It has been 5 days since I have last blogged and that has been my biggest laps so far. I had some to catch up on even from the prior week.
I will start on this blog a week ago Thursday when I went back to Accra to do some maintenance on the garden there.
Things were very overgrown so the task for the day was to prune, weed, and gather seedlings to take out to the larger farm at the resort. We gathered a lot of pepper seedlings, tomatoes, and pawpaw.
As you can see our tomatoes are coming along nicely and will be ready for harvest soon. After weeding the rest of the beds look good too.
The above picture was taken after I did all the weeding and pruning of the moringa you can see the difference from the first picture of the garden to this one.
I used all the cuttings from the moringa to mulch the basil and other plants in another part of the garden. Moringa is a nitrogen fixer and its leaves are rich in nitrogen and other minerals for the plants.
I propagated some more of the Italian basil varieties in my seedling bed. On the right is some local basil it is not a fragrant as the Italian varieties though. You can also see that our nursery is thriving with the other trees we have here. There are two avocado trees, some local grapes, citrus trees, and some more pawpaw.
From the garden I needed to see a friend in Osu. We met at Osu beach which is a neighborhood in Accra. The chinese are building a break water and a harbor for the fishermen here. They have made significant progress from the pictures I have posted before.
Dzigbordi and my friend Jaguar posed for a few pics out at the end. We had to keep a close eye though because some big waves still crashed over the top occasionally.
As the water ran along the break water the wave would break through the rocks creating an interesting effect shown in the video above.
I will wrap this post up with some more shots of the sunset in the area. My next post will be an update on the bigger farm out by the resort. It was a busy weekend at the resort and yesterday we were all very tired from serving over a hundred guests. So I will be catching up on more blogs soon as I get time.
