Maui Food Network: Why we do what we do...

We LOVE Good Food!

(Good for the Aina, Good for the heart, Good for the body and soul)

Here's an early crop, back in the day when we thought we could grow anything and everything -

...And we got a lot!

In time we learned that certain things thrived, and others did not.

Our big winners have been arugula, Blue Scotch Kale, rainbow chard, basil (note on planting and replanting to follow), celantro (you need the seeds that don't bolt), radishes, white/yellow onions (slow, but beauties), cucumbers, yellow squash and zucchini.

Our big losers have been brocholi, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, kumbucha squash, and carrots.

Tomatoes are hard to grow here, but D has been diligent and the one's we've gotten have been fabulous. He's grown heirloom's - the Black Krims have been the winners, though it's been fun having all the colors. The trick is that tomatoes really need a lot of sun, and they need to be covered on Maui from the dew because they get the creepy-crud (powedery mildew) really badly. So don't try tomatoes if you are expecting a big yeald or live any further towards Haiku than Makawao. We hear of success in Kula where it is much dryer.
