Carole, Delighted you enjoyed the read. As you might imagine the hectic events of a Mother’s Day inserted themeselves between the California and Ecuador episodes. Perhaps Memorial Day weekend will provide the time to catch up.
After escaping two great English teachers…Barbara O’connell and Barbara Whalley in different parochial schools in GB I was always growing something, somewhere on the planet. After their teachings I was likely loath not to document my time in the profession…indeed it is an amazing one.
Stay tuned, Mark

This was my first reading of your journal… I enjoyed it… I had a good laugh; it is so true, viewing life through their eyes at that age….. I’ll try to get to the other entries.
Were you a writer or journalist in a previous time, before becoming a flower farmer?
Your profession is strenuous and very demanding with such a perishable item… I did a min research on Veri Flora, and cold chan management, it’s amazing what it takes to grow flower commercially…

Humm, an afternoon posting. I was insulating in the schoolhouse getting ready for the drywall after the County building inspection today.

Salud, Carlos
