El Jefe
The project has been aided by El jefe - Jaime Fornes Avella. He is truly a remarkable man. Formidable, possibly even intimidating with his brusque manner and his Valencian sense of volume of conversation.
He celebrates 80 this year, and his passion for fruit and vegetable growing only seems to grow. Maybe its the juice of a lemon with a pint of water first thing in the morning that does it.

Jaime Fornes Avella - Pedreguer
No hay muchos hombres de este tipo.Las cosas estan claras, hay transparencia. Jaime Fornes Avella - una inspiracion, un ejemplo de la fuerza humana, a veces un poco brusco. Jefe, te saludo.

Neem - Offside
Thanks to neem. A tree.It is just wonderful. Insecticide, fungicide and mitiside. Offside for bugs that chew our plants yet ok for bees and ladybirds and insects that help our plants = pretty cool.
Potatoes and Gooseberry Trees
Potatoe field doing well!!!
First year in production and the soil looks as if it is a little rich in nitrogen , as the potatoes are about the height of a gooseberry tree.
Talking of gooseberry trees I am reminded of a song, the words similarish to these lyrics I found on the net:
An Englishman, a Welshman and a Hebrew
They were sentenced to be hanged down Texas way
And they each wre asked to choose a tree to swing from
And they started with the Welshman right away
So the Welshman chose a pear tree and was happy
The Englishman said "Any tree will do"
So they chose for him an apple tree to swing from
When suddenly these words came from the Jew
"Hang me please from my favourite tree"
And the judge said "What tree will it be?"
"It's the tree I love best, it's my dying request
Hang me please from a gooseberry tree"
Then the judge said "But surely you know
That a gooseberry tree's awfully low"
"Oh all right then" says Mose
"I will wait til it grows
"Hang me please from a gooseberry tree"
I learned a version of this song many years ago, so long that
I can no longer remember where it came from but these were
the lyrics. The last line is to the tune of "In the shade of
the old apple tree" AZ

Senor A and the Hardware
El Senor A, without his help and assistance - well we wouldn't be eating tomatoes and peppers just now. As the youngsters would say - a big shout to him.
