Oh that sounds so good!! I’ll do that next time especially cuz I have home grown donni’ in the freezer.

A whopping 5! This was last year with no shade covering. The leaves got all crispy early in summer. Not much fertilizer; didn’t track volume of fertilizer but I fertilized same as tomatoes…every two weeks. This year in 2024, I put them under shade cloth and just cut the last cucumber plant down today, August 5. Powdery mildew has eaten them up in this NC heat/humidity….. now getting so much rain this past 3 weeks….still raining. I did feed it with diluted milk every week. Didn’t count quantity but enough for us to eat fresh….i don’t preserve them….more than last year. So, I’ll continue to grow under shade cloth; fill Earthbox every 2 to 3 days instead of 4. Also, this year I grew them with tomatoes, basil, green onions, borage, marigolds in same box….. not a single cucumber beetle; last year had enough of the beetles to be a nuisance.

Yes

Yes, but it’s very popular at Chamorro parties….. with added achote to differ a bit from Filipino flavors.

Love making Guam food videos!!

I would follow recipe as is so you know it turns out....then use all coconut milk.

Each brand of coconut milk can vary in thickness. I use the Chef's Choice blue and green can. I simmer until the milk thickens. The water will evaporate and the plantains will release some starch......which in turn makes the coconut milk thicker.

Buenas!

I use a small cookie dough scooper, which makes dough balls about the size of golf balls….. gets average of 2.5 dozen per batch.

Thanks!

I am still learning too!! Here’s my notes I keep. I’m still in learning/experimenting mode. earthboxgardeninghollysprings.blogspot.com/2024/05/growing-garlic-for-guam-food.html

Thank you!!

I couldn’t grow much my first 2 summers but I just kept on trying. It does take a couple seasons for soil/even potting mix, to get good for growing produce. This year is much easier than prior years!

Onions

Onion

You can eat right away. To age/cure them will allow you to store for many months depending on type of onion, and storage conditions (cool temperature, minimal light, air circulation).

Yes, but it is more work to turn on the grill.

Yes, public property like in the jungle, along the road. No when on someone’s property, or where there’s a no trespassing sign.

@@GuamMamaCooks what about papaya? Same thing?

@@ImpossiBlueTV Same thing.

Awesome!! You can read/print recipes from my website, Paulaq.com.

Buenas yan thank you too ! I get them at Earthbox.com.

I drilled half inch holes on bottom and along bottom edge.

Sorry!! Squirrels here aren’t giving my any problems. It’s the rabbits n birds. The forks definitely deter these rabbits….. but the forks do need to be 1 inch close. Birds will stay off if forks are close as well.

Riyenu….ri-dze-new. The i is pronounced short, like the i in “him.”

@@GuamMamaCooks thanks 🙏🏽

Awesome!! The only way I do chicken and ribs on the grill!!

They might, though I’ve never seen it. However, they make a thicker version, sweet tamales, that is sometimes steamed or boiled in foil.

You as well!!

Hard round ones.

Rabbits getting hungrier every year!! I wasn’t sure if they ate onions so I put the garden fabric around the pools……my first year to grow slicing onions. This is the first year I saw them eat green onions….i lucked out because I had planned on removing barrier.

I’m still a newbie to gardening and learning many trials n errors. I want to have sufficient experience n knowledge before I do how-to-grow videos.
