I'm moving house in a month and so is my garden.
This literally means I will live across the road from where I am staying currently. I live in the Northern desert of Peru, and it is very dry here. It is also on the coast, so I have to contend with salt issues around my plants.
I also never know where I will be next.
Therefore, planning a garden patch is a little tricky, but I may have come up with a solution for that. The next place I am living at, has generally a small surplus of water for one person living in a plot, mean't for many more. Sunshine and warmth are no problem here, but water is.
Everything in pots.
I adapted my current garden to the local surroundings. Store bought soil and locally sourced compost to enhance growth. From everything I have planted, lavender, thyme, basil, Thai basil, parsley and lemon grass has down well here. Just quench their thirst with constant water, and they are off to the races. I'm even try to seed some bell pepper varieties I got hold of recently in Lima.
Lavander loves the local climate.
I got this plant about 4 months ago, and it was tiny in comparison to when I bought it. I know of a few places around Lima where I can pick up young plants for under 1USD. Not only that, but I will buy at least ten and try and get them to Lobitos. From what I have researched, this plant has a lot of potential benefits.
I will keep you posted on plans and progress.
