Remember the garden I had built for Stef last year?
Noel found some real good black dirt somewhere around the yard. Then he carefully mixed in coffee bean shells and rice shells into the dirt making for an exceptional growing mixture. Stef bought some organic vegetable seedlings from a friend of hers and my God - they took off in about a week.
Here are examples of her recent harvest!!
She also is growing pineapples in another area of the yard. Every time we have one, she cuts off the top and Noel places it in the ground to grow another one. Check out the size of this one.
And, last but not least - Somehow we ended up with a papaya tree that just recently started bearing fruit. Here is a picture of the tree and an example of the fruit it produces.
Not bad for a City Gal learning how to farm.
Me? I just sit back watch, eat and enjoy.
