my garden on Rota: July 2023 update


It's been more than 3 months since the last post. The last "my garden on Rota" post was of the garden at my house under Wedding Cake Mountain - the two zuccini plants were blossoming.

So glad to have relocated to this jungle-farm in the middle of the island. Have already enjoyed lots of fresh homegrown mangoes, avocados, banannas, soursap, kangkong, eggplant, hot peppers, and cucumbers.

Growing veggies here has been a great pleasure - no rocks, and the soil is quite rich. Just finished out some delicious greenbeans. Currently growing three kinds of eggplant (long purple, black beauties, and butter-eggplant). Thank the Lord, my Taiwan cucumbers have been quite successful. Already made three jars of pickles, and will be making many more.

Found a small grove of giant bamboo - fantastic for making stakes and to build a treliss for the cukes. 


 

Love my sweet pickles!

Using fresh oregano every day (transplanted from my previous garden.

Hope you enjoyed the post. 🙂
