The Bitter Cucumbers

In his last post, paddy mentioned he was playing a game of chance by leaving the cucumbers on the vine, knowing how many pests we have here in Paddy’s Garden.

Well by the time we got them off the vines they had gone quite yellow which indicates that the cucumbers will be quite bitter. We tried one of the greener onces and can confirm it was very bitter in flavor.  pew pew!

Thankfully Paddy and I have handed the cucumbers over the Paddy’s Kitchen who will turn it into something wonderful…

Paddy has been noticing quite a bit of bee activity in the garden.

At first we just thought it was our good combination of flowers and vegetables attracting a good amount of bees..

It seemed they were just after a drink and our water saving pots we use in Paddy’s Garden held more than enough for a few bees and a plant…

Now Paddy is saying there is just too many bees. I had a look in all the usual spots such as the BBQ and roof eves for a junior bee hive, but Paddy says he knew all along – the bees are trying to set up shop in the bottom of 3 of the water saving pots.

We may have to convince the bees to use somewhere else but it’s sad because bees are so important to growing food and there are so few places in suburbia for them to live.

Paddy does look like he wants to play with the bees and I’ve seen some of them do some low passes over him, so it may take some effort to live harmoniously with a bee nest Paddy’s Garden
