"Lettuce:  let's take it to the food bank before it bolts.  Valve:  soundslike it is time to replace that valve.  I'll be back to the garden on Tuesday and will replace it.  I wonder why the water was turned back on?"

"Dwight - We'll keep things growning there. I've been out for a couple of weeks with a bum shoulder but picked some of the NZ spinach. It's still tasty. Winter veggies are coming on, so if time permits, come out to share the harvest."

Hi Ed,

Where you able to water Dwight's plot today?

Thanks for the info. I didn't get over there today buy will do so first thing in the morning to see what adjustments I can make.

Ed, your been plants aren't doing so well, particularly the row nearest to my bed. I gave them a bunch of water today, but I'm wondering if that trench is really doing its job, and that it might be better if the trench was ALONG the row of plants, rather than beside it.

I also drove a stake near the end of one of your rows, because the squash plant there is not very noticeable, and I almost damaged it with the hose.
