On a daily basis now we are able to gather a sizable crop of lovely ripe tomatoes. So much so that we are trying to find ways to give some away and to preserve the remainder. This crop was also pleasantly resistant to pests until very late in the process so the idea of planting next to scallions and big thyme nearby and some parsely has benefited the tomatoes.
A few lovely head of cabbage developing. We have to transplant some Thyme as their leaves spread…
After the failure of the last two plantain suckers, I am trying again with two more in a slightly different location. In this area they will have a lot more direct sunlight and not be impacted by surrounding banana plants. The previous two started out well and then suddenly declined very rapidly, so we will have to watch these carefully and see what happens.
We have a few pepper trees outside that survived in amongst the peas. Thankfully they are starting to bear…These are seasoning peppers..
This is the first surviving fruit from the trees we planted just 3 years ago. Birds claimed the actual fist Soursop. Regardless, it is good to see fruit in such a young tree….
Although we have several varieties of banana, we have no plantain. Until now that is !! A local farmer gave me 2 suckers, which went straight into the ground given all of the rain…
