Good morning! A cool rainy day but there’s always something to smile about in the greenhouse. The little Cyclamen that self seeded from the mother plant is in bloom. More harvest of bitter melon and lettuce. The cool weather is slowing the bitter melon growth but the lettuce is loving it.Raindrops on the window. A cool cloudy and very windy day. A good day to stay put and cosy up to the frying pan. I stir fried a little pumpkin with a pepper and some cabbage thrown in for lunch. The greenhouse was cosy and did get up to 20°C momentarily at noon. It is sitting at 12.7C at almost 6 pm. How quickly the temperature plunges without the sun. I still have an amazing number of bitter melons, a few cucumbers and moderate crop of tomatoes. My winter crops of lettuce, spinach and kale are in. I’ve thrown in some broccoli and cabbage for fun - just to see what is possible. I’m going to see if I can over winter 2 peppers in the greenhouse and one in the house.#inktober2021 - Day 23 -#inktober2021 - Day 22 -#inktober2021 - Day 21 -My harvest from the greenhouse this morning - bitter melons, pepper, tomato , lettuce and pea shoots.Morning skies.Firey red drama out my back door. Lunar calm and cool out the front door.The moon tonight.#inktober2021 - Day 20 -We went out to Furdale, Sheba’s old haunt, this afternoon. It was achingly beautiful, full of memories - my time with her. We used to come here on all my days off to wear out her excess energy. I would not have found this place without her. I would have missed all the beauty and wonder of nature. I would not have looked up and see the blue of sky. I am surprised to find that I can still climb those steep hills, albeit a little slower now. And at the top, 2 benches awaiting us.Instagram
