This way you keep your soil microbes alive and happy. <br />Let us know how the caper bushes go. Did you know you can pickle nasturtium seeds and they make a good caper alternative (it's in the River Cottage preserves book). Nasturtiums grow well here in summer, have lovely flowers and shade the soil too.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08366555870844713776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1344790453643766925.post-63647772847767726932013-04-04T21:32:16.159+08:002013-04-04T21:32:16.159+08:00Hi guys, found your blog after watching Gardening ...Hi guys, found your blog after watching Gardening Australia! <br />Love gardening too and always find the Perth summer defeats us when it comes to the garden and we do leave it fallow, rather than trying out things to keep it ticking over.<br />Really like your idea of getting a green crop going instead. I thought of experimenting with caper bushes too, as they seem to love the heat and dry. Not sure how they'll go in the winter, but nothing like experimenting hey!<br />Will be returning to your informative blog regularly for more tips!

It's just that our garden is a bit higgledy piggledy, not with neat, discrete plots. I shall try to do this better though...Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08366555870844713776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1344790453643766925.post-69807910895195519292012-03-18T18:19:17.806+08:002012-03-18T18:19:17.806+08:00Damn, she beat me to it.

How about something that LOVES the hot and dry, like rockmelon or perhaps even watermelon, that will also keep the soil beneath shaded? I reckon there's a lot to be learnt by looking to the mediterranean where they've been doing it for so much longer. Anywhere with a mediterranean climate and has indigenous food plants that grow there during the summer - Israel, California, ...?Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15054229252412854240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1344790453643766925.post-33473559755469395002012-03-18T07:35:00.879+08:002012-03-18T07:35:00.879+08:00Hi Ads
