In general, The Bahamas isn’t the most fertile place on earth…our soil is shallow and sandy, underlain by limestone. But, our weather is good for the most part, enough rain and plenty of sun (320+ days of sun per annum…) so if you want to-you can grow things. And I do.
My grandmother was always an avid gardener, and my Dad’s not bad either. Most of the existing fruit trees in our yard, he planted. We have:
Avocado, Sea Grape, Sapodilla, Ruby Red Grapefruit, Sour Orange, Key Lime, Mulberry, Banana anddddd my most recent additions: Barbados Cherry and Pomegranate!
Well, I dunno about you, but I’m excited!!!
