Strictly, it is not Spring here. The locals call March the end of summer. Rains start in April and May is renowned for down pours and heralds the beginning of Winter.
However,to anyone who has ever known true Spring. That is, Spring in four season climate, this would be IT here in the sub-tropics. This is the closest to April in England that Panama will ever get.
The rains are starting softly now and coffee is in full bloom. There are fresh green shoots on the coffee trees and the air is full of the scent of the flowers. A wonderful orange and floral scent that is filling the farm.
For me, I like it even more than seeing the cherries. We have very good flowers this year. Lots and strong large ones. The organic fungicide worked very well, the new shoots are clean and shamrock green. It is the most beautiful sight and full of promise for the harvest.
