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
Shadow, my little helper in the 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!
Another banana stalk
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.
I planted a pineapple plant on the west side of the garden.
Another chaya tree

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.
