Continuing my series of plant close-ups (really an excuse to play with my new camera, which allows for manual aperture, shutter speed, white balance, and focus!)…
I’ve been babying these things for a long time now. The mounds of yellow flowers are slowly being replaced by the little green guys, and I’m really starting to get impatient!
I had a bit of a scare last week, when all the leaves started drooping very quickly. Not enough water? (Doubt it.) Too much water? Not enough sun? (Both more likely.) As it turns out I just needed to be a little more heavy-handed with the fertiliser. They picked themselves up literally overnight and are back to there usual happy selves.
But there’s one more hurdle: these things are hopefully going to be covered in ripening fruit just about the same time we need to be moving house! How is that going to work? Don’t ask me… any suggestions? Stay tuned…
