The Garden is Calling Me

Oh thank you so much. I know I have way too much to do. I haven't been there in 4 days because of wind, cold weather and rain. Now today it is back to normal on the islands and it is warm and beautiful.

@poehere I´d love to visit Tahiti some day. But I bet it is too expensive.

@marguicha When my boyfriend went to Easter Island the ticket was like 550 USD round trip for 2 months. The longer the stay the more you pay normally. He went there on Lan Chile.

It is always good weather here on the islands. Today is fantastic and no more cold winds. Yes I am so happy. Nice warm sun not too hot and not too cold. Just right.

@poehere .....Thank goodness there is always tomorrow.

@celticeagle That is for sure. Now here today I was up there again and there was a ton of work to do today. Just got home a bit ago and taking a break before I start cooking tonight.

You have that right my friend. It is a large garden and a lot to do. There is no way I can finish it all today. I will do what I can and there is always tomorrow.

I love my organic garden. It sits at the base of the mountain and a stream or river runs in front of it. You cross the river to get to my garden. It is so quiet and peaceful up there. All you hear are the birds, water running, and chicken pecking. I love the garden because there isn't only food there. I have a lot of herb plants and flower everywhere so it makes it look so warm and inviting.

Today there was a lot of tomatoes, salad, cucumbers, zucchini, eggplant, green peppers to pick. I didn't have time to pick all the corn.

@poehere We have a weird summer, too hot or too cold, I have very little compared to last year.

@LadyDuck My garden here grows way too fast. So does the organic garden with all the food in it. I hardly have time to work at home now in my garden and it is driving me crazy to see my plants in a mess. This week I need to take one day off and just stay home and clean my yard. My boyfriend is here this week before he leaves to go work on another island. This way he can go to the garden to water and work and I will stay here to attend to my garden. I need to get it back in shape.

With the organic garden we have I am loosing time to work at home on my own garden. There is so much fto do at the organic garden and now my home garden is looking a little sad.

@poehere When there is a good harvest, you know all the efforts are worthy

@youless We have a good harvest year round here on the islands. We can plant year round here. So basically it is me deciding when to plant certain things and when not to plant others.

The plants grow so fast here. At times so do the weeds. I needed to go there today to trim back a lot of plants, weed, and pick some food. I also had a lot of watering to do. I am back now and sort of tired.

@poehere .....my long way becomes barrier though but my feelings are free of all these barriers. ...ha ha ha

I think you have a very long way to travel. Yes I did pick up some nice veggies out of the garden. I have tomatoes, cucumbers, salad, eggplant, and green onions to cook tonight.

@PurnaSharma Yes with world travel the way it is today there isn't a lot of barriers to overcome.

Thank you so much. This is one area of my organic garden. It is rather large and we have a lot planted there right now.

I will take a photo of the basil plants I have here. I think they are over or around 1.5 meters tall. I call them trees because they have a big trunk on them. They remind me of a tree.

We have clients that only want organic food. So they come here and buy food from us. This is only one small section of the garden. There is 8 other sections and a few of them are larger than this. Yes it is a giant garden and it is a handful to keep going. Right now I planted the green onions again today. I split them apart and replant them to make more onions. They go so fast here it is amazing. I keep one roll for separating so make other rolls for people who want them. I spit the bunching onions up when they grow big enough. They normally have 6 to 8 in a bunch. I replant them one by one to make a giant roll. In 3 weeks the roll is big enough to pick and eat.

I normally go there daily and work around 5 to 6 hours. I haven't been in 4 days because of the wind and rain here on the islands. That is why when the sun was out and the wind stopped blowing I knew I had to get up there.

@RichardMeister I can't leave this one alone. The heat here on the islands requires me to go there daily and water. So why just water. I work around and do as much as possible in the time frame I have.

@poehere Gardens seem to get a bit weedy if you leave them alone for too long.

I think so too. It was nice to be outside again. 4 days in the house because of wind and rain is no fun for me. I love being outside and not stuck in a house all day.

You are so right. Here we can have the organic garden year round. We always have plenty of fresh fruits and veggies coming from there. It is a lot of work because the garden is giant. It isn't a small home garden. This is a rather large piece of land we have that we have cultivated.

@renicemae We have a large clienteel that comes to take what they need.

@poehere Oh that's good. Are you selling some of your harvest to the market?
