Good to see your videos still coming through Abdul...

Hi Abdul,

Enjoyed the update. I'm going to guess that the tomatoes probably have some sort of blight - probably a fungus. This would cause the leaves to dry and curl. I would just clip the branches that are affected and dispose of the infected material. Try to keep the leaves dry to reduce this sort of problem. That's my 2 cents worth, hope it helps.

How's your new system coming along?

Thats what I told mom to do Scott, new system really not moving forward much, though me boss got the contractor to bring blue barrels for me, have to go to the laydown yard and have a look at them but with 50 degrees in the shade stepping out is not in the cards :[

Going home for a weekend just to visit first weekend July so should be able to catch up with the system then and report how its going, am told the tommy plants are crazy tall now and the new planted ones are also flowering but still no eveidence of fruiting :[

I'M GOING BACK TO PAKISTAN THIS WEEKEND!!!!

Have fun Abdul.

PS - I'd be staying out of the 50 degree heat too .

Its a lot hotter here scotty so I think I'll manage :]

Enjoy your trip home Abdul always good to go back to those we love.

Was a great trip home guys, thanks for all the wishes, was far too short though, planning a proper visit in december.

Got a video on my phone of the state of the AP but been too lazy to transfer it onto computer to upload it :[

On the flip my baby sis was kind rnough, after significant amounts of prodding and goading, to get a video of the fish and upload it, amazing how large those babies have gotten over the past two months!




That is my right side up edited one, if you wanna see the original in HD then have a look at this link, enjoy, and remember to lemme know what you guys think.

Any updates Abdul?

How are you?

Woohoo! Abdul

Trying to talk him into appearing?

He he, I miss a lot of these old threads. Gotta keep trying.

Just say Abdul three times, Abdul Abdul Abdul!

Thought that only worked with Rupert, according to Bully

But maybe it doesn't work when you are skip tracing

I'm alive and kicking guys
It's been a mad year for me, got engaged, broke it off, had to go under the surgical knife, twice, for posterior maintenance and spent the last five months or so working out of a desert camp with no access to real internet.
Anyhow, I am, Allah be praised, in good health and spirits, though I am a good deal fatter here in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, by a good 16 kilos and change than when I was back home and I am working on it, on weekdays.
Having internet only on the weekends and all the drama kept me far away, but a facebook message from Dave spurred me into action today and I hurtled back to the forum.
My system is alive and well under my mom's loving care, to be fair I must say it's her system now. I harvested three tilapia from it over the 2012-2013 new year and they were absolutely delicious, nothing like eating a fish that was born, raised, slaughtered cleaned and cooked by oneself, a blessing which for the longest time I could only dream about and quietly envy you lot for having experienced it, worth every tear I must say.
I do of course have video, updates which mum has been sending me and even a video of the slaughter!
I am touched by the outpouring of love from all the old members, and I shall right this moment plug in both phones, extract the videos and start building a video montage of the clips and pictures of my system so that I can share it with everyone.
I hope you all are happy and healthy, my best wishes and earnest prayers are evermore with you guys. I shall endeavour to keep showing my ugly mug here in the BYAP forum, the best and most friendly AP resource community on the internet!
Peace, love and a Merry Christmas to everybody!
