I am eating fresh pears and tomatoes from my garden today. The pears are falling by the ton and so I figured it would be okay to eat a few before the whole mess is rotting on the ground. The tomatoes are sadly not getting eaten like I expected, so I am doing the whole Popping Them Into My Mouth and eating them whole. it seems better than letting them drop to the ground and shrivel. A few of them are really kind of dense and mealy but most of them are sweet and juicy. It is a nice thing to have. I am pleased to have this lovely bounty.
Neobenthamia gracilis, Catasetum pileatum and Habenaria rhodocheila are all in bloom right now, with flower spikes possible on my Stanhopea ospinae as well, although it is too new a division to be blooming and having it not be detrimental to the health of the plant. I will probably end up breaking it off if it is not a new growth but rather a flower spike. Imagine getting pregnant right after having long term treatment for a life-threatening illness. It would be uber-devastating to the body to have to carry a baby when the body has been wracked with illness(we are not debating abortion here).
The garden has no need of me, save pulling a few weeds, and I am not riding this month so there is no great adventure to report...........
