The months of January to February of this year didn't give us enough rain. El Nino still scorches everything under the sun. It is hot, dry and humid at times. Everything and everyone is getting restless. When will the rains come???
I see mortalities from the seedlings that I have planted since last year and even from the year before that. It's partly my 
fault since I have 
planted up until end of November or was it mid December of last year, expecting rains will come until February of this year 2010. An added factor is because there are native species that are hardier during long summer months than some that just cannot take the extreme weather and climate.
I can't believe that most of my yakal trees that are about 1 meter
high and already 
established under the protected shade of other neighboring trees are still dying.

native species that are found in my area. These trees are adapted to the soil, weather and other environs that is 
present in it's native habitat. Chances are there is a greater survival rate that these trees will reach its maturity and full potential.
