A lovely sunny afternoon after a grey cool day of yesterday. My 2 hanging bougainvilleas are finally showing some reddish flower buds. I’ve learned they will not set flowers if they get too much water. Meanwhile in the greenhouse I have one ripe Black Krim tomato. It got a bit smashed when I dropped it in the kitchen. And it is cucumber season. So many are coming now as is with the bitter melons. The peppers are doing their bit, too. I am very happy with how productive the greenhouse has been this second year. I’m not too keen on the early Red Alert tomatoes I had. Not sweet or delicious. Will not do again in spring. The snow peas were a success. I might seed a few again soon to see how they perform now into late autumn. I still have celery and Swiss Chard growing from spring. I’ve been harvesting handfuls to add to stir fries. I’m sure they will keep going into late fall.Day 6 of #augustbreak2022. I’M READING ..1) Tom Wolfe’s A Man in Full. On page 243 of 742. Learning a lot about politics, the business world, and life in Atlanta, Georgia.Day 5 #augustbreak2022Life feels grim sometimes. It’s good to have a garden to come to.Blanching and freezing peas and beans.Day 4 #augustbreak2022. SWEETNESS. THere’s a bee in my bonnet. Hope there’ll be honey soon.This morning’s harvest.Day 3 #augustbreak2022. HANDWRITING has become a lost art - to me anyways. Maybe I should pick up my pen and put it to paper again.Day 2 of August Break. LEAF - bitter melon and slipper gourd hanging out together in the greenhouse. First year for the slipper gourd. Seeds a gift from another gardener in our community garden. They were small, black, rough and hard. He said they were from his grandmother and they were Chinese beans. I had wondered how they could be beans. After the seeds sprouted and leafed, my plant identifier solved the mystery.Day 61/61 Daisy Yellow Index Card a Day Challenge. Off prompt for the last day. I want a little pomp and splash to end the series. I like to daydream about being a bit of a VAMP like Miss Diana Ross of the Supremes. The end.Instagram
