After few unsuccessful attempts, now cucumbers, green and red leaf lettuce, iceberg, carrot and parsley are ready to eat. All I need to do just go and pick them up from my garden:) Thanks to my dear organic farmer friend, Paul, now we have beautiful little farm in our backyard. It was not an easy job! There was not much rain this year, so we had to keep the soil wet. We had few problems on the way, like cucumber bugs, fungus soil, and yes birds !!! Last time we tried planting tomatoes, they ended up with bugs in them, birds did not have any complain though, at least tomatoes did not get wasted, what can I say! To keep the birds away, I tried every solution out there but nothing stopped them! Up until Paul just put simple green trash bags on sticks and put it onto soil! Just like that! and they never came back again! It was that easy, obviously no fancy solutions needed!!!!
The climate is wonderful in here, so whatever you plant, it just grows itself, just need water and you gotta keep an eye on the birds:)
