Farming (86)
Miwagi: They do a lot of no till around here so they can crop the rolling hills without too much erosion. Small vegetable grower grow organic, but it hard to do no the scale of most of the large farms, sometimes thousands of acres.

BREADFRUIT TREES
What Is Breadfruit?
One of the most important plants (known as “canoe plants”) brought to Hawai’i by the ancient voyaging Polynesians is the breadfruit tree. This beautiful tree played a major role in colonizing the Pacific and was a key staple food. For hundreds of years before western contact with Hawai’i this fruit tree, called ulu, was a large part of the cultural and spiritual life of ancient Hawaiians. Ancient Hawaiian breadfruit groves were so large that some were capable of sustaining around 75,000 people! These trees were also an important source of wood, craft materials and medicines. Today few of these trees remain in Hawai’i compared to ancient times.
BREADFRUIT TREE FACTS
Breadfruit trees are one of the highest yielding food plants known. A single tree can produce between 50 to 150 fruits per year (yield varies between wet and dry areas) and their round, oval or oblong fruits can weigh as much as 12 pounds!
Breadfruit trees can grow to a height of 85 ft and all parts of the tree yield a latex sap which is useful as a sealant such as for canoe caulking. It’s light sturdy timber was used for canoe outriggers and house construction.
The Many Uses Of Hawaiian Breadfruit Trees
This extremely versatile fruit can be prepared and eaten in all stages of development and maturity, ripe as a fruit or mature as a vegetable. Today mature fruits are used for most dishes due to the breadfruits potato-like texture.
Nutrition
Breadfruit is gluten free and packed with nutrients. It was one of several “super foods” in ancient times (along with taro & coconut) that enabled the Hawaiians to colonize the eight main Hawaiian islands with what may have been close to 1 million people!
Breadfruit is high in carbohydrates and a good source of antioxidants, calcium, carotenoids, copper, dietary fiber, energy, iron, magnesium, niacin, omega 3, omega 6, phosphorus, potassium, protein, thiamine, vitamin A and vitamin C. Breadfruit also contains some carotenoids and lutein which is not present in white rice or white potato. A ½ cup of breadfruit provides 25% of the RDA for fiber and 5 to 10% of the RDA for protein, magnesium and potassium. As the fruit ripens starches convert to sugars and the fruit softens to a custard like consistency. This sweet custard can be eaten raw.
Breadfruit Preparations & Recipes
Think of breadfruit as a tropical potato. It tastes fantastic mashed, in salads, made into french fries and chips and in countless other dishes where you can use potato – except it’s more nutritious than potatoes!
According to the National Breadfruit Institute of Hawai’i there are many ways to prepare mature breadfruit: steamed, boiled, fried, baked, or cooked in traditional ways in a fire.

Hi, Ali ! I've always been a city girl, but lately (in the last few years) i am really interested in gardening
and i hope that one day i'll have more time to learn about that and do it - adore flowers, also love tomatoes, carrots, potatoes. I do think that gardening is very relaxing, i feel the same way when cooking, i like to eat so i like to cook as well :) and really relax this way, cooking with my favorite music in the background and a glass of white wine in my hand...
But that thing with cows and bulls in the farms, well, definitely it is not for me.
A friend of mine has a lovely country house and awesome garden, i often go to see him in the weekends.
Last time i was there, i went to see him after the end of the working week,
i traveled to the country after my work so i was in skirt suit and heels, was
already out of my car with a bag with some clothes in my hand, and there were a few cows and a bull,
and in one moment i saw that bull coming towards me, he was so close and soooooo huge !!!!
I never knew that i can run so fast on heels.
So gardening - yes, but that thing with cows and bulls - noooo, it is not my thing definitely !

Summer +30-34 maximum during the day, ±10-15 at night. Winter up to + 20-25 and at night can go to-10 sometimes but usually-3-4, every winter we have snow.. rains are during summer time mostly. This part of South Africa is very good, not that hot but much colder in winter to compare with other parts of the country where there is never really cold.:)

Very different vegetation around the country.. in my area recently were a lot of rains and I gathered quite a number of huge wild mushrooms.. They are awesome and incredibly yummi to fry and pickle/ marinate .. but locals are not really eating them, they don't know which mushrooms are poisonous or "magic" and which ones are perfectly eatable..
