We be farmers

We have expanded our farm with the additional of one giant coffee tree and 175 keiki's (baby trees)  Fortunately we had the help of our new wwoofers - Michael and Heather.  They have joined us in creating this new life on Maui. They are hard workers and a delightful young couple.

We planted a fig tree, lemon, lime, bay leaf, koa and palms.  The garden is up and we have flowers on the tomatoes already.  We have harvested ~400 avocados and some local boys picked a couple hundred more.Linda's orchid collection is expanding and she has too many papaya, macadamia and lillikoi starts. 

The cat dormitory is nearly done and we will be returning to Colorado for our first round of pets.  Many thanks to friends and family that have put up with the critters for two months.  We are looking forward to not having so much manual labor for awhile!
