The garden Ecosystem

My garden supports a whole ecosystem.  I was relaxing in my garden chair when I heard this little guy munching behind me.

Since summer, I have enjoyed learning about gardening and indulging in an age old practice that brings peace and relaxation. Here are a few of my girls on display. Enjoy the view from my Jamaican Urban Organic Garden.

The Game Changers

These are the game changers for my garden. I put in those tall plants you see to the back wall and they raise the level of the garden. The plants came from a friend’s garden that was already overrun and made totally unruly by plants.

I was also able to create an additional flower bed, on the shady side of the garden.

HURRICANE MATTHEW

This was early October when Hurricane Matthew was stomping through the Caribbean. Jamaica was miraculously spared, but we got some rain. I took most of the containers inside because they were being flooded.

My potatoes were the casualty because the blue buckets turned to mush and I never again saw a sign of life.

garden pests

By now, I was learning a harsh lesson about garden pests; especially because I am trying very hard not to use pesticides. It is difficult holding off. We will see. They have decimated my onion and scallion population.

The Lessons

At this point, I began to learn a few more lessons. Plants and grass don’t always mix. The grass has a massive root system that depletes the nutrients which the flowers need. SO I created a border after removing the grass from the flower bed section.

I also went full speed into container garden.Bottle of choice, iCool.  Seeds were from HiPro. Unfortunately they were massively disappointing, I have only I morning glory plant to show for it.
