Here we go again

 

It’s that time of the year that the powers that be, Forestry Tasmania, Gunns and private companies burn the coupes that they have already decimated by clear felling. A beautiful day turns into a cold and smoky evening. And not one carpenter, sculptor or craftsperson has been invited to check the wood piles for specialty timbers. It will all be destroyed.

Shame on you.

I hate them!

Tomorrow I will wake to a smoky, dull atmosphere with possible char marks from embers. Some mothers will have to keep their asthmatic children home from school.

Shame on you.

The one that got away

is the zucchini at the rear. In front is your normal sized vegetable with a tigerella tomato.

The big beauty at the back comes in at just under 3 kilos!

How could I possibly miss it? All those huge leaves must have been in cahoots but it didn’t work. So, do I stuff it and roast it; have enormous slices on the barbecue; or pass it on to M’s son who loves BIG zucchinis? I think that it may be the last one – at least we’ll know he’s eating something green!

The end of Summer

 

but I hope it’s not the end of this  

Nope, there’s still plenty to come, particularly from the grow house. But we have finished all the fresh plums. So I’ll just have to have strawberries on my muesli. I’m not complaining about that!
