Rooting around.

This week was far too busy to go a-wandering on Wednesday. Instead I managed to catch up with the cleaning and ironing that was patiently waiting. There was also research to be done before recording a conversation with Rob on Felixstowe radio – this time it was about root vegetables. You might be wondering why that topic…. in fact one of our local MP’s, a government minister, had declared that in view of the current shortages of tomatoes, cucumbers etc., that we should eat turnips instead. Very Marie Antoinette! So I visited the local greengrocers and one shop in particular was extremely helpful, allowing me to take pictures for reference purposes, so much easier than paper and pen. All of this has lead us to buy a greenhouse. Not an enormous one, but big enough to ensure an early supply of tomatoes. I really enjoy all the different varieties and ours are usually late to ripen outside. I might even sneak in a pot of freesias, but don’t let on will you ?!
