Gardening Question

10 years ago

My husband and I will be moving to Belize, Toledo District, sometime before June of 2016. I have purchased about $200 worth of vegetable seeds to plant my garden and I have several questions regarding gardening topics.
1. How do root vegetables such as potato do as we didn't see too many potatoes at the local farmers markets. Can you get Yukon Gold potatoes in Belize?
2. How do different varieties of lettuce, broccoli, brussel sprouts and beans do?
3. Is the rainy season too wet to keep a garden growing or would the garden have to be covered during this time?
4. Do peaches and sugar apples grow in Belize?
I do plan to compost in order to get the perfect soil for growing vegetables. Any gardening tips would be appreciated.
