Greetings from Kona

Today we are sitting outside on the lanai soaking up the very nice 73 temperature.  It is a far sight better than the frost we scraped off the cars on Saturday morning on the way to the airport.  Great travel, great house, great weather, and great friends to spend a week in HI.

Just a note on early plantings.  I did get the 72 cells of onions planted on Friday 3.5 and expect them to be germinated by the time we get back to WI.  I will post more info after returning.

Everything is very quiet and tranquil here.  We did get to spend a little time at the farmers market in Kona yesterday.  Lots of fresh fruit and vegetables.  Pretty wierd to see ripe mangoes and domestic butter banana hands.  We also saw avocados that were as big around as softballs, brocolli that was sweet and sooooo very fresh.  Fresh tomatoes were the course of action for some really great salsa.  Hard to believe that all of this produce came from such a rocky, ill prepared place like this.

Don't know if I want to come back in a week.  I will at least post pictures.

Be safe and remember that spring is coming.
