Canning Day can't be far away...

Remember those Black Russian tomatoes we put in in September?   Brought these in this morning. They should go very well with Paul's bread and some cheese. It was bucketing rain yesterday and is warm and sunny today and everything is going a lit-tle bit insane in the garden. I predict weeding when the earth dries out a little. It's too wet to get out with the basket today, so I'm going to start looking for recipes. Especially zucchini recipes.

Coming on from September

Just made up a bunch of Rosetta Costantino's pitticelle di zucchini. Perfect! Simple and quick and delicious.

Imma start a garden journal and keep it here

View to the front garden today. Beautiful, yes?



It's very warm here today.

Despite the advice of the Old Locals, I put some tomatoes in yesterday (not till Labour day! No tomatoes in before Labour day!) and I'm sure they'll be proved right, but honestly how patient am I expected to be? I put in four Black Russian, two Yellow Pear and a Red Grape - all heritage. The Yellow Pears I put into containers (thank you, The Helpful Gardener blog) - and the red grape as well, just to be sure.

I also sowed six Jaune Flamme and six Brandywine.

Tomorrow I'll take a shot of the vegie patch, and note how everything else is going. Also, tomorrow - Jocelyne's hollyhocks go in :)
