Much is said about fruit being grown and readily available. I would like to grow my own vegies, is there a problem I should be aware of?

Veggies are also grown in Belize and widely available at markets (stores are not the best sources of produce), but there should be no problems in growing your own, other than, perhaps learning what, when and how to grow in a place with rainy and dry periods. Depending on where in Belize you decide to live: north is much drier than south.

Consider salt air and salt in the soil. I know people who do well growing fruit and vegetables here they just had to get use to climate and soil to figure out what worked best for them.

The best time to grow vegetables is November to February. I start all my seedlings in trays under clear shade clothe till they are 8 to 12 inches high, then I transplant them into raised beds that I have built up with compost and manure. The bugs and fungus in the topics will kill your garden otherwise.
