Lavish watering

And this seems to be the sum total of my major work.   Is watering gardening?  Well it’s certainly nurturing.   Especially now as I have all my hose attachement and hoses sorted.   So much fun to give things a good dose.   I hadn’t planned to do it of course; but I noticed that the pool bank was looking particularly parched.   And two of the allium purple sensations are about to open.   So I started there, just to test to see if the hose would reach comfortably and then I was off.   The hedge has been cared for, the marjoram between the trees, the terrace bank, just about everywhere I could think.

I was putting off strimming of course.   But eventually pulled myself away from my favourite warm weather activity and went back to planting out.

In this quadrant – safely netted – I added coriander, more lettuce and leftover spinach.   I’m hoping they will benefit from the extra watering the peas and beans always get and grow up and away before they become a bother.

Next to the carrot seeds went some marigold plants.   I can’t quite see the carrot seeds yet – there are too many cosmos seedlings in the way.   I’m going to let them get a bit larger and then try and transplant them away from the crops.
