Bangkok and Gardening

In the middle of June Tanner and I went to Bangkok with Ton to attend a hydroponic gardening class. 

The guy running the class was really knowledgeable and it was great to learn from him.   

I'm off sugar, so this was my rest stop treat,

These kinds of food carts/stalls are everywhere over here!


We made some veggie rolls.  We used rice paper, lettuce from his garden and carrots and cucumbers.  They were really good!

Lunch

My notes.

More notes.
Here are pictures of his farm as well as another one we visited.  The plants get started in a sponge, then get moved to tubes to grow.  The tubes are constantly flowing with water and nutrients for the plants.



















Putting single seeds onto each sponge.















A beautiful flower we spotted along the way.

Lunch the second day on a boat restaurant!






A&W for dinner on the way back!




Ton with his snacks and wet towel trying to wake up for the drive home.  7-eleven sells cool, wet wash cloths.  I still get a kick out of that.
