Hello everyone! Does anyone here grow vegetables on their place? My husband and I love our garden in the US and would like to be able to continue that once we move to Roatan in 2 years.

I have attached some pictures. I built to raised beds that are 3 feet high by 4 feet by 8 feet so it is easier on the back and knees. I just started vegetable seeds in pots and within four days the tomatoes came up. The season is 12 months which is great. My wife and I go to Aqua Fit and a lady and her husband gave us a bunch of cuttings and coconut palm trees. You should see their place. They are so generous with their plants.
I would also recommend you join this Facebook group. Roatan Garden Society
I have been following this Aussie since his climate is somewhat similar. You can skip to 4:20 This what I am building. We have been collecting material to fill the beds. Think of it as something the height of your kitchen counter and you go out and pick your vegetables.

There is a fantastic online course on permaculture and a great global community to learn how to garden in any climate in a way that is also great for the planet. Im interested in creating a school to teach this in Roatan as a way to help save the reef and build climate resilient communities in the region. Any connections with like minded others or someone with farmland for sale would be great. Www.geofflawton.com
