The plain has its own weather
Away from the coast the temperature swings further in both directions. Summer afternoons are hotter than anywhere on the shore and clear winter nights are cold enough to catch tender planting, so species that survive at sea level are not automatically safe here.
Rainfall is lower than in the Tramuntana and arrives in the same few autumn events, which puts the emphasis on storing what falls and on ground that can hold it once it has soaked in.
The traditional plant list is the reliable one. Almond, carob, fig, vine and olive have been on this ground for centuries because they take the extremes without help.
What gardens in Es Pla usually need
- Irrigation designed around a well or cistern
- Planting that tolerates hot days and cold nights
- Almond, vine and carob brought back into condition
- A clear boundary between garden and farmland
- Windbreaks across open ground
- Deep mulch to reduce summer evaporation
- Clearance and firebreak margins on rural parcels
- Seasonal management rather than weekly visits
Most requested here
Is the interior really colder in winter?
On clear nights yes, noticeably. It is the main reason a plant that thrives on the coast can fail inland.
How reliable are wells here?
It varies by parcel and by year. Have the flow measured before an irrigation system is designed around it.
Do companies cover the whole plain?
Several are based in it. Give the exact village so the request reaches the right ones.
