Abundance

'Tis the season of abundance.  In the garden and in the fields.  I don't know how much lettuce I thought one person could ever need but I just know if we'd only planted one or two plants they would have died.  Luckily my daughter in law has a few catering jobs at the moment so can use most of the crop.  The rest goes to our little community Sharing Shed.

Everywhere you look along the roadsides there are bales of hay and silage.  This scene caught my eye during the week as it has so much more than usual going on.  The cars in the middle ground are at the rifle range, the cows are totally ignoring the sound of gunfire.

 

I'm linking to My Corner of the World.

  3. Such lovely green lettuce. Greens right out of the garden are the best.

    1. The gun buy back was for repeating/semi-automatic type guns.
      The whole gun buy back was a farce in my opinion, only the good people handed them in, the baddies are still shooting whoever they please.

  6. Gotta love community pantries, someone else can always use what we don't need.

  7. I'm trying to grow winter salad greens. If our attempt to 'get back control' goes belly up like it looks at the moment we'll all be needing to grow our own for a while until the politicians come to their senses.

    1. You'll be able to put your Polycarb to the test, won't you? I do hope your politicians get Covid under control soon.
