start of the rainy season

Laguna Mojanda with the Cyambe Volcano behind: it is important to remember that our water in the cloud forest filters down from the páramo, or high alpine grasslands.

Just as things are wrapping up for the winter up north we start our planting here in Ecuador. The rain came about 6 weeks late this year but things are popping nicely now.

Spring in the Andes

As many begin to plant  up North we are counting the days until the looong rainy season ends and harvesting! corn, piñas, aguacate, beans, yuca….everything is coming in beautiful this year thanks to an abundance of rain and the utilization of diluted sulfur calcite to control the associated powder funguses.
