(previously titled Cultivating People in Central America)

One of the first things that people who start to live here in Central America consider is what to plant and how to cultivate it. And the list of possibilities is usually of vegetables commonly grown in temperate zones. Most of these can be grown but many will take a bit of special care. You are better off starting with easy-to-grow and more trouble-free tropical vegetables, such as winged beans, the taros like ñampi or tiquiste, yuca, jicama and so forth.
