They’re starting to turn yellow… I can’t wait to pluck one out and biting into it!

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 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!
