Well, best laid plans...
I went out late afternoon to sit in the shade with my wine and admire my various plantings only to discover the contract gardeners had ripped out all my newly established heritage tomatoes and pumpkin plants, nestled in the shelter of the feijoa hedge, but left most of the moth plant seedlings further down. We are guessing they can't tell a food plant from a noxious weed...
They were doing so well too.
So, I have replanted with the leftovers, and strung a bright yellow CAUTION tape across the plants, with luck they will take off and be well on their way by the time the sods come back in the New Year. Strange how heartbreaking such a thing is. Still, I have other gardens to comfort my heart. And then I finished off Yellowstone, going to miss those characters, I have become a real fan of Taylor Sheridan's work.
Coffee now, then a few more chapters. Tomorrow will be a better day.
