February was a very short month, and with the heat and humidity here, I have really only ventured out into the garden when absolutely necessary. It is time to catch up with Lizzie at the Garden share collective , and see how everyone fared with huge amounts of rain - normally it is us that have huge amounts of rain! We normally dont have to water at all at this time of year, but I have been giving the garden a good drink once or twice a week, if we havn't had any rain. I want my plants to develop deep roots. I keep spreading out compost as a mulch so that will keep the moisture in the soil as it breaks down. The shade cloths also keep the garden soil cooler. The main purpose during the wet season is to make sure that the soil is covered and the plants that grow now get the moisture they need. This is also the season where there are lots of bugs, some I dont even see, but I certainly see the chewed holes in the leaves. My red papa...
