It’s fall, and we didn’t really have a summer. Last year we missed fall entirely, and this year, our summer was wet and cool. My mint and bergamont are thriving; the tomatoes are not so happy. We have a small crop of green tomatoes; we’ll chose whether to let them ripen indoors, or make green tomatoe pie. I suspect the votes in my house will be to let the tomatoes ripen, and make apple pie. We have an old apple tree with fabulous cooking apples – they make the perfect pie, if you like a pie that bites back.
Our summer was mostly upheaved, as our schedules shifted all over the place, we replaced a vehicle, and sorted through neglected corners of the house. I’m hoping with fall we’ll settle down, as everyone else is off to school and work, and I can work in solitude.
