In a time of high rising food prices and even the fluctuation of prices between supermarket s at different locations on the island, gas stations, local merchants and importers ect, as St Maarteners we should look to ourselves as the next best alternative. Suppose the ships stop coming?
What’s the next best step you may ask ? ANSWER: Independent food productivity! Myself along with my step father one day being a bit upset after paying $1,50 for 2 sweet peppers that look like they were as old as my grandmother ”bless and rest her soul” a sweet old lady that had fruit trees all around the yard, me and Ras Jah Dub decided to start a little garden in the narrow spaces that we have in the yard. We started off with cucumbers and peppers. In a week time after a nice rain fall we were amazed to see how fast the trees were growing after the seeds
germinated, that motivated us to go a bit further, we started planting more peppers, yellow and purple corn, parsley, broccoli, egg plant, spinach , a pine apple tree and tomatoes. We had a little struggle with the cucumber trees, the butter flies seem like they love the vegetable more than us for eating and breeding purposes.

With a little research and an open mind for learning from others, we figured out the problem and a natural solution to get rid of it. I had my 8 year old daughter plant back a few cucumbers for us. What I have learned in just the past few months has been a priceless and an amazing experience, the learning never stops. What I have also learned is that it doesn’t take much but a little time, patients and love to put a seed in the ground. So why should we be complaining? Look I know it’s hard to balance off your day when you have so much responsibilities to handle, but it’s also a responsibility to provide a plate of food for your family every day, that’s not a want, that’s a need! If you plant tomatoes and your neighbor plants sweet peppers, on good neighborly terms you both can share vegetation that may shorten your trip to the supermarket for a certain product once a week. Maybe you buy sweet peppers twice a week at $1,50 that is $12 a month x 12 months is $144 a year on sweet pepper alone and we haven’t even cooked a meal yet lol. The point I’m trying to get at which I know you caught on to by now , is that it takes so little to get started and by getting a friend or neighbor involved in a matter of years we can be able to supply our communities with healthy organic vegetation that can be there in abundance for yourself and enough to distribute to others to generate an income that may be handy to help out with other responsibilities . We have to stop being lazy and dependent on the and start depending on our selves. It’s not up to government any more, it’s up to us now.
