Hard to believe that it is already time for us to return to Arizona. We've got a Sedona wedding to attend in October followed by the traditional family holidays of Thanksgiving and Christmas. So here we go again, "rainy season proofing" the house in Costa Rica. Of course, the native trees and plants will take care of themselves, but we've got several varieties of hot peppers as well as tomatoes, arugala, tarragon and some assorted medicinal herbs growing in planters that we need to supply water to. So, here you see Gordie, using his Costa Rica adaptation of a "ladder" to install a rain catchment/plant irrigation system for the planters. We've tested it and it looks like we should come back to some fresh veggies after all.
Not to be neglected are the plants we have in window boxes. We've got them all grouped and positioned in an open spot in the yard so I am also hoping they will be ready to hang back up when we return.
Next we will get to see what effect the long Arizona summer has had on our fruit trees and miscellaneous plants up there. Always something to look forward to.
