a friends sends this funny bit on growing organically…
“So I went to pick cabbages and found that 4 of the 6 large ones had severe internal rot from something that was munching on it. I saw slugs and caterpillar holes. I’m down to 2 large and 2 small ones. And I don’t know if they’re all intact and useable. SIGH! So much stuff got bug infested and destroyed this year it’s little wonder organic stuff is so much more expensive. Like you lose 3/4 of your harvest and sometimes all of it. Nearly all of my pears have bug holes and all of the apples. Maybe we should have a leek-fest instead. So far those haven’t been bug-eaten. I have really cool potatoes too. Potato and leek soup!! With fresh sausages. mmmmmmm! You did say something about a sausage stuffer? Oh here’s my pickings for the evening! I never did get back out to the tomatoes, it was too dark by the time I got done.
Can you use more cukes??”
She’ll probably be mad when she sees I have published her note – but that’s how it goes this time of the year.
