Forecast for 23 today, felt warmer because there wasn't much of a breeze.
I am working on extending my irrigation system so all I have to do is turn taps on and not spend too much time dragging hoses around that may or may not be the one that's long enough for a given situation.
The hops and silver birch now have hoses that are allocated just to them. I need to do one for the vege garden. The fig has its own, bottlebrush has its own. It's really the orchard and cider apples that need extension.
I added more hose to the orchard one so that it can water both rows in one go. Next to create a loop for the cider apples to do the same. That will save damaging them and the sprayers by dragging them around the farm. I have to remember to get hose clamps, the fluctuating water pressure can pop the connections and end up not watering the plants and giving a square meter of grass a flood irrigation.
We headed over to Pete's at about 4pm to help him move some furniture around. Wine and nibbles afterwards and we came home with an outdoor setting. Nowhere really shady to put it, but it has a lovely big table and we can entertain outside in good weather.
Here's an idea for garden decorations, chicken mesh ghost figures. Remember you can click on the picture to make it bigger.
