174 Crops in small plots Gourmet bed 175
Spring to summer Autumn to springGourmet bedWhen space is limited, think gourmet, and fill your bed with crop varieties that you could never find in the supermarket. They offer a superior taste and often look fantastic, but take no more time and effort to grow than ordinary crops.
INTO WINTER Keep your bed productive with frilly endives, sown in autumn for winter harvest, and garlic and broad beans, which will be ready next spring and summer.
READY FOR SUMMER After the last frost, plant the tomato and tromboncino courgettes, and provide support. Also plant the oxalis. The other summer crops can be sown from seed.
Look out for unusual
or heirloom varieties
of tomatoes, carrots,
and beetroots to enjoy
their subtly different
tastes, colours, and
textures. Why grow the
same courgettes that
you can easily buy?
Try tromboncino ones
instead, with their
amazing fruits, and
grow them alongside
lemony-tasting purple
oxalis leaves.

Choosing tulipsTaller tulip varieties are ideal for borders, where their graceful � owers are held above the neighbouring plants, and where they can be sheltered from strong wind and rain that can damage them. Shorter varieties are more versatile and are a good choice for the front of borders, containers, and windowboxes. Smaller-� owered species tulips, such as T. clusiana, are excellent for naturalizing in lawns.
Cut � owers
Indoor pots
Patio planters
Tulips are easy to grow for cutting and should be picked before the � owers are fully open. To save robbing your borders of colour, plant the bulbs in spare soil, such as in an empty vegetable bed, or in large containers. Once cut, discard the bulbs as growth the following year will be poor.
For indoor displays, plant dwarf varieties into pots of compost during mid-autumn. Stand them outside in a cool, sheltered spot for at least eight weeks and regularly check the base of the pot for signs of roots. When roots show, bring the pot indoors into a cool, bright room, moving them to a warmer position once the shoots are 5cm (2in) tall. Keep them watered and they will � ower within two weeks.
Most bulbs should be planted to a depth of three times the height of the bulb, and since tulip bulbs are quite large, they’re planted deeper than many others. If planting bulbs in containers, start with the largest bulbs and plant in layers separated by compost. Bedding plants can be planted at the surface, which the bulbs will grow through.

Australia and Sri Lanka have roughly similar-sized populations, but Australia is about 120 times larger. If Australia were as densely populated as Sri Lanka, it would be home to nearly 2.5 billion people!
Some cities are more crowded than others. If Manila and London were divided into tennis courts, Manila would have 11 people on each court and London only one.

CHINESE COMMUNITIES
How many people are there in China?The population of China, including Taiwan, is about 1.4 billion. In around 2050, India is likely to displace China as the world’s most populous country.
Australia is the world’s sixth-largest country, after
Russia, Canada, China, the USA, and Brazil.
There are as many people in China
today as there were in the whole
world around 150 years ago!
The USA has about 316 million people – nearly 14 times more than live in Australia.
The area of China is only slightly greater than that of the USA, and Australia is not far behind. But China’s population is more than four times bigger than the USA’s and about 60 times larger than that of Australia. Here, the three countries are shown in proportion to their populations.
China has a population 60 times larger than that of Australia.

328 329wildfiresextreme weather
wildfiresA lightning strike on combustible material, such as trees or grassland following a period of hot, dry weather can cause a wildfire. Strong winds can spread the flames at high speeds across vast areas, causing massive destruction.
causes of wildfires The start and spread of wildfires depends on a combination of factors. A vital ingredient is an arid antecedent period during which shrubbery, trees, and vegetation become very dry. Parts of the world that experience a hot, dry summer are most at risk of wildfires. Such dryness is often related to persistently high temperatures and low relative humidity. Strong winds that are hot and dry promote the dessication of vegetation. Once started, the stronger the winds the more rapidly the fire spreads, sometimes at amazingly dangerous rates. Fires can move as fast as 22kph (14mph) across grassland. When the El Niño pressure system
develops (see pp.284–285), areas of the world that experience drier weather, such as the eastern half of Australia, are more at risk of wildfires. Even though conditions for fires may be ripe, there has to be an agent to ignite the flames. This is very often lightning. The thunderstorms may also produce rain, but not enough to significantly quell any outbreaks. Otherwise, wildfires can be started simply by human carelessness, or as an act of arson. This latter appears to be the case in the 2009 Greek wildfire, which engulfed 14 towns on the outskirts of Athens.
human carelessnes This aerial view shows smoke on the outskirts of Marseille, France, after a wildfire was sparked in 2009 by practice shelling by the military.
wind directionIn 2007 the deadly wildfires in Southern California spread across 2,000 sq km (770 sq miles). The wind carried hot embers that ignited trees far from the original point of ignition. Tragically, nine people died and at least 1,500 homes were destroyed.
lightning strike Lightning is the main ignition source for wildfires. The precipitation that accompanies it is never enough to extinguish flames once they spread.
back burning This firefighter in Pennsylvania, USA, is attempting to halt the bushfire by burning vegetation to clear flammable material ahead of the fire’s leading edge.
forest regrowth In coniferous forests, intense heat forces pine cones to open, scattering many seeds onto the forest floor, and leading to new growth.
after effects Wildfires destroy homes and infrastructure, and communities can take years to recover. Intense heat eliminates much vegetation and affects the soil, creating a significant risk for both flash flooding and mudslides, due to changes in the porosity of the land surface. In Hawaii serious soil erosion due to wildfires has led to enhanced deposition of soil material into the surrounding seas, killing some areas of seaweed and reducing fish stocks. Forests do recover, but how quickly depends on the tree species; grassland is the mostly rapidly regenerated vegetation type. Wildfires also release huge amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
infernoFirefighters battle to prevent the wildfires from damaging power lines north of Los Angeles in 2010.
distribution of wildfires
The areas of the world at highest risk are those that satisfy the climatic and land cover ingredients for the outbreak and spread of wildfires. They tend not to occur in higher latitudes or across the very hottest regions because of the lack of vegetation. Equatorial rainforests are also relatively low risk because of the normal widespread precipitation.
Wildfires (yellow and red areas) are most common in regions where there is a prolonged dry season accompanied by an occasional thunderstorm. However, some areas of high incidence are
reflections of deliberate burning to clear tropical forests, such as throughout parts of South America. In extremely dry summers, fires can occur in southern parts of Europe.

Fry the triangles on both sides until they turn golden. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the remaining bread triangles.
Pour the mixture into a shallow dish. Soak the bread (for about 30 seconds) in the mixture.
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the milk and cinnamon and whisk together.
Serve the eggy bread warm, with blueberries and maple syrup or try it with butter and jam.
Heat half a tablespoon of the oil in a frying pan on a low heat. Carefully place two triangles in the pan.
