Hello all,
Hope everyone’s doing great,
I’m hoping to put some plants in my backyard this summer and the only obstacles I face are the weather and the time.
Regarding the weather, I live in a mountainous area (900-1000m) and during summer, the weather is unpredictable: some days it’s extremely foggy and some days it’s scorched earth. Nevertheless it’s mostly warm.
Some plants were able to survive and actually thrive like peppers, eggplants and some herbs such as basil and mint. Tomatoes and cucumbers had a hard time and we got a very small yield relative to their potential. We also had to put on some nets to protect them from pests while the pepper plant didn’t need them at all.
As for the time, I’ll be there second week of June till late September and I consider myself a beginner so I would love to grow tomatoes but I don’t want to invest great time and space and not have a great yield.
What do you guys think I should grow?
So far, I’m considering the following: White Lisbons (I want an onion/spring onion that will grow quickly), Basil, Mint, Peppers, and Sunflowers (We don’t have so many sunny days but I already have seeds and I want to experiment with them)
Thank you Gs
