Comment by Melissa Harvey on January 23, 2018 at 8:56am: Hi Greg! Sounds like a fruit paradise!! My name is Melissa and I am 38 years oldI have lots of experience growing fruit here in the states. Apples, Peaches, berries, pears, nectarines, currants etc. Your farm sounds a little like heaven. And the fact that you call yourself the dragon fruit slayer is wonderfully fun!! I am charmed. I have been a private gardener for 13 years, and I worked on a an organic farm before that. I am a pescatarian but mostly eat vegetables and love to eat from the land.

I can only stay for one month this year, but I am a fast learner and have lots of experience. Last year I went to Panama for 6 weeks and it was a wonderful experience for everyone. One thing that is very important to me is that I am able to swim on my winter sabbatical. It looks like you are not too far from the shore. Is there bus transport?

Thanks so much! I so hope you will consider inviting me to your orchard! I love fruit and it looks like paradise!!

Melissa Harvey
