Sad day today

[mothhawk]

I don't buy tomatoes through the winter - not unless they smell like tomatoes. It may seem strange to see this crazy woman sniffing her way around the tomatoes but, I just have to do it

Me too! ......

The Wheel by W B Yeats

Through winter-time we call on spring,
And through the spring on summer call,
And when abounding hedges ring
Declare that winter's best of all;
And after that there's nothing good
Because the spring-time has not come ---
Nor know that what disturbs our blood
Is but our longing for the tomb.

One of my favourite poems...

I like it until the last line - that's too depressing

[mothhawk]

I like it 'cos it's the perfect description of 'wishing your life away' and each time I reach the last line it jolts me out of wishing for tomorrow, back into today.

[veggiechicken]

I think I'd rather do without those jolts - getting too old for that

excellent poem

[Tripmeup]

Took most of mine out today, one left in the greenhouse now...Yellow plum summit or other...
Threw a few salad tubs into it, see what happens.....

I never thought I'd see the day when I want green tomatoes .......

I never thought I'd see the day when I want green tomatoes .......

Had the last of my Green Zebra with mature cheddar for tea today another good reason for next year to hurry on.
