Our garden has been suffering. Not much rain in September or October and dam levels are at the lowest on record. We've been hand watering some plants we really need to nurture ... Everything is so dry, and it's only Spring. Summer will be long and hot.
At the community garden at the end of our street, where we have a plot, it's harvest time. We came home with baskets full of purple cabbage, rainbow chard, onions and herbs.
Normally when we harvest the Spring crop, we prepare for summer plantings - a few variety of tomatoes, lettuce, carrots, eggplants ... but with the water restrictions, the dry conditions and the fact we're living further from the plot while the reno is underway, we're re-thinking our summer sewing. Perhaps some potatoes? A few herbs? Not completely certain ... and as for tomatoes, we think we'll just have a couple of plants in a pot in our rented house, so we can water them as needed.
