Harvest...

Look left...


Look right...


And you'll see that it's harvest time. The potato plants are starting to turn and there are big fleshy potatoes under them. The tomatoes are reddening a few at a time. The cukes are blooming to beat the band. The kohlrabi is big and round, and there are lots of beets... and probably too many carrots. It's my favourite time of year!


Here's an afternoon's worth of work... beans and peas mostly picked, and enough cucumbers for a few jars of dills. It's taking some time and effort, so I haven't been moodling much, and I'm not sure when I'll get back to my Simple Suggestions, but does it really matter? Written creativity is being superseded by garden work, but don't worry -- I'm in my happy place!
