A long day that started early and featured: soft drizzly rain interrupted by bursts of sunshine and clear skies, a trip to two local nurseries, the purchase of various seeds and 4 tomato plants of different varieties -- Better Boy, Sweet Baby Girl, a cherry tomato and another variety I can't remember that the nursery owner (another Pinay) gave me as a gift.
H didn't have to work, so we happily kept busy preparing and planting vegetable bed #2, puttering around the house in preparation for the arrival of my shipment of 13 boxes full of my personal effects from Hong Kong, and making some lovely things including a pasta with bolognese sauce for dinner and two desserts: a rhubarb-apple-pineapple crumble that used our newly harvested rhubarb stalks (yes!) and a batch of largely sugar-free carrot-banana muffins adapted from here.
The garden was dripping and bejewelled with the constant drizzle. There was a bit of a chill in the air but everything, especially the red maple and the golden buttercups, looked fresh and new. Tomorrow I'll post pictures of the second vegetable garden and its plantings.
Hope your day was as fruitful and happy.
