Autumn joy.From the greenhouse this morning. One Brandy Wine tomato, a Black Krim tomato and 3 slipper gourds.Making use of my abundance of zucchinis. Muffins with dates, raisins, walnuts, zucchini and pineapple. Have not tasted yet but how can you mess up muffins?Cool day cookings - chili in Instant Pot and stew in slow cooker.Rainy days are good for puttering and clearing out trouble spots in the garden. The herb spiral and its surroundings have been overtaken by chives. So spent afternoon moving rocks pulling and digging out chives and their hairy roots. Put in some lilies from my sister in their place. Then planted a row of irises behind the little monk. While I was at it, I transplanted some strawberries where I had pumpkins and zucchinis. The zucchinis are still there. I’m reluctant to let them go yet. I tend to hang on to things too long like a couple of late Roma tomatoes in Kosy Coats. They have quite a few tomatoes on them. We’ll see what happens. I started these 2 from slips off the big plants. They rooted easily, planted in late July almost August.A beautiful sunny afternoon to head out to the Beaver Creek Conservation Park. We haven’t been successful getting there till now. Other years we had Sheba with us and no dogs allowed. Other times, it hit on closed days. A wonderful time of year with splashes of autumn colours here and there. Made me think of the line ‘The hills are alive with the sound of music’ (colour).Shredding zucchinis- 3 ziplock bags. I probably will be very happy to have them in winter. But right now I don’t want to look at another zucchini. I still have 5 little guys hanging on outside.Cool, foggy and grey morning. Autumn is definitely here. The garden is slowly shutting down. Time to rest on what we have succeeded in harvesting and learned.Hard at work back at the allotment garden. Our fingerling potatoes did quite well. Some were more like fists. Strange! Potatoes all dug, squash all gathered, beans and peas all done, water lines rolled up. What’s left? Beets, carrots and cleaning up. I’m looking forward to done, done and done!Summer has suddenly left us. It’s a cool 9°C outside and 13°C in the greenhouse. My potted eggplants are happy to be inside on the rock wall.Instagram

NOT A FAILURE
It’s amazing how easily and fast I can get derailed. Habits are, indeed, deeply ingrained and difficult to overcome. Coming back to my keyboard is another distraction and ploy of avoiding on what I need to do. But to give … Continue reading
