Well, I WAS growing coffee until a rogue band of feral goats showed up and ATE ALL MY LITTLE TREES... ARRRUGGGG
I will be planting again, however I have decided to watch the two coffee trees I found in the wild for their flowering and berrying.. I will pick that coffee cherry, plant it and get some trees that are native to my area. They will then be planted in the shade house and allowed to grow for two years in containers... THEN placed in the ground.
In the meantime, we are hunting the goats and coming up with fencing!
But from my neighbors, a lot of coffee is grown from Glenwood rain and shade to Kau hillside and it is great coffee. Kona Coffee just has the PR.... give us 10 years and that will all change!!!!
Just another day in P A R A D I S E !!

I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says
"Oh Crap, She's up!"
