Texas, where we have 8 months of sun/heat and 4 months of decent weather, a couple of light snows, and an occasional hard freeze and/or ice storm.

Southern Alberta, Canada.

What’s different? I know we use a lot more wood here in NA since it’s renewable and we have the space. Concretes/morters/grouts also hell on the environment in their own way, and pricey here $300 m3.

I feel your pain, SW Sask here.

where it rains a lot, freezes rarely and snows once a couple of years. Never too hot, never too cold but rain, rain, rain.

Wikipedia says that i'm dealing with "oceanic climate"

It's raining now while i'm writing this 😅😭😓

plants love it though. it's a green region

Sounds like Vancouver or atleast west coast Canada. More likely Seattleish?

[–] merde@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

Seattle is approximately 8000km away

Basically a drought-tolerant garden that needs very little to 0 irrigation. Lots of gravel, no lawns (fuck lawns entirely), native plants to the area you live, etc etc.

It's super interesting, I definitely recommend looking into it.

Thank you. Didnt know that, but somehow almost the same as my garden. Just not like Gravel and so. My is made for insects so it looks wild for some, but for me it måles sence 😃

Michigan, US

[–] FriedRice@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 months ago

So it looks like I'm right. Most from US. Its not a problem, I think its interesting to see what grows at your place, and when . right now I can harvest Strawberry's ,peas (?) And soon some Kale. Imworkinhg om a ecological garden. Where no poison is used, and allwhats the garden produces stays in thecircle of the garden. 🙂

High altitude northern California. It's snow and ice during the winter, high and dry desert during the summer and alternates during the spring and fall. This May it went from 80 degree weather to freezing at night in the space of two days and then back again in the same span. Also, my yard is subsoil fill, I've been gardening for years and my garden bed soil is only just getting to marginal.

[–] FriedRice@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

Sounds difficult, but also interesting!

Luxembourg, central western Europe. We have seasons. The growing season usually starts mid May until some time in September. We have lots of rain

Georgia, southern US. Our tomatoes and squash are doing really well.

Northeast United States. USDA Zone 6B

Tomatoes and peppers are just starting to set fruit, I've had a handful of ripe strawberries and green beans so far.
