Work dominated this period and I was unable to post over the past few months. I hope to make up for it through this and subsequent posts. Firstly, the water melon in planter. Raised my spirits initially but brought me down with a thump! It grew well and I rigged up supports and a plastic sheet to support the water melon. Unfortunately I made a small mistake I did not cut a hole in the plastic sheet! Let me run through summer’s offerings quickly. Eggplant, tomatoes, and green pepper. I had a good harvest ...

Restarting my office garden. Square foot plot ready for planting. After about 10 days, I planted an assortment of vegetables:. First square-foot plot with assorted veggies. These included corn (8), tomato (2), cucumber (4), eggplant (4), chilli (4) and Okhra (8).

First row facing: Okhra and marigold. Second row: Eggplant and chilli.
