Was all prepared to be a sloth today, but Fiona rang suggesting a walk. Since I hadn’t been for a week I couldn’t justify a ‘no’ !!
It was pretty brisk out there, but we mostly didn’t get rained on and we felt good after our hike – even though our legs hurt a bit!
Back home I got into my original planned task which was turning those beetroots into pickles.
They were smaller than my normal ones, but one can’t be too fussy at this time of year hey?
Anyway, they filled a large coffee jar so I am happy again!
Remember my winter tomato lateral project?
Well… today finally I found one starting a root!
They are really slow to develop – again, can’t expect much in winter. Mostly its a gamble and if I manage to get a few early tomatoes going then I will be happy. If not… back to some seeds in pots in a few weeks!
Hope you have had a lovely day
Cheers
Happy Sunday Lisa & Jeff
Your photos make me feel like they are just outside my door !
My Mom use to do pickled beets from the garden my Dad planted.
Yours look so good I can almost taste them from here.
Hope Ruby is doing great, I love seeing her smiling face.
Have a fantastic week.
Shirley
Hi Shirley! Nothing like home made pickled beetroot hey? I haven’t seen Ruby in a while. I am waiting for the next beautiful day so I can go digging in her garden (and have a cuppa of course!)
