Planting a few soursop/guanabana seeds in recycled containers... You can never have too many fruit trees! Or trees in general! All told I planted six of these. Now begins the patient (I hope!) wait for them to germinate... Fingers crossed.

Edit: just found a seventh seed! 🄳

The views of the Maya Mountains from Checo Hill and Seven Miles are always spectacular... Never the same from day to day, and they have many moods, but always impressively beautiful.

This is looking roughly southeast, towards the Thousand Foot Falls on the edge of the Mountain Pine Ridge. You can see a very long way indeed!

Breadfruit!

One of the most satisfying crops you can grow, and with such low labour inputs needed - very efficient calorie production in terms of energy expended. They literally grow on trees... Very versatile and tasty, too. You can never have too much breadfruit planted on your farm. Good to have a tree in your yard too if possible!

Anolis sagrei, on the hence by the water tap.

Such strange weather at the moment... Dry season really isn't behaving anything like you'd expect this year. Nice and sunny one minute, raining hard the next... Feels like it might be another unsettled night. Hard to do your laundry!

Always an absolute pleasure to see a keel-billed toucan, Belize's national bird. They're fairly common at Checo Hill, which to be honest is pretty awesome! This one was just across from the house, enjoying the sun in a cecropia tree.

(Sorry for the slightly shaky video: I didn't have access to a tripod.)

Always happy to have more trees coming along... This mango and these Suriname cherries should hopefully be ready to go in the ground at the start of the next rainy season.

A nice little harvest from the farm: bread fruit and sapodilla. Both very tasty and much appreciated! I planted both these trees seven years or so ago: it's so rewarding when you start obtaining a regular yield.

You can't go wrong with home grown limes... So tasty. Could do with a few more on the bush right now, to be honest! You can never have too many.

This is the original tree from which many of the lime bushes on the farm are descended. It's a good one!

I've been following this organisation's work for several years now. Very interesting!
