RE: Local Flowers and the Chayote Experiment
It's nice that you are finding some plants that want to grow in your setting. That makes gardening so much easier! It's really half-wild gardening, lol. It's so much easier to learn to how to cook plants that grow well for you, rather than trying to grow plants not well adapted for your area. Do you see many yucca or prickly pear cactus in your area?
I see lots of both, I have a small prickly pear on the property and a lot of yucca thats wild. Or maybe its cassava...
Maybe you will like your prickly pear fruits or the new pads. And the Yucca flowers are worth eating! I've been reading posts by @galberto, in El Salvador. Some of the plants he's growing may do really well in your area, too, without much effort. He's big on bringing the wild plants closer to home, where they can really grow well. Good luck with your chayote -- and I hope you learn to really like to eat it! :D
