Before any bulb plants they have to organize and build a water supplay system .Necassary as there was n`t any rain last month. We`ve build up (and still improving) a country wide fresh water store for those dry seasons .
You are right- farming is not easy whether you're growing flowers or produce. A lot of my friends who farm near me have irrigation systems too. I like how this shot shows what they look like- with a few random bulbs straying into the water piping. I also like the figures in the distance- they put the human perspective into the tulip industry.
A really beautiful vista. I see a great difference in the colour of the soil from that we have here which is reddish brown. As for irrigation, no plant will survive in Malta will survive without it.
A beautiful shot. The figures in the distance give a great sense of the size of the field. It seems amazing that it is so dry now after all the rain at the beginning of the year.
