... and taking a moment to just sit in a chair in the sun for a moment before heading home. I did a quick survey of the flowers. Always got to remember to stop and look at the flowers. These "black" hollyhocks have been giving a little joy for *months* now. They just keep on going. Uploading flowers is an excuse to sit in the sun a little longer. #bloomscrolling #alloment #gyo -
ANYWAY… all my angst & uncertainty aside… we are managing an #allotment harvest all the same. Many things are not well cared for, but a lot is growing (and going to waste) despite that — we make use of what we can.
About 3 hours down here today (and all that has happened is watering & harvest, no time on tending & maintenance.)
It is a nice day. I wish I was better able to enjoy it, but instead I fret about the state of it, about the things I cannot do, about the things I need to go home and do, and the rapid drawing in of the weekend. I want to do too many things in too little time.
We have tomatoes. There is sunshine. I am outdoors. Trying to find some solace if not quite celebration.

The eggplant (Aubergines, if you will) are looking particularly strong and vigorous this season. I put this down to a complete absence of any flea beetles this year. This is the first year in as long as I can remember without all their leaves being full of holes. Got to go pick some more.

Don't say goodbye to sorrel yet! 🌿 It's one of the last plants to die down in autumn.
To get that zesty flavour all winter:
1️⃣ Cover a few outdoor plants with cloches.
2️⃣ Move roots into a cold greenhouse.
3️⃣ Sow seeds in pots in summer for indoor pickings.
