Hi,
but Lucianópolis is one of the safetest areas of Brazil. It is very much more dangerous to live in the town São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro self! Once the mom of my host daughter left her house to go shopping. As she returned, I told her that I was kept her house like a housesitter and thought there is a risk to let the house with one opened door alone. But she told me, that it`s not dangerous that one thief will come and steal. She said, there in Lucianópolis are no thieves and here are no problems or very rarely problems with criminalism. You see also, that São Paulo is much more dangerous than Lucianópolis.
Today the mom of one friend of my wife told me that it`s possible to name my house after paying and owning, because my house is still named chácara Nº 35, I will name it Chacára "Jardim de Banana" ("Banana Garden", "Bananengarten")
Yes, I will bring corms of basjoo, seeds of sikkimensis, velutina and Helen`s Hybrid to Lucianópolis in August and will try to cross Musa basjoo with fruit bananas to get hardy fruit banana for the colder areas of the world. And I will try produce seed of Musa basjoo to export to seed merchants and try to change so that everyone will can buy seed of Musa basjoo from Brazil everywhere, like Musa sikkimensis, cheesmani, velutina and other Musa species.
At first I live only in the vacations in Brazil, will go to Brasil 2 times per year for 3 to 4 weeks. The dad of my host daughter will be my house and garden sitter, he has experiences in growing bananas. He is one former banana farmer! Today he works as a trucker for one wood company. I will emigrate in rates, the house will also be my retirement place.
Best wishes
