Book Description
I began composing this work several years ago after realizing there wasn't a practical guidebook on how to create a home garden in a tropical climate. Raised on a farm in the Eastern US. I didn't realize until years later, we'd lived an organic, natural lifestyle. During my life, I've lived and worked in many tropical and sub-tropical areas: the Caribbean, Central America, Hawaii, Sri Lanka, and SE Asia. I always had a home garden for fresh herbs and vegetables, and fruit trees. Initially, information came from acquaintances, neighbors, and friends. Usually, useful information only came when a garden disaster struck. When luck smiled, with a good crop, I never asked questions. I studied grow box construction and attended every government and agri-business course on specific fruit and vegetable courses that I could attend. I inquired at libraries, agri-shops, government offices, and the Internet to locate free gardening lessons. These courses provided knowledge on using garden chemicals safely. Over the years since the original Caribbean Home Garden Guide was published, I learned about many new, different, incredible healthy vegetables, roots, and fruits and more time-proven, common sense gardening techniques to get the most from garden labor. Most importantly, I never stopped loving the garden. It has become my best money saving hobby that helps me stay in good health in retirement. Whether in heat or mud, the process of growing my own food directed me to other questions and more answers. Wiser, more experienced garden people and the Internet has been the best information sources for the majority of the crops.
