Bustani huko Florika
Kusini magharibi mwa Florida & rsquo; majira ya joto, yenye unyevu yanafanana sana na hali ya misitu ya mvua, ikitoa kivuli cha miti mirefu na kwa kweli na mvua ya chini kabisa na sio unyevu mwingi. Kwa hivyo haishangazi kwamba baadhi ya mboga za kawaida katika bustani za majira ya joto za ECHO & rsquo; zimetokea katika misitu ya mvua ya kitropiki na nyanda za joto na zenye unyevu. Mboga mengine muhimu yametokea katika nchi ambazo kuna miezi sita bila mvua na miezi sita ambayo ni kama majira yetu ya joto. Nimechagua mboga kwa waraka huu ambao naamini una nafasi nzuri ya kutoa katika msimu wa joto, lakini wakati mwingine bado wanakukatisha tamaa. --- TN # 59
