I have recently bought a piece of land next to our current house & intend having Fruit trees at one end & a vegetable plot at the other.
At the moment I grow cherry tomatoes reasonably prolifically, have a banana tree, 3 avocado trees, Lime, orange & grapefruit trees in growing stages, & am gtting fairly good returns on the Capisium (green peppers) I have planted.
The plot for vegetables will be approx 1200 sq ft (40 x 30), in a sunny area & has good to excellent black soil to grow on. I intend putting up a fine weave wire fencing & top to keep out birds, rodents & theiving hands etc & hope to pass on the produce to those in need whom we come across (after our Muchacha & gardener of course!!).
Does anyone have the equivalent of an American or European "Green Finger" who would be happy to pass on advice as to what veges to concentrate on? Where - in the Puerto Plata area - would be the best place to get seeds & advice from? My investigations, trials & hopes have been somewhat less than successful so far!! If you live local & want the job of giving me a free design/layout of the plot, just holler - Cold Beers or juices are nearly always available at the Bush household!! - Grahame.
