This year our summer started on the first day of fall. When I’m not traveling I’m gardening. I’ve replaced nearly all the adobe soil in the garden with silt from a nearby river along with potting soil and other organic material I’ve composted in. Am using both beds in the ground and raised beds. Most people said they had terrible problems with growing tomatoes in this “arctic” summer we had this year but mine have done very well. The heirloom is currently 5.5 feet tall!
I have pineapples planted in pots around the garden for good luck. The sub-tropical Sapote is doing real well and is now about 6 feet tall. The avocado got burnt on our one 43C day, but the Cherimoyas and Dragon fruit are doing well.
Check out these pics taken a few days ago:
Lovely pictures of your plants. Your garden did much better than mine did this year. Everything burned up here in Texas with an abrupt change from spring to dead of summer. It happens that way, frequently.
I found your blog thanks to Helen Ginger, and I’m glad I popped over.
Très joli potager:) Surtout dans ces conditions climatiques…
Félicitations au jardinier!
Hello, Dave. I’m a new follower. I love these pictures. I enjoy gardening myself. Our summer vegetables did wonderfully and fed us plenty. We spent last weekend planting our winter vegetables that we grew from seed. Here’s hoping my winter vegetables do as well. And that yours grow hearty as well.
Oi, adorei seu blog. Já sou seguidora. Adoro fotografias e as suas são lindas. Beijo.
LOCATION: Well it looks like the location where they filmed ‘The Island’ with Scarlett Johannsen and Ewan McGregor, other than that I do not know. Pretty impressive looking though.Gorgoues plants too.Our weather is turning decidedly wintry. :O)
Thanks for the nice writeup!
