Not my garden. This photo is from an overpriced roadside pumpkin purveyor near Stratford. It was a grey day, but good enough for Cynthia Dale and her son to pick up their seasonal decorations. (Peter Mansbridge was sadly absent from the family outing). Actually the edible squash were an ok deal. Now I have a giant hubbard, turban squash, and buttercup to eat. I'm probably good for food for the winter.
My lettuce patch is still going like gangbusters, apparently loving the cool wet summer more than the rest of us. I don't know how I'm going to eat it all before frost (which could be any day now?). I should probably also pull in the beets and potatoes soon. I've got high hopes for these guys... I grabbed one lovely fist-sized beet in September.
In one lettuce harvest this week, I found this siamese romaine leaf. I've never seen a siamese lettuce leaf. Here is its photograph. Perhaps this is superstitious, but I didn't eat it, lest it irrevocably alter my DNA.
what were you doing hanging out with Cynthia Dale again? She's the actor right? At first I thought you meant Olivia Dale, the character from Road to Avonlea.
ReplyDeleteIt was probably a wise choice not to eat the lettuce of siam . . .but you never know it might have been awesome, a rare example of a rare delicacy. . .
