We prepared our area for planting peanut about 2 weeks ago, eagerly looking for seed peanut to plant.  We were quite surprised that we couldn’t find any down here in Toledo .  So we searched further afield, and asked our friends Graham and Joyce if they could find some in the Cayo region.  Thank-you so much!!  We got the seeds today and are ready to plant!!

We have a fifth of an acre all tilled up and mixed with lovely seaweed (courtesy of Panda) and lime.  The area is protected from the geese with metal fencing right now.  However, we have set up a bamboo fence and planted air potatoes at the base and once the plants get bushy, we will take away the metal fence.

The bamboo has been erected to grow air potatoes:

We will plant tomorrow…we are so excited.  I think the peanuts are Spanish Red Variety.

Thank-you once again to Graham and Joyce for the peanuts!!
