Fussing About

It always pleases me to find weird veggies – my tomato has a long nose!

Today there was a lot of mucking about – doc visit, making appointments, picking up meds, post office, sorting out the ride on mower (just got it serviced as we want to sell it) etc and not very exciting. 🙂
Then I needed to make up the vanilla slice as I had bought the cream for it a few days ago and I am determined NOT to let it go off while I procrastinate about getting in the kitchen!

Look what I picked! They were probably just a squidge early, but they tasted lovely. These are from the first patch which looks a bit sad but seems to have reasonably nice ears of corn!
Making up for the third patch which we’ve now lost HALF to the bloody cows! They have pushed over quite a long way. Going to have to get a hotwire if I think I am going to make good use of that yard for food growing. And have a word to the cow-owners!

I got these lovely fat cherry tomatoes off the plants at the back of the hothouse…. self seeded and running amok.

I actually made a bit of time to get in and trim and tie them all up and back so I can see where to pick!
This was in between crazy cold rainstorms today.

It’s gone back to winter! We’ve had the fire on the last two nights and its SNOWING up in the mountains!
I didn’t get out much today simply because of the off and on again blasting cold winds and rain. So weird.

I did get to pick a bit, so dinner tonight was rather nice with lots of home produce.
Might have to wander off now and indulge in a passionfruit!

Hope your week is going well!
Cheers!
