We also have our first tomatoes and courgettes flowering and the nasturtium, too. Sun and water are the main ingredients for growing. Speaking of water, here a fun picture:
Four water cans, three tabs (on opposite sides of the garden) and I. Since the hosing ban, we can only water with watering cans and let me tell you, the about 80 boxes we have take a lot of it. So there was me, running back and forth between the tabs and the flower beds and in between the guys who put up the inflatable roof. (Fascinating how much work is involved and how long it takes.) Every now and again I poured some fluid (tea) into me, and then went ahead. My arms are certainly a few inches longer and my already flat feet are now straight, methinks.When all was done, three hours had gone and I thought it's time for a beer. I was joined by the florist, whose flowerpots I also watered, leaving him jobless for the day. I honestly didn't know they employed a gardener and I was in full swing with my watering, so I just poured water into anything that looked dry. Erin, and I had a good laugh over a beer. A knackering, but pleasant day it was. Guess I'll sleep well tonight.
Well, I suspect you won't have long to wait for some rain. I'd love to know what your tomatoes taste like.
ReplyDeleteMy wild guess would be: like tomatoes. :-)
DeleteHi, my favourite Gorilla.
They don't all taste the same, though, do they? Supermarket tomatoes can be horribly tasteless. I'm sure your ones will be better!
ReplyDeleteYou are right. I'm strange with tomatoes, always sniff the packet in the supermarket. Nothing worth than those that taste like water.
DeleteWe have tall growing and bush tomatoes and last year's were delicious. I'm a cherry tomato fan and eat a lot of them, too. So I'm personally looking forward to the sweet and flavoursome fruits. :-)
Beautiful garden! Although, I did pop over because I thought you'd made a sudden and alarming and *cough* slightly illegal *cough* career change. ;) Good to see you're still above board!
ReplyDeleteLOL Nope (or should that be dope?), though I heard it's lucrative.
DeleteI have a strong aversion against drugs. I may have smoked one of the other joint, though, but that was a long while ago.
Alcohol is enough. :-)
Thank you for the compliment. I'll take some more pictures when the roof is down again. We're all meeting on Sunday and Monday for some sessions and BBQ. Can't wait!
