First time i've been to our Patty's Farm, my eyes caught the presence of flowing water from springs cascading down from 2 hills nearby. Clean and fresh water is irrigating the palay and corn plantings, the ditches are full of kangkong around, and the abundance of tilapia is evident.
I immediately climbed one of the smaller hills to check on the source. It is a gushing spout of spring water from just the boundary of the farm, and this has been the lifesource of all plants and animals here.
The palays were green and proudly standing as i allowed my gaze to view the horizon. The corn were just turning golden, almost ready for the harvest.
Traversing longitudinally at the left orientation, this flowing water is not government irrigation program, but one that nature has generously given to the 2 farms it is allowed to traverse, and one of them is mine, before it is allowed to join the ditch leading out to the road and onwards to other farms. It is ideal not just for irrigating the grounds and plantings there, but may also be suitable for fishponds(specifically Pangasius Catfish variety). Now that would be another project worthy of studying soon!
