James didn't want to visit much through the fence but we did have a few fun conversations. I was in my garden one day and saw all these large insects all over and yelled to James through the fence that our gardens were being overtaken. He calmed me down and said he had ordered these insects (praying Mantis). He taught me about how good insects can help combat the bad one. He also taught me about how to prune a tree. After moving into the neighborhood, he planted trees and the next season had some fruit and many more the next year. I was impressed! I will miss James! I look forward to visiting with him again.
