Hey, I'm just trying to find a few people that have knowledge about growing in the wet tropics, hope its ok to add you as a friend!
Cheers,

Alexis

Hey friend It is nice to hear from you. How are things in FNQ? Yes it is yrue that you were nice enough to send me some morninga I think but it has not come through our winter. I also got some from Fernando Pessoa and split the spot to grow them so as to best find a microclimate to suit. It grew really well under some Paw Paw that I had planted with an east to north east aspect and so other in the banana circle. I really think I am not meant to have the wonderful crop this far south. Having said that we have just had a mild winter and things have come through better than in past years but the cassava was no longer around. Last I heard from you was after the big cyclone up there. I do hope you have brought things back to normal and that everything is great for you.
Kind regards Mark

Mike can you check my last post in the members forum on latitude 14. You will know the bushes I am talking about i think. cheers. Andrea

Hi Michael..

I got a couple of pepper plants from violets and lace.
Also was given a couple of different taro's and cassava's.
Didnt even bother with the usual winter garden this year due to wet weather so we are going to have to plant a tropical vege garden.

Had brekkie and cocktails up at the Elantra a couple of weeks ago in exchange for a bit of garden advice from the owners.
Also at the table was the "father" of your Mona lisa's...he came and got a few bits and pieces off us so hopefully we can expect a few interesting edibles in return.

So what happened to the dry season,man.?...god its a swamp out here.!...

I am afraid that a couple of unusually cold nights finished them off. Oh well, it was worth a try. Thanks anyway, once again.

I received the cocoa seeds today. THANK YOU. Most have begun to sprout and are now safely tucked into pots. I will now proceed to hover over them until the first leaves appear! Thanks again!
