This thread is so helpful to all us newbies attempting to garden in Puna! I came here knowing I could grow things pretty much year-round (unlike North Idaho where we had only a 3-month growing season). But what to plant and when is a whole 'nother ballgame.
At the moment I'm harvesting from my garden at 400' elevation in Pahoa:
lots of basil
just enough parsley
plenty of fuzzy oregano
rosemary
had a couple handfuls of green beans; second crop climbing the fence
fingerling carrots
wee baby beets
the last few avocaodos
sunburst squashes are setting fruits
javascript:insertsmilie('[]')
Smile []
and guavas now & then from the jungle next door!
