This past Friday I was able to do a fencing job for Kuʻulei who will let us use his tractor mower in return. I spent 6 hours repalcing 150 feet of barbed wire and redoing an H brace(took longer than I thought).
I spun past our ʻaina and saw that one koaiʻa from the first planting was 30 inches tall. I was stoked to see such good growth in just 2 months. The grass and weeds are coming on strong, and I am planning to mow in early April.
On Sunday Uncle Kekoa and I attended a revitalizing ʻulu workshop in Puna. It got me pumped on ʻulu and the potential for good on our ʻaina. Hopefully interest grows as more people grow this important food. Hopefully there will soon be a place in Hawaii for farmers to process their ʻulu into a gluten free flour. I will need to find a way to acquire the ʻulu varieties we need to have fruit year round. I met some good people and got a really good feeling there. I shared some koaiʻa keikis and brought home 2 ʻulu from Puna(Hawaiian variety I think). Really good experience, Houlu ka ʻulu.
