PHOTOS: The food I have Grown in Puerto Rico
The food I have grown in Puerto Rico I am currently residing in the sunny tropical island of Puerto Rico (by way of Brooklyn), which for those that don’t know is located in the Caribbean.

Con la forma en que vamos, si un desastre natural llegara a suceder, la gente vas correr como un pollo sin cabeza. Espera que el gobierno venga a salvarlos como la gente estan dependiente de un maldito plaga que es el gobierno. “La tierra volverá a quienes la trabajan con sus manos – Emiliano Zapata“ Aqui en Puerto Rico es triste que por supuesto muchas gente nunca a comido un tomate fresco, ni sabes como sabe. Mi reto es para todo el mundo crezca…

My challenge to the world: Grow just one plant! Updated: March 28 2019 Many around the world are quarantined in our homes due to the coronavirus. I am currently in Puerto Rico, where the weather is warm year round and I truly believe Puerto Rico needs to grow more food as 85 percent of the food is imported. If things get worse and that ship never comes, well let’s say things will get ugly quick. I want to propose a challenge to the world and especially to the people of Puerto Rico as food could be grown all year long in this beautiful tropical climate. Here is the food I…
