The MAGIC time!

We have had so much rain and sun over the last two weeks that my garden has gone crazy.

It is the  time when everything suddenly has a growth spurt and tiny vegetables magically appear.

First the tiny tomatoes pop out, this one is only half the size of

my thumb.

Less than a week ago this is what I saw on my bean plants.

The most delicate pink flowers, so small that you would not believe in three days, 

they would have become

  these -------

 Still small, but in another couple of days,

they will be big enough to eat.

      There is even one lonely green capsicum,

     I hope it will soon have some company.

Most of my vegetables grow in large green boxes, that are watered from below.

These are my Lebanese cucumbers, they are already starting to wander of the table!!!

On the side of the box is the plastic tube that I must fill with water to keep the soil moist. The theory is great, but sometimes I find it very difficult to reach the tube.

Yesterday it suddenly occurred to me ,

if I poked a short piece of hose pipe down the tube,

I could pour the water down that.

IT WORKS!!

Tomorrow I am going to buy a small funnel which I will push into the end of the hose and life will be even easier!

 Here is my strawberry box, my little hose makes it much easier to place the water just where I want it.

I am 66 now and I have just solved  this watering problem.Shows you are never too old to learn!!!!!!!

Until next time -------- enjoy your garden!
