  • Fledgeling Soursop

    The seedling soursop trees are coming along and are now about 4 feet in height. Despite the rough weather cycles this year, they appear to be healthy…

  • Banana Bounty

    Following hurricane Beryl, a lot of vegetables and other crops were damaged or destroyed. We had some damage to banana trees and several cocoa trees were destroyed. However, the banana have pounced back pretty quickly, and there are even new growth of cocoa coming from the stumps that we had to cut. Nature is nothing…

  • Greenhouse Invasion

    During a brief absence, these miniature squash invaded the greenhouse, and battled with the spinach for dominance 😉 It took a while to clean things up and they still remain hiding on the outside walls…

  • Persistence and Adaptation

    It is truly amazing what mother nature can do to thrive in challenging environments. We marvel at things growing in the desert or on mountaintop, but sometimes it is in everyday environments such as a weed on a concrete sidewalk, or this plant intertwined with a fence…..

  • Mammee Apples

We lost many trees and had greenhouse damage, but the house was undamaged. We are thankful. The trees that we did lose include three large cocoa trees, most…

  • Eggplant Emerges

    After a few unsuccessful attempts despite plenty of flowers, we finally have a few eggplants on this large Bush. It was blown over by hurricane Beryl, but it seems to have survived the ordeal. We will see what the size and quality of the fruit turnout to be.

  • A Cabbage Crop

    We have begun to enjoy some cabbage from the small crop planted in the spring. With just natural growth, they are small but flavorful. Next crop we need to intersperse with something to reduce the natural pests.

  • Malabar Spinach

    Announcing the arrival of the Malabar variety of spinach to our Fawudd Farms greenhouse! This unique and versatile plant brings a fresh burst of flavor and nutrition to the farm. With its vibrant green leaves and succulent texture, Malabar spinach is a delightful addition to any dish. Known for its high levels of vitamins and…

  • Passion Positioning

    Unfortunately, the passion fruit trees got way too large, and had interwoven themselves in the shade knitting, and had begun to work their way in between the roof panels. Not good. They needed to be relocated to their originally intended destination along the front wall. In doing so, we needed to harvest the passion fruit…
