    Rach you look so cold standing there in the rain 🌧 ☔️ 💙 if the birds werent tweeting youd think it was the middle of winter!! Feels like its been raining since July!
    Glad to here your grandad is okay and I hope spending the day in the tunnel with your all your plants and installing the solar system lifted your spirits! Imagine how much time you'll save watering in the summer 🤩

      @@thetinygarden_ 🤣🤣 it's like 30 steps away, but then I have to open the gate, move a box of woodchip, open the poly tunnel door, take a bungee off, go through the netting, grab an empty watering can as it's never filled up, go back out to the tap, fill it up, wonder which way the tap is off before water spills everywhere, go back in and water. 😂😂 that's like 5 minutes?
      Log on the app, click two buttons! Voila 🤣🤣 blooming genius 😎🌸😂

    Wow that rain!! 🤯😫
    Seemed ironic to be talking about rainpoint during that downpour 😂
    Looks an interesting set up. Be interested to see if you feel it waters them enough during the season.
    Here’s hoping grandad stays healthy, people are kind and the weather is kinder 😊

    😂😂 and I thought I had a lot of tomatoes 🍅 but they are in the house it’s so cold at night. It is on and off rain here but it’s on,y 8c 🥶 and even colder at night. I think a lot of people are losing the mojo but hopefully some great sunshine will help. Glad granda is ok ❤. F’em if they don’t like ya right 👍👍. It’s lovely to have a poly to play in isn’t it. For sure sideways then you can grow on each side 👍. Pak choi looks amazing Rach.
    It’s the one hing Canadian sellers don’t do is a sponsorship I’d love a Rainpoint system. Maybe Christmas or birthday😅😅.
    Great update Rach and invisible Eric 🤭🤭, happy gardening 👩‍🌾, Ali 🌧️🌤️💨🥶🇨🇦

      I love it in the poly! Been really really hot today so not much work done.
      The rain point set up is fab! We can just let it crack on incase we get busy and forget to water some days 😄👏🏽
      Glad you enjoyed watching, Eric was doing housework 😂🌺🌧️🍅
