Perth and Fremantle are built on sand, or in gardening terms we have sandy soils.
It is still possible to grow almost anything that will take the heat and fairly cool winters. I spent this morning giving additional water to some of the less drought tolerant plants in my garden.
At this time of, "Climate chan
ge", many of my plants are not the most appropriate for Perth's long, hot, dry summers and I should be investing in more suitable ones. Still it is hard to give up my roses and though they have suffered from neglect over the past ye
ar with my long absence, they are still hanging in there, even if they are looking a bit straggly. Shortly I intend doing the same as many of my neighbours, who are now planting vegies along side their more showy specimens. It seems we are all becoming a lot more conscious of doing our bit to use our limited resources wisely.
