The greenery portion of it, like the stem and leaves is unappealing, and somewhat hideous, but the purple flower is rather pretty. The weed is sparsely populated with the tiny little flowers. Only a handful on each four foot tall fibrous stalk. Not much of a looker as a whole package, but I am given to understand that it has medicinal properties, though what those are has not been elaborated on, at least to me by those that spoke up regarding my post on Threads.
The rain has not yet come, and it is now more than a day overdue. The school term has ended, and the clouds hang heavy, and lie low upon the horizon. The wind has picked up slightly, and the ambient temperature has dropped. All signs lead to rain, and yet. No rain has come. Will this be the story of summer break 2026 I wonder? Quite possibly so. I have left the rain barrel untouched, and instead watered my fruit trees from the dehumidifier catchment tray. Might have to hold on to the rain barrel water for a little longer than I had hoped. Perhaps 200-300L was not enough, and I should have incorporated two! We shall see.
