~SUSTAINABLE LIVING FOR CHALLENGING TIMES

Thanks Eddie, I'm glad you are still enjoying our pictures and the web site. We're planning to do Calendars again, but I need to get out and take more pictures.

I tried corn outside this year as an experiment - it didn't turn out well, mostly because of the cool wet Spring. Even the corn in the Greenhouse suffered.

Our problem with growing corn is that our temperatures are extreme. We can change 25 degrees Celsius easily each day. We have hot days and cool nights, which corn does not like. So the corn had a double whammy this year. If we lived on the Coast, we could grow corn much easier, altho they have had troubles this year too.


Garlic grows very well here. I just started a series of posts about Growing Garlic over on the website, if you want to take a look.

There is no downside to Garlic - easy to grow and very very good for you. You can grow a lot of heads in a large pot if needed.

Have fun in your garden, you have been working hard and it shows.The bonus is having great neighbours like you do! I'm looking forward to seeing more pictures
