It is so dry here. The climate here verges on being too wet much of the time, but this is the 2nd dry summer in a row.
Because we rely on rain water to fill our water tank, I haven't been able to water the gardens much. A patch of lettuce and a patch of pak choi are the only things that get the water, so they are holding on.
The tomatoes have struggled, though produce a small bowlful each week, and I get the odd bean.
But the figs and grapes have come through a treat. In spite of the dry or maybe because of it, they seem to be extra sweet and there are so many of them, it seems like even the birds can't keep up.
