Just 16C for the high today and a rather chilly start for our tennis game. I was the big loser today - quite the opposite of Tuesday - but blame it on the sun being directly in my eyes, being left-handed. The courts run north-south and the sun is much lower in the sky at 9:00 a.m. now that the days are getting shorter.
Yesterday was my birthday - I am now a year closer to 80, horrible thought! Judy came over with a tasty lunch and some treats just before noon, then Steve and Alison took me out for dinner to a local restaurant. It was a treat to eat out after 6 months of home cooked meals! I had their signature minestrone soup (it is our local Italian trattoria) and eggplant parmigiana. Steve had veal parmigiana and Alison had chicken and pasta. All were very good.
I brought in the remaining tomatoes and dug up the last potato plant this afternoon as we are due for some frost soon. It has been a good harvest this year.

The last bits of produce look good! A very happy birthday to you! -Jenn
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jenn. It was a very low-key day.
DeleteIt is always a sad feeling when the garden is all done for the season.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday.
God bless.
I still have bulbs to plant - over-wintering garlic and grape hyacinths.
DeleteHappy belated birthday wishes Chris. You've had another bountiful harvest of tomatoes & potatoes. I calculated that I've made 605 meals since March 1st - we haven't eaten out or had take away since well before lockdown, but I feel ready to take a break of meal duty!
ReplyDeleteBelated birthday wishes. The produce looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to the ripening tomatoes.
DeleteIt's so sad when there is nothing much left in the garden and a long wait until next year.
ReplyDeleteBelated Happy Birthday to you
A belated Happy Birthday! Sounds like a good day x
ReplyDeleteThe weather here is still so nice, it is a pleasure to get out in the garden.
