A big move-resources for gardening?

Ally is going to bring a revolution of tomatoes to Brazil! LOL

Ally, how exciting! Many people don't like change. I on the other hand LOVE change! And what an unselfish gift to give your husband to allow him opportunity to go back to where he grew up. I can't wait to hear of all that you learn and experience in your new gardening world. Best wishes and safe travels when the time comes!

Thank you, Stubborn. I'm also excited about my son getting to spend time with that side of his family. It's a much simpler life and I'm looking forward to raising him without such an expectation of having "things". Even now at 5, he thinks he's needs every toy that he sees a commercial for!

Thanks!

I am familiar with merlitons-I've heard them called chayote! I've never actually eaten one, though!

You're right-pineapple, mango, and avocado are also big there.

When I've been there, vegetables are not terribly popular at all. It's a rice/bean/meat diet.

I have only ever seen one variety of tomato. I've never seen beans other than soy and pinto(a big export).

I guess I'll take what I'm inclined to think will grow and just try them!

Watch what the small farmers are doing and ignore the big ag types. Big ag there will be just as it is here; all chemicals and spray everything in sight. Small farmers have been doing subsistance farming for generations and know what they are doing. You will also find a diet higher in veggie use among them than you will see in the cities.
