… of rainfall we have had between 20:00 and 21:30 – and there’s much more forecast; No issues about watering the plants then, that’s for sure.
I was up before the alarm again this morning and after breakfast that gave me almost 3.5 hours on the website. I like being on summr hours!
First job outside was to sow the beetroot and spinach seeds that I had left to soak. That meant doing a little bit of hoeing of course. And then I finished off the solar shower. That is exactly how I want it now, but there are some kind of pressure issues that need to be resolved. We’ll have to see how it goes.
After lunch I did a little measuring up for my next trick, but while I was doing that, my eye was caught by some blossom down in the jungle that is the bottom of my garden.
Of the 20 or so fruit trees that I planted in 1999 and 2000, one is still there, but it seems that there’s another one too. Way down the slope a little, and this is what the blossom is.
It’s surrounded by a pile of these scrub trees and is getting no light at all and so I resolved to deal with this issue.
By the tile I had knocked off I reckon that I had cut down over 20 trees (one or two of them were significant too) and the tree concerned is now clear of oerhanging trees. That will bring more light to the tree, and also more light to the rest of the garden, includind the vegetable beds.
Not only that, I managed to make my way out the other side too into clear space for the first time for 11 years and that really is something to celebrate.
And then tonight we have the rain …
I’m not sure what to do tomorrow.
