I can't get into the greenhouse for the moment because this monster is in the way. It's supposed to be a squash plant and it does indeed look quite a squash in the greenhouse as yonder tryffid is being backed up by another one of its ilk as well as a rogue tomato seed that fell onto the floor and is now likewise threatening to take over the world.
Elsewhere in the garden the beans are going berserk (especially those I planted the other day), the spuds have gone wild and the carrots are doing the biz. The onions are now swelling at long last and the garlic is dying off so that will be ready to lift in early course.
I actually have piles of tomatoes ripening as well as peppers and chili but these are the plants that I bought at the St Gervais plant fair. The ones I planted aren't doing much. The brassica are doing well but the one surviving pea plant has turned brown and died.
Today is Saturday and just for a change there was a brocante at St Priest. It's not natural to have a brocante on a Saturday - it's like your body clock is all wrong when you have other things to do. But not to worry - it's Pionsat's brocante tomorrow. I'm still looking for a milk churn (Liz saw one here today and rang me up to tell me but it was only 15 litres and that isn't big enough) and a car CD player so I can play all my CDs.
Nothing of any use at Carrefour or at Lidl so it's been a bit of a non-day. But they were selling tubs of sorbet at LIDL for €0.89 and they looked ever so enticing and after all it has been quite a while since I had an ice-cream .....
