Pigs

We have plenty of feral pigs just outside the fence. They love the mac nuts and new shoots in the fields. Kirsty would love to have one over for dinner.



Peace!

Bananas

There are about 70 different varieties of bananas in Hawaii. More commonly, the banana plants have a purple flower that hangs down and the bananas grow above the flower.


I found another type on the farm:

 The flower is located very close to the stalk.

 The bananas are inside the flower and are revealed as the flower opens up.

These might be apple bananas, but I'm not sure. Will have to wait until they ripen to be sure.

Peace my friends!

Ducklings

Just before Hurricane/Tropical storm Iselle hit, I discovered we had nine new Muscovy ducklings. One of the resident ducks brought them in from her nest somewhere outside of the pond enclosure. Apparently what is yellow will turn white as they get older, resulting in black and white ducks.


More pictures when the rain and wind stops!

Peace my friends.
