Tomorrow is my last day on this assignment and I am looking forward to having some freedom.
Friends are coming tomorrow afternoon and bringing dinner ... what a lovely break!
Yesterday another old friend came for lunch and brought me a beautiful morning glory which is anxious to climb the deck. When it has climbed a little higher I will post a photo.
I have realized that I planted too many zucchinis in all the wrong places ... and now have to transplant them before they take over. I am thinking of moving them to the grey water field area. I just have a few tomatoes and some herbs there now so they will be a nice addition, and they can sprawl out to their hearts' content.

Re sprawling 'take-over' plants: Denise Atkinson says she plans her cucumbers etc. right into a big bag of sheep manure. There is an odorless kind for $3.49 at Loblaws.
They grow well and if you want to move the plant, just move the bag! Brilliant.
That is -- PLANTS (the seeds, actually) -- not plans.
Sorry.
What a great idea!
I have unearthed four zucchinis so far plus one nasturtium ... and have planted three of the zucchinis near the tomatoes that Flo gave me and taken a nasturtium and a zucchini to Flo. I suspect she will get another zucchini soon.
You all remember Rowboat Flo, right? She is the inveterate gardener in these parts.
Unfortunately she gave me a pot of flowers in return ... what kind? --- just red flowers that grow about a foot tall ... hmmmn!
So now i have to figure out what to do with these little seedlings ... as well as all the things I still have to thin and sort and find places for.
Every time I start a new garden patch I have to find ways to make it dog proof ... usually that means finding rocks that will set it apart from Kenya's normally free run places.
But I have to say I am loving this new stage of my life.
One zucchini plant is too many, isn't it? *g*
