How are things in the greenhouse? Still have quite a few Black Krim tomatoes - 20 that I can see. Still flowering. There are 11 possible cucumbers, quite a few peppers if there’s time for them to grow, 2 eggplants and 4 possible bitter melons. I will be ecstatic if they can mature.Risk of frost overnight. My Sunburst squash still has lots of little squashes so they are under cover. I’ve covered the herb spiral to tide everything over a little longer. The lavender have just started to bloom. The pots are in the greenhouse and the shed. The temperature on Saturday is suppose to go up to 28°C. Crazy, eh?So all my outside tomatoes are a few cabbages are harvested. The tomato plants are chopped and the twines and clips holding them up are taken down. Good thing I started when the weather was nice. Was still a bit of work finishing up today in the wind and drizzle. Then it’s carting them inside and down to the basement.My morning harvest of the Longkeepers in the garden. A backbreaking chore of bending down and snipping. Now a tea break before tackling the ones in the raised beds. I like harvesting and cleaning up on a sunny warm day.My cosmos are finally starting to bloom. Hurray! So is the Burgundy Amaranth. Then there’s the asters. The zinnias are still doing great. Lots of autumn blooms to colour our space.Molly, my gluten-free sourdough starter after 3 days. A few bubbles visible. There’s hope.My lavender in bloom.Sunny Sunday. I arrived at the community garden fresh from my swim. Our plot is still looking good. The Swedish beans are done but the Scarlet Runners are going strong. I’ve picked a goodly sum. My mid August planting of daikon, snow pea, radish and spinach are looking fine. Here’s hoping for a good September and October and more harvest.Experimenting making gluten free starter. Day 1 in the life of gluten free starter. 2 Tbsp brown rice flour, 2 Tbsp gluten free flour, 1/4 cup water. Mixed in glass container. Covered with damp tea towel. Leave for 24 hours.Glorious summer days in September. We went out to Cranberry Flats Conservation Area yesterday. Last time we came was early summer 2019 with Sheba. It was wonderful then and now to be out under God’s blue skies, to traverse the highs and lows. Then we inhaled the fragrance of wild blooming roses. Now we see the beginning palette of autumn leaves. Now I feel stronger than I had been. We ended our trek at Crossmount Cider Company for a flight of cider.Instagram

TALKING PASSION
Funny that I have been thinking about passions today. What’s funny about it? I was bored. Maybe that’s what led me to be thinking about passion. I was lacking and I want it back. I could say that well being … Continue reading

The jukebox in my head is playing again. I keep hearing Kris Kristofferson’s Help Me Make It Through the Night all day. Mostly it was just the first two lines. Take the ribbon from your hair. Shake it loose and let … Continue reading
