watermelons are just a cash crop as long as you have the land to grow them plus the water.

We are attatched to the agricultural water system but the people we bought it from says they haven't ever used it.
Hubby can see a couple of places where the piping has collapsed..so it will probably be a big job..but invaluable if we can get it rigged up.

Normal water cost here would be prohibitive..the agricultural water is much cheaper.

This is our Sluice....:coffee2:

and a working one on the orangery on the other side of the road.

They field flood with a system of sluices..the system is fed by irrigation canals which bring water down from the mountains.

I have ordered a Neem tree..it will come January.
With Land..I might as well grow/produce me own.

I also intend having an orangery..or mixed citrus grove.
The orange oil I made from the skins last year actually stopped red spider in its tracks...without any plant damage.

Anything that kills red spider is a Friend of mine.

I'll Experiment with it more..I only tried it on my buddahs hand..I'll extend the trials until I get it right.

Also my polytunnel book recommends a Garlic spray once a week..I may need an alternative until my neem tree grows.

always on point mossy! :check:

already have grey hairs... no concern of mine... no-one interested in this old codger anyway.. :grin:
 
Chillies Ronin..they are Alkaloids..same as our Canna..tobacco and Morphine..ALKALOIDS.

Pain Killers.

What a way to tell a girl she is getting Old....:yoinks:..I do know what you mean though..I was saying to Muddy I worry that I am too old to use it fully...But..I am under no obligation with it..I can just sit on a rocker on the patio if I feel like it...

Cheers pop..I Lost about 60 minutes to that catalogue..chillies toms and herbs,,great variety...:coffee2:

I want to make a kind of sensory garden for me..so herbs will play their part.

I'm already eyeing up my Patchouli plant..counting how many Cuttings I can See for when it starts spring growth.
My Jasmine too...I Think I shall get some small February flower ones..grow the season and take cuttings next spring... :grin:
