Sincere thanks to Fabio RUIZ for authorizing me to use some photos of a family garden in Colotlan, located in the northern extremity of the Mexican state of Jalisco.
On Fabio’s blog :
http://colotlan.wordpress.com/2010/12/14/otros-cultivos-en-el-huerto-familiar/
you will find these photos of brocoli, lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus, Andropogon citratus), seedlings of radishes, small pepper or chili piquin (Capsicum annuum var. aviculare) and zucchinis (calabacitas).
They show that even in dry areas people can grow their own fresh food.
