Garden April 2013 and Chaya plants for sale

I have been working for the last month in the garden. I trimmed a lot of things and I am trying to compost.

 
Our ficus hedges have suffered a lot from white fly.  We tried to use ladybugs to combat the white fly but it has not worked.

 

The smallest mango tree.  It was supposed to be a dwarf variety but this one has stayed like this for years. One year we got a big mango but we did not cut it in time and an animal ate it.
 

 
The chaya garden

I cut back the chaya tree a lot.  I was thinking it was dead but then I saw some little leaves on some branches.  I do have smaller trees but this one is the largest.


                                          


Chaya cuttings


I planted some pineapple plants under the tree.  I have gotten pineapples from plants that have been in shade on the ground and from potted plants in full sun.  I still do not know what is best.



 
Bananas!

It looks like we will get only one pineapple this year.  I am starting more plants so hopefully we will get more in the future.

 

I repoted the fig tree.  I also planted an unknown banana plant on the ground.

Happy tails!  The cats love it when I work in the garden.  They crave so much attention and love that even if I am not right there with them, they are happy just to see me.  Of course I talk to them nonstop.

My Crystal.  She is my little princess.

I planted some green beans and okra on the west side of garden.

Chaya I collected from the garden.

 
I have started a chaya project in Guatemala and I need funds to buy potting materials and plants."I have a video on YouTube about chaya and I get asked "where can I find chaya plants for sale?" all the time. I am selling chaya cuttings and chaya plants via my websites:
All the proceeds from the sales will be donated to the chaya project.
