DAYS OF MY YOUTH - Growing up on Kauai
Myron Kashima
 TIME TO PLANT
My grandparent's had a rice farm near the Menehune fishpond on Kauai. Around this time of the year, the family, along with a few workers spent days planting rice seedlings in the muddy water. It was back breaking work, working hunched over for hours in the hot sun, planting the seedlings one at a time. They were truck farmers and also raised cucumbers, corn, tomatoes, eggplants and other fruits and vegetables.
I never worked the fields, I was too little. My time was spent playing amongst the plants in the fields.
Sometimes, I carried salt and pepper in my pocket so whenever I was hungry, all I had to do was pick whatever was ripe, add my salt and pepper and I had a great snack!
It's spring time now so we decided to start our own vegetable garden in the backyard with my grand kids. We had a mom-approved day of getting dirty! Little hands were busy raking, tilling and planting different varieties of tomatoes, strawberries, lettuce and carrot seeds. They got their hands and knees dirty in the rich soil. At the end of the day, they complained about having to quit and go in for dinner. For one day at least - we continued our family tradition of "farming".
They're anxious to see how (or if) the plants will really grow. They will also "get" their turn weeding and watering. When it's time, I'll give them some salt and pepper packets, we'll go pick something from the garden and enjoy a snack - just like when I was a little kid. - Myron
