As we tighten the purse strings in these inflationary times it is good that we do have some things in the garden that we can harvest. Over and above the vegetable plots, for instance we have our banana trees. Not only do we get delicious fresh bananas but when the banana tree patch threatens to take over the garden we can chop them down and use the centres of the tree in curry, which is exactly what we’ve been doing this week.

I do believe I said that the Banana trees were done. Well they weren’t quite. Boon had chopped down the ones we wanted gone but still had to chop out the roots. This he mostly finished today. He really went at it too, refusing to wear the gloves I got him and getting a handful of blisters for his trouble.
Hopefully we have some help tomorrow, from one of the villagers.
Our target is to have most of the grounds clear by next weekend at which point we will order in soil, gravel, etc and start getting the initial layout done.
