DAYS OF MY YOUTH  - Growing up on Kauai
           Myron Kashima

Why did I leave       Kauai? 
Just a little deviation this month from my usual childhood memories.  I want to answer a question that is asked quite often:  "Why did I leave Kauai?" 

Well, the answer is - school.  I was accepted at a University in the Pacific Northwest. I had never been to the "mainland" before and w
ith great apprehension and excitement, I packed all my belongings into a small suitcase and carried what little savings I had in my pocket.

Before leaving, I went down to my grandparent's rice farm to say goodbye to my family. My brothers and sisters were all up in the branches of our favorite guava tree - eating the fresh sweet fruit. I can still picture them as if it were yesterday!

Oregon was just beautiful!  On one school break, I went home with one of my classmates - their family had a farm that raised peaches, apples,
onions, etc.  Just as I had left my siblings up in a guava tree, I was up in a peach tree instead. I ate delicious fresh peaches like I've never tasted before.
S
tore bought ones were shipped to Hawaii usually force ripened. To this day, when I  see fresh peaches, I remember that experience. And THAT'S why I left Kauai        .....  Myron 
HAIKU FARMS MINUTE (Monthly update on the rebirth of our family farm on Kauai) shack

Well, Rory started some corn and not surprisingly - something ate them.  Ha Ha!  So what's new!  Ti leaves are doing well so far. We're selling grapefruits, eggplant, avocados and some papayas.  Not bad huh?!
