Snow, Garden and Commercial Corn

Aloha from the Valley Isle that is experiencing a winter storm over the past few days making it cold enough to close our windows, something that occurs a few times a year.
For those in the snow belt know that its all relative....... Any how we have snow a top Mt Haleakala which has the island a buzz with folks wanting to run up to the top to play in.



My daughter and I started our winter garden just before the storm hit and now its setting real well with the first seedlings just loving the moisture. It was nice to see how rich the load of compost was in contrast to the cleared area. We have been building this compost for the past year and now have many more loads available for use.

Our farm has been kickin with the demand for our greens high,our infrastructure is in need of retooling so hopefully we will make that happen soon. We could use the space since we are just bursting at the seams.









Were getting closer to the coming of Chuck and Ann Walters for a visit to the islands. Were looking forward to seeing them here and having Chuck speak at our event on Feb 20th showing King Corn.
Ian Chaney the films producer and co star being here is a added bonus, I am excited to meet and introduce him to the islands as with Chuck and Ann, it is all of their first time here. Along with them my parents are also here celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary and my Dads 80th birthday. Its all so very special that all of this is coming together at this time, we are most appreciative.
