At the end of the day we decided to seek the help of a local lady to work with us to get the garden manageable and growing.
Our boys like to call her a 'machine', she is amazing as cleaning up the garden. She nailed the entire pineapple patch in a morning. The next morning she worked she tackled the banana patch.
The boys and I felt a little sheepish about our efforts, until we spoke with an ex-pat who said the local weed by scraping off the surface, rather than pulling weeds out by the roots. This made us feel slightly better for our initial efforts.

I planted some seedlings upon our arrival and some of them have come up and are growing nicely, nearly ready to transplant. I am guessing some seeds may have been consumed by bugs in the ground before they had a chance to sprout. So I shall plant some more today. I am looking forward to telegraph cucumbers and moneymaker tomatoes. I'm hopeful the courgettes will prosper, the humidity can rot the flowers before they are pollinated.
