I love living in Spain not only because the weather allows you to live/be outside so much but because it's just so much brighter with those dull gloomy wet days being a very rare occurrence, but it also means when you go away, even in the winter all those plants in pots still need watering........
So what happens today, its one of those rare wet gloomy days, so therefore unable to do any gardening or DIY outside so decide to create a pot plant irrigation system.
Easy enough except Palms, Ficus and Olive Trees in 24in pots are a lot heavier wet than their normal dry selves. As for the rubber tree and Oleanders they are staying where they are, will just purchase some irrigation pipe connectors to extend the system...............
And now with pipes criss crossing and running all over the terraces I sit here with an aching neckand shoulders watching it start to brighten up, thinking will I be fit enough to do the garden tomorrow............Damn those wet gloomy days.......
