Phew!!  We’ve been busy on the farm.  Gnome has been cutting and clearing whilst I’ve been mulching around the trees.  We have been in Belize for long  enough to know that the rains are coming soon so we are trying to get things down before the big down-pour!

Planting Sorghum; originally we planted this for beer making but we have now decided to plant it as a food crop.

Sorghum is a tasty, nutty grain rich in protein (higher than corn), B Vitamins and manganese.  The fresh grain can be harvested and boiled for about 15 minutes to provide a nutritious cereal.  Can be consumed by man or beast.
