 Well its been a week of mixed weather, at the beginning the wind was replaced by rain which went on for two days then balmy summer weather. The garden looks a lot fresher and we saved our recycled water to fight the drought another day. We are now picking fresh mint, spring onions, parsley, rocket, webbs lettuce and the broad beans, and we are extending the vegetable garden daily. The mimosas needed another trim and the branches were mulched, we have to turn the mulch pile daily now as it begins to compost almost at once with the warm weather and this if left makes the mulch go mouldy, so it is important, the compost bins got a turn as well along with the rotting down straw and manure piles.We have taken some new photos of the gardens, houses and the local nature, will be posting soon!!
Well the evenings are getting longer and we can now enjoy a well earned cup of tea under the olive tree next to the veg garden to the sound of the crickets and the scent of the local pines. |
