Yellow beans like shade.
There is a type of basil here called "sacred basil" which is considered a weed and smells like tutti fruity gum.
If you switch up the shovels you use, you won't get blisters.
Insects and worms are surprisingly resilient to being smooshed, decapitated and or drowned.
Guavas smell better than they taste. They are everywhere on Maui.
I had a weird-ass dream last night in which i was late to work at the farm because I was eating breakfast at the Del Mar Fair with you, parents. To get to work I had to run through a frat-boy filled field at UVa and avoid getting sprayed by the power hoses they were dousing people with--it was terrifying and I was chased off the field. (Lulu has already pointed out the Freudian bizarreness of that episode, thank you.) When I got to work, everything went bright blue and I saw a Hawaiian Chile bush with gold branches and tinkling metal Hawaaian chiles which are purple, red and yellow--all on one bush. It was beautiful.
Airen, Airen's mother, Lulu and I went on an amazingly beautiful hike through the holy, ancient and haunted Iau Valley on Saturday. We climbed for an hour up scary slopes until we reached a plain at the top where we decided wild boars would probably nest. After eating a "raspberry" which we gave a 60% chance of being poisonous, we turned around and descended through bamboo and strawberry guava lined trails. Lulu and I came up with Haikus. Here's mine:
bouncy balls in trees
sour and sweet communities
strawberry guava
OR, if you think sour has two syllables:
bouncy balls in trees
sour, sweet communities
strawberry guava
Adieu,
