Small Sosua Farm & Condo Update

This is a picture of my condo complex. It is a little distorted because they somehow get it all in one picture by melding them together. Shows the whole complex but isn't 100% real but cool anyway.
Boyd this pics for you:) Boyd is coming down again sometime in April and is possibly interested in staying at my condo that I rent out. This is a picture I took from the roof of an old neighbor of mines home in Los Ceros. Pretty freakin awesome view isn't it? . Work goes on at the farm. I just ordered 10 custom made thingys made out of rebar for my tomato plants. They have three pieces welded to 2 20" round rebar so the plant grows inside of them. That way I will never lose tomatoes to rotting from laying on the ground. I have staked the hell out of them and I still get loss. I made these in the states and it made me famous for growing Tons of tomatoes and I only had 4 then. . Right now I am taking out about 4 lbs a day of one variety and 2 lbs of another. With these helpers I will have MUCHO MAS. I will get 50 to 100 lbs a day with these bad boys in two months. . I use to give out bags of tomatoes to my customers that came to my office and use to freeze tons of tomato sauce. . I have peanuts coming up now also. Great fun and great to eat. Did this several years ago and it was great! Corn is ready to harvest real soon also. Probably have 200 ears going to be ready in the next 2 weeks. Planted another 200 hundred plus recently also. I have baby melons by the bushell now so in another month I will be in the melon business also:) . Nice thing about farming is the almost immediate gradification. I have been planting so much every day it is unbelieveable. Amazed me when I had a small garden in the states and now I have a gigantic garden! . I will have one thing after another. I have Chinola vines growing like crazy and that should be a huge crop sometime in the future. Maybe this is a good use of my lot on the principle highway that I have. When I return from my upcoming trip to the states I will bring a crew of Haitians to clean that lot up for me so I can take a good look at it. There is a ton of Yautia which is a root vegetable growing there along with bananas and Plantano already so maybe I will farm right there also at some point. . Who knows but it is nice to dream about things! . Hasta Pronto!
