Yes, I know. We tried to cultivate a piece of land in Crete that it was in the forrest and the only access was a path. A beautiful place but discouraging difficult. We gave up after a few years and the path was just 10 minutes. So I understand the efforts of your friends and totally admire and respect what they are doing!

Bugs. That's a love - hate relationship. They love me and I hate them :)
