Cucumber

The local farmer's fertilizer did the trick -- first cucumber is cooking.  It grows overnight.  Can you see the thickness difference in just one day?  There are a couple of little ones starting too, but that's been happening all season without success.  Curious if any others will grow.  I have a new batch of green cherry tomatoes starting too.  The plant is getting too tall for my pot though -- not sure how long this will keep producing.

I'm excited to plan a garden next spring and, actually, maybe something this fall too.  Learning little by little.

Today is bookclub.  I finished the book Blood, Bones & Butter (Gabrielle Hamilton).  It was a decent read -- a bit self serving and I question her detailed memory, but it was enjoyable.  A few yucky pages early on about slaughtering meat, but I just skimmed over the details. 

I'm expecting we'll chat a little about in-person meet ups.  Nothing came of my inquiry -- interest, but no definitive takers when I put out dates.  I'll give it another go today.

Calendar "filled" back up -- as it tends to do.  All the blues over nothing. 

Hubby flies to VA this afternoon.  More about this week a bit later.  I need to tend to some dog walking :)  Have a happy Sunday.  Later gators.
