Peter, a farmer by trade, waits patiently for his tomatoes to ripen every season so he can get them to the market to sell. No, these are not his tomato plants; folks here call them "vegetable" and Peter is nursing them in my yard. Peter also helps Kevin and I by cutting the grass during rainy season and moving dirt and tending to other things around the yard.
Peter has helped me tremendously with my gardening efforts. He's tilled the ground, transplanted vegetables, bought seeds and built a trellis for passion fruit as well as fences to keep out chickens and one fruit loving dog, Ziva.  |

Most recently he's been helping to harvest the wild guavas. He's taller than any of us!
It's a bumper crop this season. We are getting plenty even though we lost one branch to the weight of them before we could prop and tie it up.

Please pray for Peter as he has two part time jobs and manages his farm. He is trying to save money to get married.
