Winter gardening

This year has been hotter than usual. The summer vacation spent in Kerala destroyed most of the plants but now everything is doing well again. The annul flowering season has started and in October we bought verbenia, dianthus and vinca plants from Jadaf. They are doing very well. The weather has not really cooled down but mornings and evenings are nice and pleasant. Today a dust storm seems to be brewing. A new Bougainvillea is looking great. I also got a beautiful curry leaf plant, which has started putting out new leaves. My cousin in Al Ain has a garden full of French beans and I have planted some in pots too but each day brings more and more leaves, it hasnot flowered and no beans yet. I planted left over tomato seeds from last year but they are not doing well. Last year the plants did well but not even one tomato was formed.
The nursery at Jadaf has been moved to the international city and dragon mart area. No one knows the location yet so, this year no one has been able to plant the petunias yet.
