Weekly status of tyre garden - update 26

Scorcher of a day yesterday - 40c with not a breath of wind. Inside the house was cool, but going outside was like walking into an oven. Fortunately no humidity. Had to water the veggies at mid day.

6 months since starting this blog...

Overview - nothing special going on - most things in a sort of steady state.

Some of the strawberries in the foreground, bush beans - Contender - in the background.

White guavas getting bigger. They take quite a while to ripen, though.

Jerusalem artichoke flowering, which means it's getting close to dieback. The problem with this particular clump is that it's doing too well in a constrained space, so there will be overcrowding.

Orange sweet potato, creepering like crazy.



Autumn raspberry, escaped from its tyre. There's another, larger, escapee on the other side. This should make it easy to propagate. When?
