I am now pretty well getting into the grove of things with Larry gone.  We have recently planted corn and a hundred banana trees.  We also have about 50 tomato plants growing not so well.  We will hopefully be planting many more fruit trees in the next month.  We are planning on planting papaya and pineapple next.  It has been mostly sunny during the days and rains in the evenings; pretty ideal weather.  I have been collecting different grafted fruit trees of superior quality including rambutan, mango, avocado, cacao and lime.  Also growing we have durian, guava, guayavana, coconut, passion fruit and soil building plants, and also some ornamentals.  Our vision is to build a gene bank of great stock as a resource for the inhabitants of the valley.  Eventually these trees will be able to be propagated and provided to farmers or other horticultural enthusiasts.  exciting business. we are also working on a little ornamental public garden, or park.  We have already done the hardscape, built a cute stone wall, part of which is for retaining and part as a bench.  we will be beautifying it in the next couple months.  it is a across from a clinic where people are often sitting waiting for the bus, so they will be able to wait admist a tiny slice of edenic beauty.  It is truly fulfilling work.
