It was time to go fruit hunting again and this time I talked Rachel into coming along through the tropical orchard, despite her still busted toe. My machete throwing was good, as usual, and we pulled in mangoes, breadfruit, bananas, Malay apples and a smashed soursop. Cromwell also likes soursop, we discover. It's a beautiful evening and we take you along... and Rachel shares how she made Malay apple sauce.

The pumpkins are looking good in their experimental pumpkin hills, bedded in unfinished compost, watered with compost tea and seawater on burned piles. Some need thinning and a bit of fertilizer, but overall I think we're good. The pumpkins growing from the compost pile are also looking good. Stay tuned...

Someone hates my mustache! Awesome!
And I thought I planted Seminole pumpkins in that pit... but these are definitely some of the local tropical squash. Crazy! Ah well, I'm thrilled to have anything. The rain keeps falling and falling. We also take a look at the marvelous little seedlings growing up in my little nursery area. And I decide I really like the lens I'm using. Looks really weird.

Start avocados from seed the easy way. Germinating avocado pits is simple when you do it this way. I've had better luck with it than with the toothpicks and water method, though that works as well. This is the "plant and forget" method. Sprout avocados at home and then grow your own!

It doesn't take much to capture water. My brother Brian sent me this video of him building a rain barrel with scavenged materials. Only one length of gutter and some moderate rain filled it right up - now he has free water! And yes, there is duct tape involved.
