Summer in Hawaii is always been my most productive season - less rain, more sunshine, less wind. All good weather for growing. In addition, my tilapia fish just presented me with about 30 baby tilapia. I hope enough will survive to replace my current adult population of 6-7. So, what always grow well is taro and I eat the whole plant down to the roots. Yummy yum the sweetest poi made with mature taro root as big as two fists. I like to spice my poi with different spices and/or veggies put into the grinder as I make poi. It’s almost as good as butter on your potatoes. Without the callaries. The major challenge for me this summer is to get some of the invasive species trees cut so more sun will shine on my plants. Would love to grow some watercress and kale or spinach. So many choices- what to do. I hope those tree trimmers I met a week ago, come back so I know if they were serious about moving there business and families to live here. Whooooo what a win that would be for us and them…. Aloha, jk
