PLANTS!

Perhaps the most exciting thing about Costa Rica is the plants.  Everything grows there - effortlessly.  Plants we treasurer in our homes in Toronto (the temperamental ficus) or wish we could grow in the garden ( a splendid hibiscus) are right at home or considered weeds in Costa Rica.


So to planting at our new home.  Cleared of vegetation to allow for building, it is time to renew the tropical look and feel.  So let it all grow back naturally you say - that would mean razor grass and nettles, dense vegetation that needs a machete to cut through, and not very hospitable or attractive.  So, something more staged is needed, but hopefully it will in a few months feel part of the jungle behind.  Perhaps even our own bananas and pineapple - Pina Colada here we come!
