For the past few months one of my neighbours has been transforming the fields around me. The purpose has been to plant more oranges and lemons. They started clearing the land last year, and then bulldozed the area into channels. Then they appeared to have abandoned the project. Winter came and with it the rains. I assumed that would be the ideal time to do the planting, but apparently not. They have waited until the rains have finished now until probably the last week in october, also the sun is getting hot, but that is when the guys suddenly reappeared, cleared the winter growth, dug holes, and planted the young trees, and then staked them. So now all across the field the other side of the stream we have a cross-hatching of nursery trees.
The arid conditions are worrying , my concern would be the possibility of scrub fires starting across the land and not having enough water to put them out ! You’re cacti are beautiful , I didn’t realise they only flower for a day ! All the more precious that you managed to capture it on camera and share it with us . Thankyou.
