I’ve been doing so much running around in the last while, I am so glad to finally have a day when I can stay home! I’m going to be doing more running around throughout the rest of the month (our gas budget for the car is already blown away!), so I’m going to take full advantage of this day of rest. In fact, I’ll probably go for a nap right after I publish this!

After medicating our tripod Houdini, I headed out to do my morning rounds and see what was ready to harvest.

There was a surprising amount of bush beans to pick, considering they got harvested yesterday, too. That zucchini grew quite a lot, overnight! I grabbed a couple of larger turnips, and a few Spoon tomatoes. I had to resist picking just-ripe Romas this morning. We will be harvesting substantial amounts of them, soon!

I also picked all the shallots that were at the end of the wattle weave bed, next to the Sweet Chocolate peppers. The kittens have been rolling around on them, so the stems were broken. They won’t get any bigger after that. The stems were so badly damaged, they weren’t even salvageable for the greens!

I’m quite happy with what I’m seeing in the grape vines.

All the clusters are getting very red, and a few are an almost-ripe deep purple.

I think we’ll be making jelly with these when they’re done. 😊

For now, it’s time to peel some kittens off my knees, back and shoulders, and see if I can get a nap in.
