Loved the pix and am jealous of all your garden sunshine. Around here I have to find plants that grow under heavy shade canopy, poor soil and ravenous deer.
I should just bury money and be done with it for all the results I get.
I've planted beans before-they do well in our climate if planted early enough. I've also planted green peppers, radishes and eggplants-all things that can handle the hot sun.
You can eat purslane, the French put it in salads. It looks odd to me to see "houseplants" growing outside but with your normally hotter weather I can see it.
Good luck with everything, those beans look like they're about to really take off.
Oh, how pretty! I love your flower pictures. The bromeliads are fascinating. Spring is such a magical time, isn't it?
I'm a little jealous of your flowers. We've had a couple weeks of cold, stormy weather here in the pacific northwest. I think today's high was 56-- I'm wearing wool! I'd planted some veggies in a raised bed (my first raised bed!) and looked out the other day and realized I had a couple inches of water standing on my tomatoes and cucumbers. And I'm not sure what to do to fix it!
Spring is my very favorite season-so full of promise and down here, not hellaciously hot or raining yet.
Eek,sounds as if you need more drainage perhaps? I don't know much about raised beds-everything I've ever planted has been in clay pots or right into the ground. Raised beds don't work too well down here because of the torrential rain.

It's always odd to me, too, when I see other climate's plants, especially things that would never grow down here in a million years.
Pretty icon, Petzi.

Hi Whiskers!

Whiskers says "hi".
Then Pandora elbows him out of the way to say "hello", too.
