Are you wondering what the "orti" (= vegetable gardens) look like here in Capri ? These are pictures were taken from a vegetable garden as it looks like at the end of July, situated along
Via Axel Munthe in Anacapri, at just five minutes walking distance from the famous
garden and villa of Axel Munthe. Last week there was one day here giving respite from the heat: With the sun disappearing momentarily behind a thick wall of damp mist, a few drops of rain came down on the surprised passers-by but the brief shower was not able to provide relief to the parched darkish brown soil. The unrelenting sun in July makes the leaves of the vegetable plants yellow prematurely by mid-summer.
