We were up at the Property this week, and it was hot. Not as hot up on ‘our’ porch in the hills
… as on the flats, but hot. Bleckh. Annual cropping gardens are hot, moist places; that and a chicken run may not be the best thing to put first as the wind comes on the property. If we can rip up (boy, that sounds easy) the cement inside the compound, that would be an ideal place for the rotational beds. The wind comes up over the front garden — currently bare and hot — and could be planted to be cooling and scented. Citrus trees, maybe. Jasmine. Tuberose, even. That would be lovely.
Fun Fact: proper landscaping can reduce temperature extremes by 20 – 30 degrees or more farenheit.
Cool site!!
