Well i dunno like. We've got all manner of colours in our garden: roses, red, yellow, and pink; a plant that always reminds me of a trifid with red flowers; little bushes along the side of the path with different shades of red flowers; lots of kind of stalky ones yellow, mauve and orange flowers; small trees with big yellow, red and purple leaves; and even two guandule trees with little yellow flowers, etc . The trouble is I don't any names, if I knew how to post pictures/photos I would do so! We use either rain water or that from our well and do our best to plant the ones considered more fragile in black soil. We eat our own guineos, platanos, guandules, oranges and lemons, yuca when in season. I wish we could grow particularly peas, broad and runner beans, parsnips and swede turnips. Luckily my wife has green fingers even if they are more of a chocolate colour.[/QUOTE)
I read some time back that turnips (nebo in Spanish) didn't grow well here, yet last year I had a bumper crop and only because the extended family didn't recognise them (hence didn't like them) I barrowed many to the tip as I couldn't use what I had grown. Planted again 2 weeks ago and the seeds have shot out the ground ahead of the other veggies, beetroot, brocolli and scotch bonnett peppers (brown and very hot) also do well too.
