a friend visits my garden

August 29, 2013

Today, my neighbor joined me in the Nottoway garden. Libby helped me harvest tomatoes, green beans,  and the last of the potatoes. She and I have similar ideas about harvesting techniques--she instinctively understood the importance of taste testing as one picks. This afternoon, Libby goes to her new school to meet her first grade teacher; she is thinking of giving him a potato and maybe a tomato. I told her that Mr. Armstrong will probably always remember the day that he got a potato from one of his new students.   

While there, Ginny stopped by and we had a chance to catch up. I confessed to eating some of her yellow tomatoes and green beans.

On the way back to Libby's house, we stopped by my house and she had a chance to play with Anne Marie's kitty. All in all, it was a good morning
