Day 158 June 18th
Our condo neighbours say our trees are blocking their light so we have thinned them out somewhat. They could actually get much more of a result if they just trimmed the bits overhanging their garden.

Moss
Day 156 June 16th
We have had a very damp autumn/winter with a much reduced quota of sunshine, The result is sumptuous moss.

Stawberry flowers
Day155 June 15th
The flowers look very healthy and promising but they and one other cluster are all I have to show for 36 plants; not very encouraging.

Rogues Gallery
Day 154 June 14th
The excavations for the new improved drainpipe went right through the part of the garden where these sculptures normally sit. They had to be temporarily relocated for their own safety.

Wasp nest
Day 152 June 12th
The wasp nest with attendent resident wasps lived ouside the upsairs bathroom fan. The tiny wasps seemed quite happy and industrious until it fell down yesterday. No sign of the wasps.

Drainage
Day 149 June 9th
A blocked drainage (not sewage) pipe caused lots of water to go where it was not supposed to. The plumber had to dig several trenches to find the pipe.

New Gloves
Day 148 June 8th
Yesterday I noticed a hole in my gardening gloves. That evening, at ROGI I won a raffle of a new pair of gloves. Good timing!

O'Reilley's
Day 145 June 5th
Still at O'Reilly's. We stayed in one of the cabins which meant we didn't have to get up really early to have time for a good walk.

First Beetroot
Day 143 June 3rd
I'm not sure when is the best time to dig beetroots, but I think they are probably best when they are still quite small. I have to believe that because they don't show much inclination to grow bigger.

Feral Potatoes.
Day 142 June 2nd
I didn't actually plant any potatoes in this bed. It must be from a leftover. I was giving this bed a rest from them but if they are so resiliant I'll leave them and see what happens.
