It is amazing what can be grown here on the island. I had always heard differently. I and my neighbors have planted Mango, avocado, lime and papaya trees. I have been eating them most delicious home grown tomatoes and all kinds of peppers for a couple of months now. The melons are blooming.
It is fascinating to see how fast things grown here. I have a well so water is not a problem but the iguanas are. My dogs work all day keeping them out of the garden; gives the dogs something to chase instead of people. (That's an inside joke for people who don't like my dog.)
Growing up in Oregon we produced most of our own food. Subsistence living is a way of life for the poor; it is a luxury for the not poor. As a species we tend to be lazy and let other people do the hard/dirty work and often take pride in this and miss the joy of providing for ourselves.
