Gardening in Saudi Arabia - December 2015

The weather have unexpectedly changed, to the better, these past few days or even weeks.

Was in a taxi today on the way to the office and the driver, who does not like being in colder weather, was too happy to say we kicked off at 26c in the morning but Riyadh is suffering at 7c.

I like colder weather because it means farmers can plant more variety of veg and herbs during these cooler months, I mean, here in Saudi Arabia.

For the home gardeners, well, it is also a few months wherein we can plant lettuce, tomatoes and different varieties of pepper.

My suggestion is to plant them in container.  This way, you can let them stay out in a location that gets shade after 12:00 noon.  Having them under direct morning sun, in my opinion, would be enough to keep them going and happy.

Smile when you face your plants, they can feel it.

Hi where did you get the worms you showed in you tube? did you bring it from Philippines? Once I saw one worm in my soil in Riyadh but it died. Do you know how can I get it in Riyadh? Last october I saw a warm in my Dragon fruit plant pot , which I brought from my country. But in any of the store bought soils - I have never seen one. It would be great if I can get hold of some worms.
