This week

This week we continued
picking sorrel and cutlassing
the land at the top, picked
limes, citronella, ripe fig
and okra, dasheen, sweet
potato weeded and 'bombed'
the basil, sowed some purple
okra and cleaned drains.











We don't know what this
vine is but it has a tuber
that looks a little like a
yam only smaller, so it
was spared.














The grapefruit are almost full,
first time this tree
has born fruit.
















T forked new beds for
cabbage above the
mango trees which we
dressed with the pen
manure from the old
cow pen by the ravine.
The land is still very wet
from all the rain we have had.
The basil was not happy.

Sales

T leaves for town to sell basil, parsley, big thyme,
common pork, seasoning peppers and okro.
Town is full of people selling. Cabbage, yam, sweet potato,

a lighter load and, for now, no competition.
