Mr. Leonard, Ti Paradi garden

Mr. Leonard has returned from Ti Paradi and the garden is doing well. He said the greens are almost large enough to thin out and eat some. Goats had eaten up an outside bed so he wasn't too happy about that. He thinks they need a goat proof fence. The folks at Ti Paradi have been watering the garden and he was impressed at how fast it is growing. Also very happy about the ample water supply. He is really excited about the project but would like to be able to check on it every day. My favorite line from Steve was, "Mr Leonard is talking of planting coconuts, mangoes, breadfruit and papaya in the near future there. I told you he wouldn't be interested in doing this half-way." I would not have expected anything less from him.
