Hello dear cucumber. Welcome to the world. I love your seed hat. You’ll be my cucumbers this summer. Hello, hello, hello. And hello there dear peas. You’re all looking amazing, you’ll be out in the garden in no time. And hello there my heirloom Cocozelle. And oh wow, hello too to 48 tomato plants of six varieties. You guys are so wee right now, but I can see you - hi, hi, hi. I am the chatty lady speaking to her spring seeds. Spring has indeed sprung.
Fred got a new to him jacket today. He asked me to interview him in it. And so I did. Queue the awesomeness. “ What’s your favourite food? Papaya. And salami. And what do you not like to eat? Chickpeas. Cabbage. Mussel Sprouts. Errrrrr, Quinoa. Errrr, Broccoli - a little bit. And.....what else? “I think that’s it - I think you like everything else.” “And I like everything else but I don’t like eatable flowers.” “You don’t like edible flowers?” “Some ones.” “Mmmm” Fred, aged 4.
A basket of broccoli shoots with the preschool knees of my garden helper. It’s shoulder season in the garden at the moment, all the wintry crops are bolting off and spring seedlings are yet to yield. So we’re down to harvesting broccoli shoots, lettuce,kale, spring onions, leeks, silverbeet, herbs and edible flowers. This time last year we had beautiful cabbages ready but this year it’s been much warmer and they aren’t heading up. We await the asparagus with baited breath.
A boy and his chicken.
I ran a lot off last night. Emptied my mind of thoughts and puffed breath instead. Got to the turning point on my run and took in this view. What a corker. #nofilter
He has the pick of the bookcase - stories, tales and adventures in Africa. Any book. And he chooses to pick and read about the periodic table. Who is this guy?! I’m amazed where his curiosity lies. What a wonder.
