Still Life #3

Day 329   November 27th I somewhat lost my painting mojo this year, so when in doubt do still life until some sort of inspiration comes back. Naturally the vegetable part of the composition had to come from my garden.

Last Fruits

Day 329   November 27th They look plumper than they really were.  The last tomato fruits before I pulled up the plants were quite wizened but perfectly ok to eat.

Tomato Blight

Day 327    November 25th All the seedlings from the last lot of seeds have started to wither once I repotted them.  I have no idea why.

Feral vegies.

Day 326   November 24th By the time I came to clear the tomatoes from bed #3, a pumpkin plant and some sweet potatoes were well established. I could just leave the garden to chance and eat whatever pops up. My diet would be heavy in sweet potatoes, pumpkin and tomatoes. Add some corn and I'd have a Puritan Thanksgiving feast. I'm not going to do that as I already have loads of sweet potato and I'm not ready for another pumpkin glut. I still have some left over from last year in the freezer.

Ladybird

Day 325   November 23rd
Tiny little  ladybird landed briefly on a cucumber.  There must be a second line to that.

Tomatoes

Day 323   November 22nd
Very robust tomatoes growing on a very sickly plant.

Coriander

Day 323   November 21st
Gone to seed! What else would you expect?
