Plants for the Middle East Climate - October 30th, 2006 at 06:38 PM
Good Afternoon Ladies and Gents,
I am a new gardener. I have never even grown herbs in a pot. I want to start my garden from scratch and I am not sure of the types of plants to use. I am in the Middle East so water is very precious to us and we use sweet sand instead of soil for planting. I know I can use cacti and succulents, but I would love to see some colour. Can anyone give me any tips on which plants will survive the extreme heat with little water?
Thanks,
Charlie
