Good morning, it is nice to be back from “vacation”. The swelling is way down and since last Wednesday I have gotten rid of the walking boot. I am now wearing a real boot. It is still stiff and painful at times, especially if I twist thing on ground obstacles. I sure find a lot of them that I did not know existed. Getting up and down is getting easier and not having to think “is this going to tweek my ankle” quite as much. My ankle seems to continue to have thoughts on what is the proper way to squat down. Time and patience.
The garden survived my absence and I have been able to harvest this week. A very nice change. Summer squash and cucumbers are finished. The beans are blooming and I hope they make a crop soon. The lettuce has not bolted. It looks like I should have tomatoes up until freezing weather. The eggplants have made a huge recovery from the flea beetles and harvests will resume shortly. The strawberries have enjoyed the moister weather and have sent out a ton of runners. I plan to transplant a bunch of these to fill out the whole bed. Maybe strawberries next year. Fall crops are about ready to be transplanted. Indoor survival has been very good. With over 300 plants there has only been a bout a dozen mortalities. Mid October is approaching and fall peas will be sown followed by onions and garlic the first of November.
Soooo all is well and it is so nice to be mobile once gain.
