Dates, originally uploaded by malyousif. Almost done! I’m afraid we won’t be here to harvest them, but instructions have been left to do so and store them for our return
Rangoon Climber, originally uploaded by malyousif. So happy that this climber has finally decided to flower after being moved from a pot and placed into the ground. It’s got healthy growth now (yes, even in this heat) and these are the first flowers we get on this plant.

My garden, originally uploaded by malyousif. We spread a sand layer over the grass to give it some umph when it starts growing again in the next few weeks. I hope it’ll get rid of the bloody ants or at least, get to be as thick as it was again. Have a wonderful weekend my [...]
