Worked on expanding our houseplant irrigation system. My work (automated irrigation and lighting) is almost invisible. Dwight’s work (interior landscape) is very visible. The chairs are meant for the balcony, but, particularly in this hot weather, we’re happy to sit here.

Rewired this manifold for an irrigation system for a rack of indoor plants. The system has been performing well for two years. Next, I’ll replicate this system for a second rack of plants. When we start traveling again we’ll be able to water our plants from anywhere in the world.

Installed drippers to irrigate native grasses on our balcony.

In heavy rain, picked up three cart-loads of plants from a garden center for our balcony. Being contrarian paid off: there were plenty carts, and no lines at the checkouts.

Right now, we’re not going to warm places, but we can bring warm places to us. Thank you, Dwight.

Didn’t shower.

Dwight transformed a Honda Fit-load of twigs and branches into winter interest on our balcony.

Filled our Honda Fit with boughs and twigs.

Our patio furniture is now inside for the winter. Dwight is the gardener with the vision, I designed and built the lighting and irrigation.

Best pea shoots yet.
