I am making a field for planting potatoes, where I am using hoe to make the field more fertile and better. This traditional tool or hoe is known in Nepali language as Chadhe, which is used to dig the field mostly in Nepal.

Preparing a field prior to planting potatoes. Here I am spreading cow dung as a manure to enhance potato growth. This is an rather arduous and seemingly a rather crude task to do with bare hands but it works effectively.

Prunus cerasoides is a popular ornamental tree that is mostly used for gardening purposes but in some places, it is used as woods and grasses for domestic animals as well so that the number of Prunus trees are in decreasing mode.

I am feeling very lucky to click some great photos of this beautiful Prunes tree in November month at kattike in 2021.

We are still using old equipment for our daily works in Nepal. We have no modern technology to do such types of work, as a result, it consumes a lot of time to complete a single task. Here is an example of our situation and reflect our lifestyle.
