In the list of flowers and plants offered for sale from the ladies mentioned above, twice you list tulipanes as tulips. Actually tulipanes sold locally are what we know as hibiscus.

I am pleased to find that there is a gardening comunity in the Yucatan. I will be moving to Tulum in the near future and am interested in finding out about the possibility of vegetable & herb gardening. I understand there are challenges! I would appreciate any information anyone could lend to the subject. My interest is culinary, and I would like to be able to do an organic, sustainable garden. Raised beds? Bat guano? Shade cloth? Can lettuce grow in this climate? Any luck with tomatoes? Any experience or information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I’d just like to know about the benefits that tourism has brought to Yucatan, in particular the Chichen Itza if possible? I’m writing two University papers on the issue and would be extremely grateful if someone from the actual Yucatan state could reply! I’m from the UK, so the chances of me finding anybody from Mexico here is very unlikely!
Many thanks,
Lisa Williams.
