Friday, February 22: New info on crops

While out walking, I came across a garden half the size of a football field. It is surrounded by a fence and hand cut boards at the bottom of the fence. I see tomatoes growing under a lattice work of shade palm leaves, cucumbers, yuca and maybe potatoes or beets. I have to find out about this garden. There was nothing like this anywhere when we were down here. I even saw a guy with a back sprayer. When this thing hits harvest time they will have veggies to sell.

Tonight I experiment with less air in my sleeping pad. I have felt that I was rolling off of it for the last three days.

Claire, in our group, is completely healthy after a whole day down and an IV to rehydrate. You know that someone is okay when they laugh and joke. Kathy Peterson and Joe Collins will find it interesting to know that she is the daughter of Tim Thompson who was the Legal Aid lawyer that gave us regular in-service training. Small world. So far we have hazy sun and no breeze. My guess is that it is 83 and of course humid. It is 8 A.M. could be that we are in for a hot one. Lucky for us we do not have mobs at the door yet, but we have started...so I am gone for now!
