The cold weather has set in almost everywhere in the US, and even in sunny California. We have been busy getting the garden ready for winter.
This is our first attempt at setting up winter protection. The past few years, we have either left the plants to fend for themselves and die in the process. We also housed a lot of the precious ones in pots that were moved indoors.
The precious plants were put inside the ground this winter, to give them the nutrition and the space to grow. So we had to built some protective cover for them.
This is the biggest structure, and it protects 5 Drumstick plants that I carefully grew from seeds (read it here and here)
This protects the Malaysian Guava that died every winter but has successfully managed to come back.
The most treasured possession i.e. my curry leaf plant looks lush in this picture. We pruned it well (with just a few sprigs to spare) and covered it p with some shade fabric and Burlap cloth as with the rest.
The foliage on this plant does not seem like much but the pruning yielded us at least a pound and a half of curry leaves (which is quite a lot, and should last me all winter)
