This has been the craziest spring of 9 in the Middle East. Where’s the heat? I mean, it’s hot, but it’s not HOT. Lately we’ve been having hot California style days rather than blistering, oppressive, sweat-drenched mad dashes from the car to indoors. It’s May and we haven’t even complained that it’s hot yet. That never happens.
So my garden continues in lush abandon. Soaking up the growing rays instead of shriveling under the burning eye in the sky. I’m growing basil, sweet potatoes, squash, grapes, and eggplant along with some flowering vines.
Enjoying this harvest season as long as it lasts and planning future plantings for October. This year everything grew as a volunteers from my composting (discarded seeds sprouting here and there). Next season I’ll clear out some of the squash vines to make room for more tomatoes. It makes me happy to think about planting again in this space.
Plants make me so happy! I love yours are still lush and green and I love your rack of flowers!
