Nice distraction. Need to put this on my wish list.
Your garden makes me want to find a bigger and somewhat less windy property - turnover in my squares is fast but forces the choices, as when some fresh sweet strawberries means less room for the carrots and da kine. [sigh] Never enough space, it seems. Mel's Square Foot Garden concept does work... until the wind flings the vines down. Sweet corn never gets over 3 feet before it "lodges" at 40+ degree angles, and the pollen probably lands about in Puunene. I really have to build that wind barricade! I keep making crappy little stick supports, which now are holding up to the big gusts, but even the tulle wraps started tearing, letting the whole thing fly up like a lolo kite. PVC frames with bird-net or deer-fence reinforced
materials deserve a trial, I think. You have the trees for a green windbreak for your garden, Chris - but I'm along a edge of a gulch about 150 feet deep, so the wind can amp itself despite the crotons ( they seem to duck behind the block wall!). Hey, I'm not complainin', seriously!
Pomaika'i, move to Kihei or Olawalu. That'll get you out of the wind.
