Crazy 8cres Adventures

Crazy 8cres Adventures Thank you for all of your support through our journey of creating a local food source! We are onto new adventures in the Dominican Republic!

We are now living in the Dominican Republic and will continue to share our journey here and the different agriculture we explore here. Follow our journey as we strive to share what we learn about agriculture and organic gardening in the DR.
We will be posting videos and photos of the unique style of gardening as we learn from the locals.

Ooooooh I found 2 buds on my dragon fruit “Pitahaya” and 1 more bud on another one in a pot that I need to transplant.

Yesterday my 13.5 lb squash fell off the vine before I could collect it but thankfully I got to it before the bugs did.
So today I made squash soup!
Yummy.

The recent flooding that occurred here washed away a main bridge to connect the mountain road from Peurto Plata to Santiago. They replaced the bridge with a temporary one in record time and working on rebuilding the main bridge. It’s looking great!

Also it’s cacao season here so as we travel along the mountain road, we see patches of cacao beans drying in the sun.

Update Thanks for the guesses!
There’s 4 that can be seen easily, 1 more behind the top green one and 1 more green one on the top right of the tunnel but a leaf is hiding that one pretty good so it’s very hard to see. 🥰
I also have another pumpkins growing along my fence.

It’s weird to have “fall” squash im the spring but as you can see, the plants are already struggling and dying off because of the humidity and summer heat.

Squash tunnel!
Somehow all of my squash decided to grow on the outside of the tunnel instead of inside dangling down. But they turned out beautiful!
Even a few seeds from the farm that managed to still grow here after almost 4 years.

How many do you see on this side of the tunnel?

I decided to plant 2 of my 3 poinsettia plants a few weeks ago so that I can enjoy them each year without buying new ones.
The two plants are in the sun for much of the day while the one in a pot is still on my covered patio and never in direct sun.
The difference is amazing! How fast the planted ones turned green while the shaded plant is still bright red.

Im always so amazed at how fast everything grows here. We’ve had lots of rain, warm sun and the night temperatures arou...

Im always so amazed at how fast everything grows here. We’ve had lots of rain, warm sun and the night temperatures around 24°-26°.

The neighbours goat just had triplets and they came down our lush green road for some fresh snacks. 😍
