I plan to use 2l water bottles to slowly water my tomato plants. There are various methods inc. tubing and aquarium stuff but I’m going for the simple one of planting the bottle upside down with tiny holes in the lid (base cut off). First I made 4 tiny holes as per instructions but I’ve had slower showers tbh. Way too fast. 2nd go had 1 tiny hole (1.5mm), tights fabric over lid. Slower but emptied overnight.

But I’d forgotten about this one. Mère de ménage which produces an apple perfect for the classic Apple Charlotte dessert. Chap who came to help prune was amazed the tree was still standing, let alone alive. It leans at an impossible angle and the trunk is more dead wood than live. It had a gentle prune to remove dead weight and it seems so much better for it. The bees appreciate it too 🐝💚.<br/><br/>#BloomScrollingWithABee<br/> <img src="https://media.mas.to/media_attachments/files/116/510/647/150/960/110/original/690250e7f7dfba58.jpeg"> <br/> 2026-05-03T12:33:35Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs99khn2w32hegwqn4ftl67myzvqfapaklkh6yh7dxqx8a4x6736eczyrpjqw2arffn02kvw2w068s27jw5h4u42mmf4ukzvwmazkwy3tefjf4rjlw #WaterfallWednesday from a misty Monday.<br/> <img src="https://media.mas.to/media_attachments/files/116/487/421/279/303/272/original/e04636eafc5310f1.jpeg"> <br/> <img src="https://media.mas.to/media_attachments/files/116/487/421/934/468/182/original/de36c24364e7bcfd.jpeg"> <br/> 2026-04-29T10:10:00Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsda5k9tpxs2h52hy4heyf0rj82emffxs3es0ar0u77pelyxmwygwczyrpjqw2arffn02kvw2w068s27jw5h4u42mmf4ukzvwmazkwy3tefjcde3d8 I need a screen door for my greenhouse so I can leave the door open for ventilation when I’m not around.
