Patch of abundance – July update
Looking back on that decision, it appeared to be a mistake. The mowing down of this patch of abundance coincided with the beginning of some very dry and hot weeks. While before the mowing the garden was having a low watering need, after the mowing things changed. All potted plants have been drying up in no time and even after a rain, within a few hours of sunshine, the plants begin to dry up. I have had a real difficult time keeping up with the water requirements of the garden.
Is it a coincidence that right after mowing down my patch of abundance, my garden dried out and could not retain moisture? Perhaps, but perhaps not. I do know for sure that before the mowing, the high grasses that surrounded the pots ensured proper retention of moisture as well as a provision of morning dew.
Next time, I will mow the patch of Abundance in small sections at a time.
