My garden
13th March
The greenery are nasturtiums and some sort of clover. I don't think it's oxalis. It looks like the pictures of wood sorrel found on Google. Clover-like leaves with yellow flowers. It grows like mad in winter, as do the nasturtiums, and dries up and completely disappears in summer.
As you can see below.
14th May
And this how it will stay till October/November depending when the first rains come.
If I'm lucky a few pumpkins may provide a bit of green ground cover . A few have sprouted in the enclosed plot on the right, so there's a chance we may have something to harvest at the end of summer.
More exotic than my paddy field!
ReplyDeleteI've got the Gobi desert!
DeleteI have a lemon tree the same size as yours and it doesn't have even one lemon, last season there were six lemons on it. I wonder why.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why. Most years we have lots of lemons. This year there are a ton of them!
DeleteSorry...yellow oxalis aka wood sorrel
ReplyDeleteYeh, you're right. Just another type of oxalis. At least it's green. In winter
DeleteWow that is amazing transformation. The green is lush and even tho I've lived that heat it's hard to believe it disappears so completely.
ReplyDeleteNo sign of any of the greenery. I picked up 3 big rubbish bags of it. At least it comes out without any trouble
DeleteAnd grows back
DeleteThat’s a great way to keep the weeds down.
ReplyDeleteA living mulch that clears away for summer plantings. Do you grow zucchini’s?
Now there’s a plant that provides, and provides. In the end you can’t give them away lol
Zucchinis in earlier years did well but the last few years zucchinis and tomatoes have hardly produced anything. I think the ground needs a really good digging and then some good compost or manure. It's hard as rock now except for the small garden I keep. Watering it all in mid summer becomes such a chore. I've given up. I've got a few flowers
DeleteFor years and years here in my suburb so many back gardens had lemon trees there was no need for me to buy them. People would give them away
ReplyDeletePeople move (one way or another) houses sold - blocks divided. New houses take up so much of the smaller blocks there are no more lemon trees to be seen. Sad isn’t it.
Everyone has lemon trees here and it's a very good year. We can't even give them away and Ive still got bottles of juice from last year. Very sad all round.
DeleteI love your Lemon tree. The Winters in France are too cold for Lemons, otherwise I would have one. The Lemons we buy here are rubbish.
ReplyDeleteThe lemon trees are so big, they give us all the lemons we need for most of the year and shade the front of the house. We were lucky. They were already established when we meet ved on
DeleteIs the lemon tree blossom aroma amazing? We have smelled the orange blossom in the Algarve in spring and it is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe lemon blossom is really nice and we have an orange and a mandarine tree. So lucky
DeleteHard to believe your garden can change so dramatically so quickly. Here today, gone tomorrow, but it'll be back again soon enough. The cycle of Nature is amazing to watch!
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing difference in just a couple of months.
