We got some work done in the garden, at the expense of wet feet and damp knees. It’s a sombre time of year. The brilliantly coloured leaves have largely been blown off their trees and into soggy browning piles, everywhere is damp and there are very few vegetables still growing.
Whatever prompted me to grow cabbages this year was spot on in one way – they’re coming up a treat, close-packed heads and all. Now I have to face the fact that I don’t use enough cabbage to make full use of them. I have offered them elsewhere, but it seems they aren’t that popular. This week’s challenge is to find a recipe for cabbage that we enjoy eating. Any suggestions, Mr Slater?
On the plus side, it does mean a lot of time to get on with Nano. We swapped prompts in our writing group and I spotted one that gave me an idea. Eighteen thousand words on, it’s still going strong. Which is what I’m going to do now.
