Rice planting finished

9 people volunteered to help me plant rice (to be precise, it is rice seedlings that we planted) on Saturday.
I met three of them, oh plus one goat for the first time :0
Everybody was very nice and helpful. I was so happy.
Thanks to their great help, rice planting finished in 3 hours=took less than half of the time planned.
Everyone was like "so where is the next rice paddy?" :)

The rice seedlings grew so well, that all the local farmers who saw them said "what a great seedlings! well done!" and gave me so much strength and happiness.

It's been 4 days since we planted rice.
Weed has already appeared and been threatning me and my dad so much :0
We began our fight back to it: much earlier than last year.
I made a tool with a chane and a pole to remove weed in the rice paddy.
I read about some people use one like that on the internet.
I tried weeding with it but doesn't seem so effective...what a pitty...
