Cool weather change and some intermittent drizzle this morning. I did 2 hours of work. Applied large pots with sugarcane mulch, added water crystals to some pots which tend to dry up fast, applied more organic fertiliser to some pots and planted out my buk choys. Time to harvest the two ripened yellow capsicums for beef tonight : Purple king beans are growing on the vines :
Tomato (silvery fir) growing bigger and more by the day :
These are buk choys...normal ones from my shepherd and purple ones from Diggers :
I had some planted in Patch B (where snowpeas used to be), between the bitter melon on the left and cucumber (burpless) on the right :
They are each protected by this plastic punnet which I keep after eating supermarket vege/fruits :
A light plastic punnet will get a rock resting on it :
4 other buk choys are planted here in planters, making it a total of 8 :
The cucumber (burpless) are producing baby cucumbers but I suspect the female flowers attached to the ends of them are not even opened yet. Must continue to observe :
The vines are a pretty sight at the moment and I managed to protect them under a piece of white cloth pegged on the trellis :
Lots of male flowers :
The eggplant supreme has two large purple (my son said violet) flowers opened. Very pretty! :
It started to really pour from noon onwards and last through the evening. I love the rain!!! My son said if I kept saying that, it was going to flood.
