Re: What did you plant today (other plants)?
Yesterday (luckily as today we have torrential downpours) I planted 2 Acerola - Barbados cherry (malpighi glabra) sent up by a friend in Santo Domingo. Also about 18 rooted rose cuttings and sowed seed for sweet orange (as opposed to the sour ones that are grown here and are wonderful for marinades), citrus mitis and passiflora edulis as only flaviocarpa is available locally. Sowed seed under the shade of the papaya for lettuce, spring onions and various tomato, as well as some flowers - marigolds for the garden in a friend's bar. Oh yes - butternut squash too - with the melon growing in the compost heap we will be overrun with vines shortly, and when the passiflora edulis flaviocarpa that I hacked down recently takes off - help!!! My machete arm is feeling tired already! Having been away recently in England - I need to get the garden under control. The torch ginger needs to be thinned, and the palm hedge should be hacked back so that we can walk along the paths, and the heliconias - well enough said!! But with the humidity my orchids are looking great.
Sorry - I got carried away - Cassie
