New Cooler Season Plantings - Dec 2008

We took advantage of the very un-usual and heavy December rains and planted additional beds of carrot (red, white, purple, orange and black), chive, spring onion, radish (various colours and shapes), beetroot, pak choi, cucumber, watermelon, and cabbage. We also stuck in some lovely Madagascar Jasmine Vines in the East Fragrant Garden, currently being developed. Fingers crossed!!

First Vegetables - Cooler Season 2008

Radish "Burro Gigante" and Aubergines "Enorma", "Thai Green", and "Long Purple" are all coming into season about now at Plantation House. Carrots "Danvers", "Chantenay Red Cored", Beetroot "Bolthardy", and several Squash/Zucchini and Tomato varieties are about 4-6 weeks away. Papaya, Pumpkin, spring onions/scallions continue to be available along with limited amounts of Okra. As normal, the Market at The Grounds at the Stacey Watler Agricultural Pavilion off Agricola Drive in Lower Valley continues every Saturday 7am to 1pm.
