Well here in Belize, we are down to about 72 at the moment, but after all the rain we have had this last 10 days or so, the humidity is anywhere between 70 and 80%. At the moment it's too wet to do much in the garden.

Love the colour, please let us know if they taste and different.

Journey - so sorry to hear that, but stick with it. It is so hard to part with an animal you love, and likes others have said keep in touch with her, when the time does come you will no doubt have first choice. Good luck. :thumbsup

Well this is my thought, bear in mind I have NEVER actually done it. Give the rose you want to move a good watering. Prepare the ground where to are going to put it, dig a large hole, put in plenty of good quality compost, move the plant, put it in at the same level and water well. Not...

This is an Hibiscus in my garden, yours looks very similar to me. :idunno

Does anyone think Clematis will grow in the Belizean climate, which I can only describe as similar to that of South Florida. I used to grow quite a few back in UK. I have lots of fences here, which I put in for the sheep and goats, and would love to cover them with Clematis. Any thoughts anyone.

Wow those vines look great. I didn't know what jicama was, so I googled it. I think I have seen it here on the market, and one guy sold it to me as a fruit, which I just peeled and ate raw. I will keep my eyes open and try to find it, could well be out of season now.

Hoodat - thanks for that tip, we can buy them here quite easily, but always nice to grow your own. lesa - I have read (I think in one of the local cookbooks I bought) that you can also put them in a pie, and they taste like apples when cooked that way. Now I have never tried this, and like...

Hattie, thanks for those links, made quite interesting reading. :barnie Did UK not learn from BSE, all that pontification about not being able to transmit to humans. :he Mess with nature and nature will ALWAYS bite back. I am no scientist, but this is all wrong. I think the world is on self...

That's one the vegetables I will be trying soon.

Before I left the UK I was a member of the Soil Association, in one of their magazines, it stated: (nothing to do with GMO) just regular crops From planting to harvest lettuce take 13 weeks. During that time they are sprayed 11 times with various chemicals. What !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We...

Hoodat thanks for that information, I have had a quick look at the sites, and bookmarked them for further reading, all looks very interesting. :thumbsup

they look brilliant, maybe some day I might try keeping bees. A friend of our has just started keeping beese for honey.

We don't have Craigslist or dumpsters here. But my eyes are peeled everytime we go somewhere. Some months ago we were driving into town and at the end of the road, was a pallett. Said to hubby on the way back make sure we have enough room for that. :lau So on the way back there we are...

I never heard of soldier flys, or even composting with flies. Have you any more information Hoodat?

Here's a few more pics to consider, all taken in the last 10 days. Close up of my cactus flower Hibiscus Croton The cactus with its flower

Some lovely pictures, and I am sure the goats will love you with or without makeup, expecially if you have grains with you. :lau Mine have never seen me with makeup on, they would probably run away in fright.:gig

That is a really nice thing to do, a little bit of history and heritage for your grandchildren. :thumbsup

Whilst I haven't seen this ritual, I am told by a local guy in the village, that they have a rain ceromony. the whole village take their children, and apparently you must use one boy and one girl. They sit them outside on a table and have them croak like frogs. This is supposed to bring the...
