I have family that lives in HI and I was even born there! Dad was Navy though, so we didn't get to stay for long... :(

We just moved to the eastside Big Island. It was the best thing that has happened to us ! We really want to learn to plant a garden. I bought a few herb plants as those will be in a section by themselves. We need advice on all this darn lava..lol dianer

oooo...can't help you on that one! LOL The only thing I would even think of to suggest is to bring in a LOT of top soil! LOL That and raised beds. I don't know of anything that would grow on lava...

my family lives in Honolulu, which is where I was born. We lived on Ford Island for about 2 years after before my dad got shipped to Washington State. One of these days I'm going to return to Hawaii...just don't know when that will ever be.
