Plant Pictures.

We are still going but slowly right now.  Gnome seems to have caught too much of the sun so is not feeling as feisty and fit to face the challenges of the farm (or the world).  We seem to take turns to get sick…last week, I had really bad headaches!!  Anyway, life still goes on and last night we had a huge rain that came all of a sudden; the sky turned a grey/black hue, the rain hawk went off and the geese went crazy.  So another Rain Sign is geese going off/ honking and making lots of noise…and oh yes, coming back home (from the pond) in a hurry, practically running.  They are quite funny, they are like a bunch of naughty school kids coming back home from school!

Anyway, must keep the Blog going…some pictures:

There is a Chiney in Punta Gorda that grows this on their fence.  I asked them for seeds from their Chinese winter melon and here it is.  We saw an iguana suspiciously eyeing up the winter melon and I warned him…you know, with that scary Munchkin look:

I have never seen a bath tub for sale in Belize.  Being from the UK, we grew up with baths…the showers came later.  We thought that this would make a great bath tub…especially in cool water over dry season…

It’s getting dry so back to eating chaya again.  It’s actually quite palatable blended and mixed into soup.

The giant granadilla has done nothing for years (remained alive but not produced fruit).  This year, we actually got fruit..

Giant Granadilla Flowers.

Flowering at the pond right now but having a tough time with the geese because its roots are edible.  Keep going…we will move you somewhere else, goosie-free.

Canna indica

Okay, let’s keep on going….
