RE: My Biggest Homesteading Obstacle, Growing in Tough Conditions.

Wow and I thought our soil was bad! Nice work. I'd love to hear more about how your growing seasons are different and what you do to combat the heat. I imagine your garden plans are a bit different than people in a more temperate climate

Sort:  

I thought I'd go extreme opposite! Lol!
I'm still learning with regards to combating the heat. I'm writing something up on it at the moment, but because I also write for a magazine they get first refusal and I can't post it here as well. I can do something a bit different further down the line though, so I will be writing more on it. That's a great idea on the growing seasons too, I'll made a note of that, thank you.

The funny thing is, South Australia is actually classed as a temperate zone for Australia! 🤣 They also describe it as being similar to the Mediterranean climate, which I suppose it is, just more extreme!

That's insane haha though I guess the desert in the middle contributes to that. Anything is temperate compared to a desert.

Being in the southern part of the U.S. our climate is much different than most. I'm still learning how different and how that changes what I can do.

Haha! Good point! Although sometimes it feels like we're in the desert!
