Plucked a couple of potatoes out of the ground for lunch.\u00a0 Swiss chard and tiny green beans, onions, too.\u00a0 Pruned back the wisteria.\u00a0 It has imperial ambitions, take over the space next to it, then the tree and later, the lawn.\u00a0 Cut out yellowed tomato leaves.\u00a0 Not a good year for tomatoes so far, but luckily we still have some 2002 forward in glass jars thanks to Kate.\u00a0 I had to stop while digging out quack grass next to the raised bed that held our onion crop.\u00a0 Felt dizzy, sweating profusely.\u00a0 The heat exhaustion I experienced in June seems to haunt me now.<\/p>\n

It’s not been the best gardening year for me, but we’ve still produced good food and we’ve added bees to the mix.\u00a0 Anco impari, as Goya says, “I’m still learning.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
