A steady pace kept us going all day. The Cadet and The Architect worked solidly on their projects. The gardens are clearing. Plants are being planted in anticipation of more rain. Many bedding plants were transplanted into the gaps discovered in the flower garden, herbs and cabbages and cucumbers planted in rows. For some reason we have piles of cabbages in the gardens this year but cabbage is a superfood!
Yoghurt made, cheese made, dough started for today’s pizza – fish cakes and chimi churri (which evidently was devised by cowboys (gauchos) in Argentina) – and I make it wrong – it should be chopped not made in the food processor: it is the same with pesto – for last nights dinner. 
And the only photograph I took was of my favourite almost-black tulip which I need to dig up and divide and replant. It was that kind of day. I LOVE days in the garden and the fields are growing so fast the calf is getting lost in the grass.
So, you see … a good day was had by all and a late evening getting everything back in its proper place.
And now I will make a mess again and then tidy it up again but we are all so WELL FED!
Have a lovely day,
Your friend on the farm

Lovely tulips 😉
Yes please give us your chimi churri recipe! What gorgeous two lips! 🌷
And lovely tulips those are.
The tulips are gorgeous. And I hate to be so “convenient” about things, but I make my pesto in the chopper and it turns out just fine! And my Italians eat it with no complaint.
A perfect day I think!
Happy Friday Night, Cecilia! I had to look up chili cherry. OMG but it sounds mighty good!
Ooops! Chimi churri.
I love those kind of days, where it gets late so fast, you’re tired but so much has been accomplished… and black tulips are a lovely milestone of the year with which to celebrate 🙂
our sweet little deers would perhaps munch on some of your delectable delights….one of these days I should capture and post what does survive here!
You make me tired but I know that feeling of accomplishment. It’s exhilarating! I have never seen tulips that color. Love them.
Pretty tulips! Glad you got to work in the flower garden.
