My garden today: The effects of the Cape Town Drought

The last mielie of the season. We can live like kings!! 😆
The garden has been hard hit by our water restrictions. Every drop of greywater is now reserved for toilet flusing duty. I'm giving the more important plants -my fruit trees and any surviving food- a ration of water to keep them going.
The corn was spent so it's being left to turn to compost now. This was in December IMG_2998.PNG
The rose had quite happily been trying to force out buds after some intense banana-peel feeding in December. I think this might be the last one for a while.

The plants are all turning a crispy golden brown. Great color for a bucket of KFC. Not super great for plants. Weather models show we might get 6mm rain on Friday night.
Here's hoping!

Living on the inspirational beauty of a rose.

Pretty much 🙂

Lets hope that when it rains, it pours!

Definitely!

That would be great!

wishing you well with good food and rain...
