Hi! I'm a newbie here.
Was actually trying to find a source of vegetable seeds for tropical climates.
We have an NGO here in Belize at Falconview Tourist Backpackers Adventure Hostel called the Belize Development Trust. We do many things, but right now we have started a Hydroponics Vegetable Research Project intended to show that you can grow vegetables every week of the year for urban poverty families. We are about a month and a half into it and so far, self sufficient in Ice lettuce with seeds from Florida and radishs. Waiting on our tomatos and bell sweet peppers to see what happens? We plan to go through a year of trials. We are planting five vegetables a week, and want to do it all year round. Lot of rain lately.
Our business is tourism though and we operate an adventure hostel. http://folkmusicfl.tripod.com/adventuresinbelize/ to finance our other community projects. Vegetable growing is the latest and been on the drawing boards for several years.
We can't buy vegetable seeds in Belize. There are no choices and wonder if anybody can suggest any for our climate. We are 600 feet above sea level. Our dry season is March, April, May and the worse hot humid rainy months are June and July.
