It has been almost 2 months since the last post. We have been concentrating on planting a variety of plants for cover storey, mid-level storey, bushes, ground covers. We ty to pick plants that are native, non-hybrid, plants that were thought to be weeds but in fact are very precious like the amaranth or locally called kudyapa. We planted a lot of pineapples, local bananas, taro, native coffee, and kudyapa. The plants we recently bought from the plant sale in town are all thriving. Thanks to the ITCZ or intercovergence zone which brings local rains almost everyday.
Our ferrocement roof is holding really well. Although when the temp goes up we definitely feel it inside. It is like we are inside a tagine with small vents. Thankfully we get nice, cool breezes. The El Niño has definitely made the heat even more unbearable during the peak hours. At least the rains cool the roof off pretty quickly.
