Awww, with me ill lately, our garden is in a sad state of affairs. It needs to have weeds and old plants pulled, be tilled, sifted, rows made, fertilized and gotten ready to plant. Wish I were in full tilt to show you what a rat time we have had. If you are bored, feel free to come dig in our dirt! LOL

I think we have some starts ready to go in, including broccoli, yard long beans, snow peas, soy beans, etc.... the list goes on!!

Okay, Leifboy I kno this isn't what you meant bout farming experences. It was just fun to pick n you! I used to do a lot myself around here but have been ill or a while so it is all waiting for... well.... i don't know what but it is fun to look out and see what i used to get done and hope that eventually it will all bloom again... I love productivity but right now my body isn't cooerating. Growing old ain't for sissies!!

I hope you get well soon Pam! I'm gonna be going up that way soon. We have not yet met in person, tho, it would be good to come up to see you and your farm! Gonna go visit the Volcano.

Cheers!

My garden is not really in yet.....I just have some bananas, pineapples and some dragonfruit scattered about....and an avocado and mango tree. Oh, yeah and some cacao. (I have to plot everything out ahead of time. I think and rethink and then I plant.) But I always thought it would be a nice idea to organize a sort-of progressive garden tour for charity. There are a number of gorgeous and/or productive gardens in Puna and I would like to see more to get some ideas. There is an Art Tour in HPP where you go from house to house on a map. I thought that would be a good idea with gardens. They wouldn't have to be pretty gardens. I like those, but am more interested in producing gardens.

Oh I like that idea! Very cool

Pam,

I only have 4 Papaya trees growing on the lot and tons of grass. Looking for Banana keiki's and other eatable fruit trees gonna check some local nursery's first before buying some orange trees from ace. Wanna get a bunch of starts for other things as well like privacy hedge etc...etc...

@ericlp - sent you mail via Puna Web. Some times it doesn't go through.

[pslamont]

eric, contct me about Banana Keiki. We have tons. The "cost" is the energy to dig them up! We have starts of other things from flowers, avocado, etc in our greenhouse; we share!
