RE: Garden Journal Entry 3. Things Coming Along, And Creative Courgettes.

It all looks wonderful and a relaxing place to be! My garden is only fit for tough indigenous plants and succulents and there are times when I envy the lush English country gardens but we don't have the water resources for that

Thank you for giving a read. Yeah the wet weather here is a blessing and a curse. It helps for most things, but can set one at odds with different types of fungal blight which can devastate the best growing efforts. As backwards as it sounds I'm hoping my winter crops preform better than my summer ones as I got a late start this year on my summer garden. Thanks again for popping by. :)

@nikv have you tried wicking beds?

@riverflows, the sad fact is that even with adequate water, many things just roast in the sun. Indigenous shade will take some years to re-establish because I took out all the trees, which are listed invasives here and were causing troubles of their own, like sucking all the available water, breaking down walls and waging chemical warfare against other plants and of course we should remove them. The Yucca is next on my hit list: I think it was you who said what a water-sucker it is
