Introduce yourself

[punafarmboy]

aloha neighbors -

this is don in kapoho - formerly of opihikao, kehena & kalapana

i moved to lower puna almost seven years ago from lower ohio - hamilton if you're curious - hamiltucky if you know

my mainland background is nursery/landscape & farming around southern ohio and eastern kentucky - that's my passion here too & you couldn't
find a better place for it

all of my experience here has been with tropical fruits and ornamentals - want to learn the mysteries of vegetable growing here & needless to
say none of us are in kansas anymore - kapohocat 'the angel of the tidepools' told me about punaweb so i'll be haunting the boards

my animal house years earned me degrees in painting/illustration and industrial design from r.i.t. rochester n.y. - class of '87 if any of you were
up on the roof with me after bob sherman's life drawing classes

i do agricultural and landscape projects & then maintain them if needed - empty lots to a 17 acre fruit farm - property line screens to a 300 tree orchard

when i don't have cinder in my boots i paint houses, concrete, portraits and big ugly flower pots from the wal-mart clearance shelves

my internet access is still a problem but i am grateful for paved roads, electricity, a county water line, and a cell phone that works where you live

feel free to email as i check it a couple of times a week - gee the 21st century is kinda cool!

enjoy the new adventures - more are on the way
