that every time I wash the plants in the garden, the weather turns dusty again?

pisses me off! It was wonderful this morning. I did a lot of work in the garden; weeding, washing, cleaning, re-tying, and general fixing, but now looking out of the window, the bloody thing is turning ugly with dust being deposited on the bloody plants I took care to wash this morning.

I can’t remember when it was that I showed you the Buddha patch last, so here it is as of a couple of hours ago. You can see how scorched some of the plants look. It’s summer. The death season for everything green!

Nevertheless, have a wonderful weekend my friends and happy gardening.

Do I need to say more?

What a wonderful bed. I don’t know what these plants are, well I might know a couple, but this gives me ideas for what I can convert yet another patch of lawn to. If only they actually grow in Bahrain. I must find out.

I was pleasantly surprised when I followed a link from my other blog and ended up at Plants in The Middle East! Another gardening blog from Bahrain. Brilliant.

I’m looking forward to read more of his techniques and experiments and judging by what has been posted so far, it is very promising indeed.

Well done Abdullatif!
