| Tou Saramat Ruchkaew says her season has been below average, despite a good wet season. |
Tou Saramat Ruchkaew started picking at her Acacia Hills farm, Tou's Garden, in August and is now about 65 percent of the way through.
Ms Ruchkaew said the weather had presented many challenges this season, which had impacted her harvest.
"We have had hot and cold, hot and cold [weather] about four times [which has caused] four flowering systems, so the picking has been very challenging," she said.
