And So the Hot Season Begins

So the hot season here has begun, daily temperatures upto 35 degree Celcius, making it a hard time for the plants. Luckily there is finally some rain, so will just have to see what fairs best. From my trip I was able to get hold of some European seeds, so have begun with European basil, French Marigolds and some mixed herbs, to see what will actually be happy in this climate, watch and see.

Before I Go Travelling

So just as some of the fruit I have been growing is starting to ripen and get ready for eating, I am off on travels for 3 weeks. My Boyfriend has been left in charge of watering duties - and eating the produce, will be interesting to see what state the plants are in when I get back.....
