Oh, what difference a little rain makes and little rain is what we get here, even in Winter ( June- December ) but the remaining months are bone dry with not a cloud in the sky.
The following pictures were taken in December and today April 6th. I've joined them for ease of posting.
After 4 months of zero rain just about everything is suffering, The cows are skinny and plant life hibernating or growing very slowly. Bugs have all died off and the ants are getting aggressive in search of water and food.
Even the towns well is suffering and very few plants get watered by anyone these days to conserve water. That is just life here in our semi-desert area of Panama. A great place to live overall but a poor area to have a large garden.
Thanks for reading and supporting my blog 💗
The difference between one season and another is incredible. It does not seem the same scenario. The champion there is the papaya because it bears fruit indistinctly of the season. Thanks for sharing.

We do struggle in the dry season, but the natural fruits and veggies do ok here. The Papaya is not so natural to this area but if watered flourishes with perpetual fruit. I planted the first one at the outfall of our shower and it just exploded with fruit after just 6 months or so. I 've had way more failures than success and decided a few years ago Chickens and eggs would be my main focus, Producing enough eggs daily to support the farm and us into retirement. Or so the story goes so far? Time will tell.
Cheers
