THERE’S HOGS IN THEM THAR HAWAIIAN HILLS!

Just last week, I spent a few days in Hawaii with my bride of 50 years and youngest son and his fiance. Lisa and I were celebrating our fifty year wedding anniversary and our son proposed to his bride to be on a moonlight evening on Waikiki Beach on the island of Oahu. Visiting Nutridge Estate high atop a mountain above Honolulu and dancing to Elvis’ famous version of ‘Blue Hawaii’ with my wife of fifty years while looking down on the lights of Honolulu, Pearl Harbor and the distant Pacific Ocean was a moving moment.

Planting and Harvesting Great Ideas

Planting and Harvesting Great Ideas

Many a novice gardener underestimates how much actual work is involved in planting a productive garden. Besides deciding what you want to plant, you also have to determine where you will be planting--since the light requirements for plants are not all the same. And then comes the day you put all the seeds into the ground, water them in, and wait for the leaves to push their way through the soil and begin to grow. When sprouting begins the joy is literally palpable and anticipation of the harvest starts to build. Still, it will be many more days and weeks before there will be anything mature enough to pick and carry inside.
