Farming in Grenada

During our trip with Mr Francis we passed through the agricultural region. His family were farmers and he grew up in the agricultural region he knew a lot of people that we stopped and talked to. One worker gave us some fresh oranges straight off the tree, Mr Fancis peeled them and we ate them as we drove to the next area, they were lovely and juicy.

Bananas Trees, the blue covering is to protect the bananas almost ready for harvesting being eaten by lizards and birds.

Cocoa Trees although some pods are red and some yelow, they produce the same cocoa.





Paw Paw (Papaya) not ripe enough to pick yet.



More in my next post about the nutmegs but here is a sneek peak at a nutmeg tree. We also saw cinnamon trees, plantains, green figs which are a tiny bananas used in cooking.
