Hello! How is everyone doing during the lead up to the festive season? Christmas and end of year parties happening? I did some posting (real mail not internet) and shopping. I have a few pavlovas to make up for Christmas lunch.
I popped down to the garden for some lettuce late this afternoon and got carried away. I don’t know how someone accidentally starts digging for potatoes. 🙂
Some more of the garlic is forming up into bulbs, so maybe it won’t be a total loss for the garlic this year. I wish it would get on with it – I could really use the space in the garden!
Lots of cucumber doing their thing… getting bigger daily noticeably
Apparently sunflowers and cucumbers are good companions. I have a sunflower right next to the cucumbers, so I wonder if they will taste better??
Looks like these aren’t far away from showing us their faces!
The Russian Black tomato in progress
Something had been ravaging the tomato plant – think its one of those green hiding grubs!!
Its really hard to find grubs in the dense foliage – but I did find two that had spun up a bed
I smashed them. I will have to spend some more time looking to see if I have missed any. They have had quite the feast!
And lastly… two cherries! Actually I think the tree has a grand total of about 7.
Cheers!
Just now getting back to reading blogs. It’s Christmas morning here and overcast…we’re going to the beach where I hope the sun is shining!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! I hope you found your shining sun!! 🙂
Indeed the sun came out and we had a wonderful picnic on the beach. Not very many people but they were all friendly. Some Seagulls entertained us and we took a stroll looking for shells
My soul is rejuvenated by salt air!
Lovely! I also always feel refreshed after strolling at the beach!
