I found a few interesting sites of people who own a farm and/or are working toward self-sustained living in some sense. Some of these people also sell tropical and subtropical seeds and plants. It's quite impressive to read about and to learn from their endeavors:

• Evening Rain Farm in Kapoho, Hawaii
• Govardhan Gardens in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico
• Vivero Anones in Las Marķas, Puerto Rico
• Reserva Rio Guaycuyau in Ecuador

I encourage everyone to start their own plant collection now. Even on a very limited space you can grow many wonderful and edible plants. At times, I may have seeds available and if the demand is not too high I will give away free seeds. The seeds will come from tropical and subtropical plants that I am growing myself (listed above). Just contact me if you are interested (click on button BACK TO FRONT PAGE for contacting me).
