Diva parsley brings the drama

 

Early autumn at La Palmerosa Resort & Spa

I've learned that we really only need the parasol for a month, or so, in the absolute middle of Summer. The sun quickly goes back to casting shadows from the fence, and it's already really only hitting the growy parts, now. To every thing (turn, turn, turn) there is a season (turn, turn, turn) and all that. It's my favourite time of year, though. I've probably said that a billion times already, but it is.

Not a lot to report on the garden front. The tomatoes continue to produce, and we have a favourite new game we like to play called "Is it a tomato or an apple, because OMG."

This thing is as big as my fist, and nearly as round. It's supposed to be oblong.

I'm not sure how I feel about this variety, if I'm honest. The texture is really firm, but a bit blah, and the flavour isn't much to speak of, either. We'll see how they do though - they're only really just coming in, now. And there's plenty of time for green tomato chutney and jam. That may be where they shine.

In other news, my Chocolate Cosmos is working on it's fourth bloom, much to my delight, and the courgette seem to defy our attempts to ignore them and are making some more squashes. What I'm decidedly entertained by, though, is our parsley plant. If it starts to dry out even a little bit, it flops over VERY DRAMATICALLY.

Dramatic parsley is dramatic

So, a slow week, but that's OK. I'll just leave you with this:

"Professor...what's another name for pirate treasure?"
