here....Some said that if it didn't rain this week, many farmers would have lost their crop for the whole year. It takes 3 months for the rice to grow, which has it has to be harvested in November, when the rains have ended and the cool season is beginning.
Rice seedlings are planted in small groups of 3-4 plants, and ideally are planted in standing water.
This woman invited me back to help her harvest in a few months....
