Chayote squash is damn near a delicacy here and is known as a bit of a superfood locally. I'll admit, I'm not a fan of it but I've heard it grows super prolifically so I opted to give it a try. Then I got lazy. Then when I tried to plant it, I remembered much of the ground here is hardpan, making it damn near impossible to do quickly, so I just took a chance.
Because it's getting into the wet season, there's a certain amount of moisture on the ground, especially mulched ground. So I sat it fat side down (where the seed already naturally pokes out a little) standing up and left it.
When I lifted it up to check it's progress, it looked like this! So I snapped some shots to share with you, this is how food grows in the wild people.
With just a bit of my assistance for the placement. I literally have not done anything else since, however.
Something tells me this might be one of the best low maintenance crops I've ever grown!
Limes are coming! Not very many but they will be tasty :)
The organic waste we get from Verde Vegan has yielded us some free accidental mango trees!
This flower is known locally as cupo de oro, cup of gold.
I don't know what this plant is, it's just a weed but damn the flower is pretty.
Here's a shot of another flower not yet open.
Some yellow flowers I'm interested in identifying; they grow wild everywhere here.
