Delivery and Planting
The low-bark Nam Doc Mai mango and longkong seedlings were scheduled to be delivered the next day. The downside to setting up the farm was that there was no concept of customer service like in the US where you can expect delivery to your door. We had to work with transporting the goods from the pier to Dalaguete. We rented a truck for a day which caused us about ~ $220 and hired people to help with moving.
Sidetrack to Dalaguete
Here are some pictures my husband took recently. Some pictures show the beach front that we wanted to buy.
Sidetrack to Dalaguete
This is a little off-topic from all the planning and farming that we talked about earlier. I wanted to show you guys the things to see and places to be in Dalaguete, Cebu. Maybe you'll understand why we want to move there. I'm planning to put these "Sidetrack to Dalaguete" blogs every now and then just so we know where we're heading =)
Here's a bunch of pictures of Mantalongon which is a suburb of Dalaguete. This is also known as the Vegetable Basket of Cebu.
As I said in my earlier blog, Dalaguete is a very good place to start farming. I guess you can just throw a seed anywhere in that place and, for sure, it will grow.
Big Decision
- Obong Spring out to sea
My husband and I just had a one month vacation in the Philippines. We were working pretty hard in 2008 and we figured we needed to unwind from the stress of working in an extremely results-oriented company. We visited friends and family in Manila then went to visit his side in Dalaguete, Cebu.
