es·cu·lent

The fruit of the tomato plant is esculent but the plant is not. With potatoes the roots are esculent but the plant itself is poisonous.

Still Harvesting from my Garden

Posted on October 28, 2022 by Mama Cormier

….an of October and I’m still getting vegetables from my garden

I’ll probably be picking kale well into November. There are still lots of cherry tomatoes but as it gets colder the odds of them ripening on the vine diminishes.

The last two photos were taken on the same day but thousands of kilometres apart. My son in London, England was very pleased to come across these three Canada Geese goslings in his neighbourhood park (last photo) and I was delighted to come upon a family of Canada Geese on my walk this morning in our neighbourhood park.

If you’d like to join Thursday Trios you have all week to find photos of ‘threes’. Just copy my link and paste it into your post and I’ll get a ping back. Have fun.

Still Enjoying the Bounty from the Garden

Posted on September 28, 2020 by Mama Cormier

….can’t get over the beans….they just keep producing more

I’m pretty sure that we’re done with the beans now but I see lots of cherry tomatoes still on the vines and the beans that didn’t get picked early enough are now providing a lot of seeds for next years garden. Even the pumpkin plant has a couple more small pumpkins on the vine. The three that I picked should make some nice soup and one is definitely going to Winnie when I see her this week (or at least when I see her mother).
