Florida - 2019

There's only one thing better than hooking up with some old friends...hooking up with old friends to sit around and eat lots of mangoes!  This is prime mango season in Florida and I hate like hell to miss it.  The stars were in proper alignment and the work arrangements were perfect for this occur.  So I made sure that I had plenty of room in the suitcase for the trip

Things are normally pretty slow during winter in the greenhouse.  The weather sucks outside and there usually isn't a lot going on inside during this period.  I did manage to keep busy with some interesting projects though.

This was what was waiting for me when I got back from Thailand.  Fleeing the country for a few weeks didn't make all of this go away unfortunately.

This trip had it all.  Great expectations, anticipation, highs, lows, and the truly miserable.  There was to be so much packed into this trip and lots to accomplish.  While some of my goals were hit, a few fell short.  Some things are just out of your control.  So no

Man, I really hate winter.  With a passion.  It just sucks.  Not much is happening inside the greenhouse. It's usually dark and always damp.  I can see algae building up on the block and glass each day.  There just isn't much to do in there except to occasionally water.

All I was missing was a hat!  And maybe some dry clothes.  It was super hot down there this year and humid as hell.  But that combination makes for a fantastic climate for the fruit we love so dear.

So if you would like to hear more of this trips' adventures...click on the green "READ MORE" down below on the right.

I know.  I'm a terrible blogger.  But I'm okay with that.  I never promised I'd be a good one and definitely never promised to be consistent.  I write something when I have time and when there is something to actually write about.  Now?  It's really just too damn hot to be outside!

​There has been lots of goings on inside the greenhouse since winter.  Not all of it great but there has been some positives.

Florida - Sunday, July 24

As usual, my trip to PR always starts in Florida.  It's always great to visit the Florida bunch and eat Florida fruit.  In addition to this, we're all able to fly together down to PR.  

Noel and his girlfriend Claudia picked me up at the Fort Lauderdale airport...after American Airlines delayed the very first flight out of Columbus for four hours due to the crew not having enough time.  It's the first freaking flight of the day!  Oh well...got to expect this shit from the airlines.

My wife is always looking thru various Thai websites.  Most of these are food blogs so she can torture herself looking at pictures of Thai dishes.  But today she came across a website that she know would get my attention...and it wasn't about desserts one makes in the kitchen.

It All Starts in Florida

It's that time of year again...off to Puerto Rico by way of Florida.  Got to meet up with the gang and enjoy a Sunday eating good food, fruit, and having spirited conversations.  What better way could one start off a fruit hunting vacation?

I flew into Miami and was picked up by Warren.  We then nabbed Harry on the way north.  Our first stop was Walter Zill's place to pick up a tree he was holding for Warren.  It's always pretty cool talking with Walter.  He's got so many stories about his mangoes.
