It did not survive the first winter. I like mangos a lot. They were plentiful in Hawaii when I lived and worked there.John Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12123174297818737132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275885258914846834.post-3202581728395365162020-06-18T08:08:56.090-05:002020-06-18T08:08:56.090-05:00Thanks Wolfgang, I agree that the power elites can...Thanks Wolfgang, I agree that the power elites can't suport their power structure without a lot of advanced economic base, and it must all remain subservient to them, which degrades it. Local economies will be more efficient, as long as they are independent, so not degraded by distand bureaucracy and resource plunder.John Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12123174297818737132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275885258914846834.post-40613864557927945942020-06-17T20:31:01.342-05:002020-06-17T20:31:01.342-05:00agree strongly - God's good earth looks forwar...agree strongly - God's good earth looks forward to the New Heaven and New Earth at the end of the book of Revelation - paradise is so often depicted as a garden or jewels, two of the most beautiful things on earth and the TREE OF LIFE is for the HEALING OF THE NATIONS.

Keep the photos of the vegetables coming.<br />Down here in Central Mexico it is mango season. My wife is leading the effort to freeze and otherwise preserve the abundant production. Once the rainy season starts in earnest, insects lay eggs on the mangos. The eggs hatch and start consuming the mangos from the inside. Then mango season is over and it's time to plant corn.Wolfgang Brinckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08314364206955412017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275885258914846834.post-3064487597566054412020-06-17T17:14:28.004-05:002020-06-17T17:14:28.004-05:00yikes what a depressing report about the efforts o...yikes what a depressing report about the efforts of the Trilateral Commission to replace nation states with a global rulership. I wish them strong headwinds.<br />Still, I tend to be optimistic. Regardless of the intentions of those who would love to rule us all, running the whole world out of New Zealand or Patagonia or wherever this world government is supposed to be takes resources and those are in ever shorter supply. With any luck, the rulers will start on their grand scheme and run out of resources leaving nothing to show for their efforts but some placards that proclaim coming soon, world government headquarters.<br />The rest of us meanwhile will try to figure out how to kill the deer and the gophers that are eating the ouput of our perma/off and on culture efforts.Wolfgang Brinckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08314364206955412017noreply@blogger.com
