BEES AND ONE-ROCK DAMS

We have several sunflowers that are almost in bloom, and 

some of the mystery plants are now collarbone-high. 

And finally, I saw a bee in the garden.

I planted a couple of one-rock dams in the irrigation channel. This 

is one means of paying attention to the permaculture directive to "slow, spread and sink" the water that travels along this route. As always though, I am not really sure that I know what I am doing, 

so we will have to wait and see if it is effective.

Kawtar and I (mostly Kawtar) dug this short trench that 

connects the westernmost olive tree to the diversion ditch. 

I think it will be the last section of this watering system.
