<p>Nityānanda: We have some growing at the house.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Vegetables you are growing?</p>
<p>Nityānanda: Yes. We have a garden across the street. All these big trees are pecan trees. We have twenty. All this land across the road here that is cleared is ours, all the way up to the trees.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: (reading sign?) "Cow protection and God consciousness. Visitors welcome." That's nice. So, which way we shall go now? Cow protection, they are surprised: "What is this nonsense, cow protection?" Huh? Do they say? "Cow is for eating, and you are protecting?" There are falls?(?)</p>
<p>Nityānanda: Falls?(?) No. This is our small garden.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Fruits and flowers. No, only fruits. What you are doing, flowers?</p>
<p>Nityānanda: This is okra.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, okra.</p>
<p>Nityānanda: And sweet potatoes. And we have eggplants, tomatoes, and peppers here.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: They give daily some fruits?</p>
<p>Nityānanda: Yes. And then we grow potatoes too.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, where? Which side?</p>
<p>Nityānanda: Well, the spring crop was already harvested. We have to plant the fall potatoes in a few weeks. We'll put them over there by the fence.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So it is nice farm. This is squash?</p>
<p>Nityānanda: That's a cantaloupe plant.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, cantaloupe. You can grow cantaloupe here?</p>
<p>Nityānanda: Yes.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: And also watermelon?</p>
<p>Nityānanda: Yes.</p>
<p>Jagadīśa: There is one big watermelon on the vine up there. Perhaps it's ready to eat.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: We are getting similar land, 600 acres, in Hyderabad.</p>
<p>Nityānanda: We can go this way, here. This is all our machinery here.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hm. So already some machine idle. You had to spend so much, but they are lying idle. That is not good. That is the defect of machine. If you cannot ply it, then it is dead loss.</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: If you cannot what?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: It is dead loss if you cannot work with the machine.</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: Yes, yes.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: But when you go to purchase you have to pay lots of money. Now they will be rusty with water and gradually useless. How much money you have invested?</p>
<p>Nityānanda: Thousands.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Just see. This is the defect of machine. If you cannot utilize it, then it is dead loss.</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: Where are the tractors kept?</p>
<p>Nityānanda: One's at the house, and one's in the field.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So they have to be utilized or rejected, these machines?</p>
<p>Nityānanda: Yes, they all have a purpose. We use them from time to time.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: But now they are kept open and the...</p>
<p>Nityānanda: Well, we are building a shed to keep them out of the rain.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: In the meantime it will be finished. By the time you finish your shed, it is finished. Śāstre śāstre dal phariyaga.(?) "Some women were dressing to go to a fair, and when they were dressed, the fair was finished." (laughter) Utilize them. Otherwise, while they are in working order, sell them. Don't keep in that way, neglected way. Either utilize it or sell it at any cost. Otherwise they are useless.</p>
