And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.

Green bullets round here.
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment

Yup- picked my first around the 20th of July, which is just a bit crazy. Got a gallon of wine on the go too, and am thinking I should go do some jammin' too. The way it's going, they'll be my only glut this year!Comment

I've picked a wild few, but mainly green here. Cultivated ones have been going strong for weeks (neighbours, not mine).I don't roll on ShabbosComment
