A week ago I rescued two of my sunflower patches with water from the dam, pumped by the solar panels and pump we re-comissioned. Bill was away for the week and commented on how much they had grown, so I took a photo to compare (the picture from last week’s post is the same spot). It’s good to see they’re making quick progress now.
I haven’t been brave enough to check the other patch I have further down the hill, but we still have not had enough rain to wet the ground, so I don’t hold out much hope for them. On the bright side, the patches will be easy to re-dig and sow when we do get a few showers.
