Summertime is the time of long evening walks with your head up in the air...
...time to admire other people's gardens and what grows in them...
...and lives in them...
...or to think of the potential their places hold, unfulfilled.
Last week I picked the first tomato that ripened on my window sill.
But... compare that to my mother's produce from her garden in the country!
One day, after a good night's rain, I was lucky enough to find this beautiful edible surprise
growing right under my balcony.
I hope you are all enjoying your summer, or any other season it may happen to be right now
where you live.
Last week we were in Switzerland - enjoying mushrooms we don't see in South Africa. Mostly we get the bland champingnons.
ReplyDeleteDid you pick and eat them yourselves? That is what Czech people love doing in late summer, go to the woods mushroom hunting. I actually like champignons for their delicate taste. These wood mushrooms have a very distinct taste.
