Chapter 1 The Land

Recently there have a surged of people purchasing  land of small acreages to convert into farms or orchards.Many of these  people were retired old folks who would invest their hard earned money in such projects.Others were those who had tolled years overseas.The whole idea were to retire in a peaceful and tranquil locality. 

Surviving in a farm or an orchard were definitely amount to acquiring a very healthy life style in old age. The fresh air and the quiet environment are good for all retirees.When the farm or orchards were successful that should bring their family closer together 

Their children might scorned the idea of farms or orchards but never their grand children,that are for sure.A successful farm or orchards will definitely attracts their younger generations.Kids living in the urban jungle of the concrete jungle should loved and adored the harvests of the farms or orchards.Come fruiting seasons they would be drawn there without the slightest doubt together with their friends.

On retirement old folks had difficulties coping up with the life styles of the younger generation,not that their children were not filial. Most children are faithful to their parents.Troubles only began whenever they got married.

Well,I am not condemning any one here.It is common that once their children  got attached to their spouses - their attitude towards their old folks were mostly to change.The transformation were never their faults either nor their spouses.It were a matter of different opinion.


Children once married had their own frame of mind.Most wanted to be independent from their parents whether maternal or paternal.They want to be be free from all these parental care.Starting a new beginning on their own,of course.

Parents should gladly accept and be supportive of their efforts.But our next generation were a pampered lot.Too much have been bestowed on them on a plate from their birth until their marriages and many further on .Their up bringing were more cozy than their parents'. They never endured any hardship for one.


Their parents had never seen  even toys let alone computers.Their parents should they play most had to fabricate their own play things.Wooden guns,kites and many other play things.So they were never aware of the basic of most requirements.

Allowing them their freedom I think were highly recommended for such children.That was the time they will come to realization of the plain truth - then you will know they truly will be growing up.Let them do  what they like and unless they go through such process they will never realized the whole truth about their parental efforts.

The next lot of people purchasing small acreages of land to convert into farms or orchards were those who had worked so hard overseas for long period of time.With their hard earned cash to buy a small piece of land to convert into a small farm or orchard were by they can relaxed and lived in peace.That also were to keep themselves slightly active while in retirements.


Let us not indulged further into these,I am here writing this book trying to part some of my experiences to old retired personal and those old folks who had worked so hard overseas. Such people who were in the process of creating a farm or an orchard.

Most brought the land were inexperienced people to create either a farm or an orchard.True they have the cash to run wildly into these projects wastes lavishly.Many were thus cheated unscrupulous exorbitant contractors. True it is their money so who cares how they waste them away.No body could interfere or try to persuade them.For one these old hacks would never listen to you,anyway.Well,the choice were theirs - no further comment.


 Your advices went in blank minds.Many will say as I did who cares It is their money,as long as it made them happy who cares.But that was not the point,I cannot stand that for one.So with the little experiences I have accumulated through my years of serving in plantations.Hope it would benefit those who want to follow my advice.


So herewith I impart some of my hard gain knowledge.Of course my methods will not go on well with some so called big plantation planters.Mine will the cheapest and more efficient methods.Believe me or not, entirely up to you.


Whatever,I know I was the best planter around but should you have the money to waste then by all means follow the big plantation style.
