    I live on a small Caribbean island on its highest rainforest mountain. I began planting my tropical fruit trees 2 and a half years ago. 400 + banana trees, a dozen papaya trees, moringa, sugar cane, guava, figs, pineapple, Mango, lemon lime and oranges, olive trees, sugar apples, and more planned. I am learning as I go, probably making some rookie mistakes, but it is completely organic, and a work in progress. And it is the funnest, most wonderful thing I have ever done with my life.

    Fun to take a tour with you and your family. Subscribed! Enjoying all your edibles and going barefoot - yes to the edibles! Barefoot ain't never gonna happen, we have black racers and ring neck snakes, thankfully no more pygmy rattlers and lots of other critters. We are zone 9b and zone 10 in Florida. I'm still experimenting with the tropical food forest. I encouraged the wild elderberries to spread along the ditch out back, looks fantastic blooming around May-June. My neighbor and I made medicine, elderberry champagne and organic mosquito repellant with it. The Moringa makes a nuisance of itself with too many babies but we throw the young leaves in with salad and use the flowers for a lovely tea. My favorite find this year was a Sweet Chinese Basil (seeds) which isn't bothered by the heat and tastes so citrusy, a lot like lemon verbena. We made passion fruit jam, ours is unstoppable, our old Avocado tree produces like mad, bananas, plantains, lemongrass, African Blue basil, rosemary, Chaya, Tapioca, Papaya, tried ten kinds of peppers this year, different tropical salvias, herbs and mints...Limes, Cranberry Hibiscus, my first pineapple, Fla native plants and tons of different naturalized ferns. Tried turmeric this year, one edible, one medicinal, the shampoo ginger took three years to be fat and happy, tons of garlic chives and society garlic and I'm figuring out how to have celery growing all year. Anyway - happy to find your channel. Happy gardening!

      @IslandsnHighlands  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It’s 1.3 acres-but you don’t even need this size of a yard to grow lots of food. Plant in Florida it can all be jumbled together and grow into an awesome food jungle

    Wow, I love all the fresh fruits from your garden. I want to grow all the tropical fruits but where I live they don’t survive during the winter. That pineapple looks delicious! Love the star fruits, must be smelling so good!

    • @IslandsnHighlands

    I’m so jealous of your garden. Would love to grow the kinds of tropical fruits and vegetables like you but I live in the northeast and can only grow during the summer seasons. It’s all organic growing your own foods and satisfying when it’s time to pick them👏

    • @IslandsnHighlands

    You guys are so fortunate to have a garden like that, pure organic from the earth food. Wish I had a tropical garden like that. Do you have Naseberry or sapodilla trees. Miss that fruit from Jamaica! Do you have mangoes? You guys are sooooo blessed. Enjoy!

    • @IslandsnHighlands
      @IslandsnHighlands  ปีที่แล้ว

      No, we dont have have Naseberry or sapodilla trees- I'll add them to our wish list! We do have 2 huge mango trees, as ell as two others we planted within the last 2 years. We love tropical gardening!

    Beautiful garden! The tree spinach is also called chaya. You have to cook them because they have a form of cyanide in them. The sap can be irritating to the skin too.

    There are dwarf varities of coconuts in the Philippines, they’re so short that you can harvest them without climbing that high. I love your videos.

    Great looking yard. you know I was talking to those construction guys and they were complaining about your pollen that kept blowing over on their job site.

    • @IslandsnHighlands
      @IslandsnHighlands  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you! And I’m sure pollen can be annoying but I would rather breathe pollen than concrete dust. Cutting concrete without water is illegal and it went on for months…hopefully you won’t be burdened with an inconsiderate home builder in your future. Not all builders are created equally…the one next to us has been a nightmare. Don’t wish it on anybody
