It has been a rather quiet, but good week. I don’t have many pictures. Ben finished the rock wall and it looks beautiful. I am planting herbs between the wall and where the potatoes start. One BIG problem is that the potatoes are like Jack in the beanstalk plants with a fierce growth rate. Next week when help arrives I am planning on putting some of the wood beams in place behind the herbs, but in front of the potatoes and then the potatoes can more easily be trimmed as they peak over the wood to try and take over.

Finally the first native gardenia flower appeared. So mini but the wonderful smell is there. Gardenias love Hana and I love gardenias.

I had a trip to the “other side” on Thursday. The trip is always long, but spectacular. We have had lots of rain and the rivers were raging. The yellow ginger is still in bloom.

I am starting on the back patio floor this next week. I just ordered the cap stones and sand. Looking forward to this project.

Am loving my pool…

Jungle helpers are coming for Thanksgiving weekend and we are going to take on clearing more of the hill.  I am also going to cook a turkey so it should be a big step forward.

Going to cut this short as I have a very dirty house that needs cleaning.

Thanks for tuning in. Happy week to everyone.

Aloha Nui,
