Apples and Oranges

By Anitsirk

Things are progressing in my very small greenhouse. :) A large tomato has started to grow, and I'm so happy for that! :)
Yesterday, at work, I described the problem I have with my 'apple cucumbers'. They get a flower and a little knob, then nothing. My boss told me I have to act like a bee and fertilise the flowers... of course! Not all cucumbers are self pollinating! I didn't think about that... So today a took a cotton thing and swirled around in the flowers, making sure all of the flowers got some of the other flowers pollen. Hopefully they will grow. :)

I got caught up in making another journal... and one thing I learned today is that when tired, don't do book binding stuff, because the final result can be something other than expected... I realised, when I'd placed the inside fabric, carefully glued it down and got a good result... that it was upside down... Oh, well... it's only for me and lesson learned.
