May 2010. Cold. Windy. Already lost one box of strawberries and bell peppers. Larry was out in the garden, we figured, at least 14 days solid, all day into the sunset pulling knarly weeds, choking mint and rosemary plants and planting a lovely creamy David Austin Ambridge Rose, a climbing Joseph's Coat and flowers that will spread nicely. How many trips to the mega store for more soil and organic fertilizer? Too many to count. Never mind the broken down gloves ripped from thorny bushes.
We added more clay pots to our already eleven Earthboxes filled with vegies and tomatoes and honest to God, those vegies in the clay pots are thriving with zucchini already. We came upon a very natural spray from http://www.spray-n-growgardening.com and ordered what was necessary to reboot the garden. It is already working big time after one week of spray. We plan to do an every 2 week spray during the blooming season.
It isn't over yet. Purple and pink salvia await a planting. I need a bird bath because the birds are bathing in a old Italian bowl I left on the ground. I need an umbrella for the patio table because the winds have ripped huge holes in it over 9 yrs. If you look too hard or too far, there is always something you have to fix or replace.
Hmmmm. I wonder if Mango trees would grow up here in the Sahara?
