With parts
of Australia gripped by drought
and many cities not having sufficient
water storage to sustain their
increasing populations, growing
water-demanding vegetables that
wilt with the slightest hint
of dry weather may seem a bit
of a luxury.
However there are many hardy
subtropical and tropical vegetables
that thrive on the natural rainfall
and many of these are presently
widely grown or were in the
past.
This issue Arno takes a look
at a few such specimens worthwhile
for water-restricted Brisbane.
