Got the pool heater fixed yesterday (those darn spiders - seemingly they are attracted to the smell of gas and built a nest in there) so the family came over for a swim. It has been cool overnight most of this week so it took a while to get the temperature up but they were both in and James swam 30 lengths. The pool is only 10 meters long but still that was an impressive 300 meters.

| I now have two pumpkins - this is the larger one. Should be ready for Hallowe'en. |

| Not sure what this is but it was worth snapping. |

| I asked Natalie to stand by the sunflower to show how tall it is - she's about 5'7". |
 |
| Almost ready to be picked. I've had quite a few cherry tomatoes already. |
Your hibiscus are such lovely colours.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I am always amazed when they keep producing flowers as I have to bring them indoors over the winter.
DeleteExciting, isn't it, Chris, when the garden starts producing every year. The tomatoes look lovely and that's going to be quite a pumpkin!

I have been disappointed with a couple of my tomato plants but this one is producing well.
DeleteLooking at your delicious tomatoes I am wondering if I could grow tomatoes in my balcony garden. I think I have heard of grow tomatoes in a bag...that would be a bit of an adventure! Beautiful delicate flowers,the yellow one particularly! Keep well Amanda x
ReplyDeleteYes, you definitely should try tomatoes in a bag (or just a pot) considering your warm weather. They taste so much better than store bought.
DeleteYour sunflower look great. Mine are still a little way behind. X
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how tall they have grown!
