Spring harvest in Madeira Island! :)
« on: March 14, 2014, 04:26:11 PM »
Howdy folks,

Here's what I harvested yesterday!  Worked my ass off...but, the bounty was worth it!  8)

Apple banana, Colombian Granadilla, Crunchy white guava, Spineless Lulo(love the smell of the fruit), Juá Açú(very nice, tangy flavour), two types of banana passion fruit(large Colombian and local), Surinam cherries, Cape gooseberries, Thai Gourmet Chilli and 2 types of sugar cane.

Background orchids are Cymbidium, Vanda and Paphiopedilum. :)

Very nice!   

Are you able to find much planting material locally, or are you importing seeds/plants?
