Signs of Life

27 - 28 February 2020

Signs of life in the water lilies - hurrah!  Dave keeps saying 'be patient', but I'm worried we may have killed them by washing all their soil out, and then planting in water too deep for them.


 This is the best water lily - most are showing new growth: little maroon leaves, but this one is reaching for the sky!

 While the marginal calla lily now has two pure white blooms.

These cabbages are the ones from the old kitchen salad bed.  The one that has had a new stone wall built around it to make it a knee-high raised bed.  We were wondering if we could wait till these matured before putting the rest of the soil spoil heap into the bed, but they are moving too slowly, so we have tried relocating them. Dave doesn't hold out much hope that they will survive.

Finally, on Friday 28th, we had a day full of rain.  We took the opportunity to do some errands in Lefkas Town, then returned after lunch, lit the fire and settled down to listen to the pitter-pat of rain falling into our water storage facilities.  Hurrah!
