🌿🌿Waiting 🌿🌿🌿

 Waiting for tomatoes .

Waiting for Epiphyllum Curt Backeberg  and Epiphyllum Clown buds to open .

Waiting for Grapes .

Waiting for my Cosmos cuttings to take root . 

I pinched out the tops of all of my Cosmos seedlings  and stuck them all in two 3" pots of compost .

 I watered them in well .

 They are standing in an old washing up bowl with about a quarter of an inch of water at the bottom .

They are so delicate . I didn't quite believe that this would work ....still not sure !

  I did this two days ago and thought they would have passed out within half an hour ; but next day , they are still standing !

My African Keyhole Bed - The Pumpkin Patch 🎃🌿🥒

A very warm and humid morning and the weather looks set to stay this way for some time .

  I decided to plant out my Courgettes , Butternut Squash and a couple of Pumpkins ( for the children to carve for Hallowe'en )

I spent most of the morning  pulling out bindweed roots .

 I worked hard to get as much as I could out ..every last little bit of it ...hopefully .

      Then flipped over the paving slabs to make two fairly level steps .

 One on pointe at the back , this should allow me to step in and water everything .

A watering hole in the middle . Watering into this centre hole will encourage the roots of the plants to go down deeper .

 I have chicken-wire all around to keep the bunnykins out .

      

                     Planted them all out !   Time for lunch and a flop !
