Spring is nearly ready to turn into Summer as the Solstice arrives.
The gardens are nearly all planted and soon construction on the house continues.
The Japanese Blue Sweet Potato flowers are blooming. The cuttings are in the ground and hopefully will produce a bountiful harvest in the Autumn.
We are now harvesting Flores Yellow Sweet Potatoes that were planted last year, as well as Bananas and Taro. These three crops are the staples that allow us to survive yearly.
"Cozido de Porco" is a house favorite using the Kale and Sweet Potatoes, alongside island raised Pork.
Hopefully, we will keep our own pigs next year. In theory we have enough surplus to feed two pigs, we only need to build the housing for them.
The Sugar Cane is growing very well in the Tropical Micro-climate. In the future, it can be used to help the fruit wine achieve a higher ABV.
The African Yams have sprouted and are now getting planted out in the Tropical Micro-Climate also.
Both the Apple and Pear trees are full of flowers, so we should get fruit this Autumn. If not, they are still beautiful to gaze upon.
The Coffee Bushes are full of ripe yellow fruits and will soon be harvested and processed into a power packed brew!
This year, we took cuttings for rooting.
The Coffee Cuttings are placed into a heated humidity dome to help them grow roots before being planted out. They should make an excellent edible hedge to stop the winter winds.
Our new lamb arrived. The boys have named her LambyKins and she is very fuzzy and cute.
Our yearling goat arrived also for weed control and future meat production. The boys have named him Goaty McGoatface 2.0.
