Well it's amazing how much food one can produce from a small plot of land, "The Veggie Garden". It's been one month (since the beginning of June) that harvesting has started at the farm. At this rate by the end of June we would of picked about 600 tomatoes, 400 peppers, 20 gallons of beans, some herbs, and a few peaches and plums which were eaten very fast. There has been some collateral loses due to harvesting and transportation but it has been kept to a minimum.
It's great to have been able to share this with family, friends, and employees. You know Crazy Horse (I am know a Crazy Horse expert after reading the Crazy Horse and Custer book) believed that one should share one's wealth with others and he practiced that to the end. I have always given of my time to others, and I believe that ones time is the most valuable thing that one can give to others to show them you care about them. Time is precious. Cause once its past, its gone forever, and you can't get it back. I also belieive in sharing so in a way I kind of belief the same as Crazy Horse.
With minimal effort I have been able to produce a huge amount of food on a small area of our farm. No one should ever go hungry in this country. You know one could really live off the land if one wanted to. I have had more tomatoes. peppers, and beans then I could ever eat, and then if you factor in the deer, pigs and rabbits, yes one could live off the land. I also have the pecans, dewberries and grapes that I have shared with many. You know I don't buy meat at the grocery and no veggies for now. I have had so much meat that I have also been able to share a lot of my meat with Alicia, O, friends, and employees, and I still don't buy any meat.
It looks like this year will be the first year that I will be able to harvest oranges.
Wow, Till next time, Take Care, Jorge

Hola Jorge,
I enjoyed your post. I bet everything tastes deliciosa! I agree, it's horrifying that people should be hungry in this country or this world!
Well, speaking of good food, sharing your wealth and abundance, thank you so much for our marveloso treat to Turner's Restaurant yesterday.
I wish you were there to share the good time that was had by all. The food was deliciosa also! I'm not really a seafood fan, but I try steamed mussels every 10 years, and I was due. So I tried one that we had as an appetizer. They really do prepare the food well there. The chef that day was excellent. I'm even more squeamish when it comes to steamed clams, yet I had one of those and it was delicious also. The calamari was great too.
My entree was a really delicious plate of spaghetti with very fresh, great tasting clam sauce. Excellent.
Muchas gracias por todo!! That was very kind and generous of you. All the ladies of the "Melrose Social Club" seemed to really be enjoying themselves. It was a very nice treat.
I need to ask O for your e-mail address so I can send you the pics I took. will do that soon.
Hope all is well. Take care and have a great trip. Regards to A!
adios! vaya con dios! LPK
Thanks L, It was my pleasure. I enjoyed hearing from O what a wonderful time you all had.
Take Care, Jorge
