There is water in the greenhouse, the polypipe has come up from underneath, a copper run attaches to it that is controlled by a solenoid valve (itself controlled by a raspberry pi) with a dripper kit attached for plants on the shelving, and a soaker hose for those in the ground. There is pipe in place for the other greenhouse, which I am told is getting moved this winter.
Excellent - we had a battery-powered timer for the greenhouse irrigation, but it just wasn't reliable enough - so I made a mains powered one, with an electronic plug-in timer, so we could time it to single minutes of 'on' time, this drives a washing machine filling valve, so that we had a lot more operating power for the valve - it's worked 100% reliably for twenty years.

There were various applicators, drip, flood and spray. I considered running another timer, set thirty seconds ahead and operating a buzzer, so you had time to get out before the spray commenced...

Haha, yes, the dripper hose isn't the best and I got sprayed on when the demonstration occured after I returned from golf.

I’m no expert either so if I’m wrong then I’m sure someone will come along to correct me.
I think that the top one is a peony and the bottom one an anemone.
We have 2 peonys, one in the front garden, one in the back, this year neither have flowered - no idea why, maybe winter was too wet...

A long time ago, in a land far far away... (Shanklin, Isle of Wight) as a child on holiday an American couple asked my parent if they could take my picture infront of the lovely 'fúckers' ..

Stafford forum may change 'young men' ( fúckers) to 'fucias'...

Hmm stumped. Ours failed miserably, leaves, but no flowers.... Blind, the same as my daffodils.
Yes, our daffodils were pretty poor this year. Probably didn't help that I reversed the RV down one of the flowerbeds when I was proving that I didn't need any help reversing into the driveway.

Daffs here weren't brilliant this year, but I deleafed them a bit early last year - left them to go fairly brown this time - we'll see next year.

They are named after a bloke called Fuchs - as in Sir Vivian Fuchs, who drove across Antarctica, or something like that - it wasn't him, but some other Fuchs.

There was also Klaus Fuchs, who was done for spying for the Soviets - it wasn't him, either.
