How does your garden grow? - Page 11

That sounds wonderful!
You seem to have a short growing season, Mustafa.

Providing the weather remains fairly warm we still have another month or so of growing and ripening.
The tomatoes and cucumbers have only really just started in the last fortnight or so.
The lettuce (second batch of sowing) and cabbages are still growing.

MustafaMc · **Re: How does your garden grow? -** 08-24-2008

No, Glo, we actually have a long growing season as it stays quite warm through October. Most of the plants have matured though and aren't producing much any more.

glo · **Re: How does your garden grow? -** 08-24-2008

Given your location I did expect your growing season to be longer than ours, Mustafa.

Our main growing season is May to late September - although there are of course plants which will grow and produce outside that time span.

MustafaMc · **Re: How does your garden grow? -** 08-24-2008

Another thing is that we received very little rain in June and July that curtailed plant growth. For the past couple of weeks, we have been getting a lot of rain and there is a hurricane expected to bring even more. We have gotten more regrowth lately.

Our soil is a heavy clay and when it is dry the soil shrinks and forms cracks. There are times when I could shove my fist down the cracks in our lawn. We had quit furrow watering the garden because the cracks consumed too much water. I have gotten a drip irrigation system, but have yet to install it. God willing, I will have it installed before next growing season.

I have seen those fruit (Yammies?) in our local Muslim shop.
How do you eat them, SAYA? Do they need cooking?
I'd love to try them.

Funny how they are hanging is those little net bags. Are they to protect them from birds or other animals?

SAYA · **Re: How does your garden grow? -** 08-24-2008

Yeah I guessed that,
for some kind you eat you would feel like there is something very dry in your mouth and you need to drink water. You have to chose the right kind to grow.
Alhumdulilah my father is a fan of palm growing, so he is in charge of gardening ^_^
