Four months ago Jan thought her Mango tree had scummed to the heat. It looked desiccated and had no foliage. I suggested we relocate the pot to a slightly less hot position. We then started to water it daily and to our relief signs of life appeared.
More recently it was transplanted from the pot into the ground behind the pool. Jan added a bag of compost in the base of the hole in an effort to both provide some food and ensure the tree roots grew down. The tree now appears to be well on the way to recovery.
The project to lay concrete kerbing around the pool pavers and been temporarily suspended. After hand mixing seven bags of concrete by back decided it wanted a rest. fortunately I’ve also used all the bags of concrete. The weather forecast for next week is cooler conditions which should fit in nicely with the plan to complete the project.
Recently we heard rumbling from the end of the street so I went to investigate. A tracked excavator was demolishing the house on the corner of the street.
The day prior there was a family living in the house. 24 hours later there was a vacant lot. It’s corner block and my assumption is the new owner will be building two smaller dwellings, each with road access.
I’ve just realised another week has passed and it is Saturday……. Pool cleaning day! Oh the joy. At least Jacques gets a swim!
