Doug is progressing well but still getting plenty of sleep and not doing any heavy work.
One thing I didn't mention yesterday was that Doug's nephew phoned to say he had some fish for us. Luckily, his wife was coming into town this morning so, instead of us driving the 20 kms to their place, she brought it to us.
It was a pack containing 8 good sized snapper fillets - each one enough for the two of us. I froze most of it in individual packs leaving one fillet out for today's lunch and it was delicious.
A bit cooler today , 28° but the night time forecast is the same as last night, a low 18°. Rain is forecast for early tomorrow morning and I hope we get it. Mind you, it was forecast for this morning but keeps moving further away. The soil is so dry that watering every day is just keeping things alive.
After the hose blew apart at the join yesterday when Doug left the tap on I searched out a longer hose that I brought with me from Kamo and Doug put new fittings on it this morning so that should be better. He insisted that was a "light job".
LATER;
I just picked and watered - there are now more of "Jean's beans" that the Dalmation ones. Today's harvest
Lucky you. Tenpin used to have a boyfriend who brought us Rabbits, but even then I had to pay £1 each.
ReplyDeleteThere were no rabbits when Max and I moved north but gradually they appeared so rabbit was often on the menu.
DeleteNice trug, and nice crop.
DeleteHave been giving them away today. Days at the hospital meant we were not eating them.
DeleteI, too, have, or Hugh has, been giving away lettuce, carrots, zuchini that have morphed into marrows. and keeping the beans for ourselves. Tomatoes are ripening every day. Dpug, so glad you a54e making what sound like astoundingly good progress.
ReplyDeleteYou are ahead in the tomatoes as we have only had 3 ripen. Carrots are good - just dig a few a day. Doug's primary school friend just came so he went home with beans and courgettes. As you say, it is hard to keep them from morphing into marrows.
DeleteGiven your constant need for water it is a good thing to have the hose in prime condition so that you don't waste it.
ReplyDeleteYes, most important. When the hose sprung a leak a month or so ago we were busy and Doug joined it instead of us looking for a new one. Remedied now.
DeleteNice little haul there. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I love harvesting.
DeleteHow lovely to receive fish and your garden harvest is looking great. Can I come to lunch? LOL
ReplyDeleteYes, of course, snapper for lunch again today with fresh vegies.
