Some scenes from St. Croix

Theres a great organic farm on the south shore called "Art Farm". Its only opened two days a week, very limited times. Yesterday we happened to be passing by 30 min prior to opening. There was one car in the lot. We pulled in and as time passed the lot filled up. People not content to sit in their cars and wait, got out and formed a line. Some had brought books to read while they stood there. Finally they opened and everyone mobbed the tomato pile. They also have many kinds of greens, herbs, spicy or sweet lettuce mixes, cukes. Although its open from 3-5 pm, probably all the stuff is gone by 3:30, hence the line etc. Kind of worth it to have fresh just picked stuff in Feb.
Okay heres my Art Farm, which I'm calling "Cats Begone". Jimbuilt some raised beds which we filled with potting soil as the ground at this end of the island is about 60% rocks and bad dirt. Anyway the feral cats in the area view these as giant litter boxes unfortunately, or as Elvin the pool fellow says "dem cats think you built that for dem". So he suggested red pepper and Tan-Tan branches and the cats are staying out of there and just going on the ground under my clothesline instead.
Another problem in paradise is fruit bats. They load up on the berries from the palm trees and then fly around crapping on everything. Heres Jim getting some stains off the patio walls.
