    Almería is even more dry than Murcia or quite similar, and some zones of Alicante province or East Granada province. I live in the North of Spain, in the Basque Country, but in the driest zone of the Basque Country.

    Its sad to see how this land becomes a desert...

    Unfortunately we had here the last 2 years also drought. People are happy about this Mediterranean climate, but farmers and gardeners wishes the „typical german weather“ back. I would waive tomates which like rainless climate, but many other vegetables dont like it.

    The rainiest area of ​​the peninsula is in Andalusia, In Cádiz province, the same that the driest area, also in Andalusia is a it's a matter of landforms, not due to human action.

    Anyway, thanks to irrigation, de driest zone of Spain is preciselly one of the areas that produces the most vegetables in Spain, because in turn it must be the region with the most annual hours of sunshine in Europe.

    I love my garden and I enjoy taking care of it. I have just started to get involved in this recently, so I don't know much about how to properly care for plants and how to provide them all with the necessary for rapid growth and proper development. But I read a lot about it here. I like that now I can easily find the answer to any of my questions in an article written by professionals in this.

    I am very passionate about gardening. I've loved it since I was a little kid. It's therapeutic and very rewarding. I am in a bit of a dilemma these days. I am torn between the beautiful, huge cedar and fir trees that have grown so much in the past few years, and the sunshine. I love growing fruit and veggies, but am not able to grow as much as I would like, because these trees are blocking a good 3 to 4 hours of sun. There is a corner of the garden that gets the most sun, which is only about 5 hours...6 if I count the hour of mottled light. That is where my kitche garden is. Strawberries actually do really well there. I get a few tomatoes... but not nearly as much as I would like. I am inspired by English gardens, and food forests.

    I grew Dahlias for the first time last summer. Most of my garden consists of Rhododendrons, roses, lilies, peony, camellia, Japanese maples, heather, lavender, yucca, lilac, dogwood, ornamental cherry trees, lily of the valley, Himalayan Honeysuckle...and a bunch of other native plants and shade loving/tolerate plants. And a couple of fruit trees... Fig, Cherry, and this is my Espalier Pear tree...








    Since I grow everything organically, covering my veggies is very important, since i live in the forest.
    Too many pests. The covers work really well.
