After breakfast I was watching a 9:00 TV show. It was almost over when Robert came. I watched the show to the end and then went out to the greenhouses to help him.
He was stringing plastic water pipes so we could water all of the plants in house six. All of the water pipes were hooked up to a timer which would turn the water on for a couple of hours and then shut off. It would come on every day. In the above photo Robert is pulling weeds that were growing around the fig shrubs.
Here Robert is pushing a landscape over the plastic tubing to keep the drip close to plant.
Robert brought some fruits that were similar to peaches. Carol and I pealed them. We put them in boiling water that allowed us to peel them evenly.
We got 15 pints of bottled fruit.
Here Carol is removing the pit and skin and putting them into the pint bottle. Robert picked all of the elderberry fruits that were by greenhouse six. There were also some in the south garden. Robert also brought some tomatoes. We will make some V8 juice in the morning. We need celery and a few other things for the juice. We went to the Fillmore Market for those things. We watched TV until we went to bed.
