​ Once you start throwing seeds around here in Costa Rica, you'll find that you'll be overwhelmed with fruits & veggies! My friend, Marty. . he's from an urban setting in the Northeast. . just outside of Boston. The closest thing that he ever had to a garden was a tiny pot with one skinny stem of basil in it! He placed the plant on top of his microwave oven and it died after three weeks! He definitely did NOT have a GREEN THUMB! Well, I am happy to report that you don't need a green thumb in Costa Rica! Things grow magically here. And they grew and grew and grew for Marty. .

​ Marty arrived in San Jose about two months before the COVID hit. He's renting a place in the central area of Excazu. If you've never been there before, it's a beautiful, majestic, historical part of town with a park, an old church and many shops, restaurants and every year, they host a parade with oxcarts and big bulls! What a beautiful place to live your life! And Marty is so happy here.

​ His first week in Excazu, I took him to the local Escazu farmers market. Now keep in mind that Marty has been talking about starting a garden for years! And now, his dream was about to come true. He spent over $40 on fruits and veggies, which, by the way, is VERY HARD TO DO here in Costa Rica. His first week, not only did he eat healthier than he's ever eaten before, but he took the seeds from all of the fruits and planted them. He also planted about two rows of all kinds of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers! After two years and one month here, his garden is so lush and full that he could easily qualify for the cover of "Better Homes & Gardens" magazine. Marty is happier than a pig in poop! As a side note, he's lost 39 pounds in 25 months! He's 69 and he feels like he's 21 again! He's a HAPPY GRINGO living the life of PURA VIDA in one of the happiest countries on the planet! If that isn't GOOD NEWS, nothing is!
