I really like melons! The right ones even smell sweet. They can make my mouth water and wanna just bite em. They are all different and the same at once. But is their uniqueness that make them interesting. There is some underlying genetic and nutritional stuff that determines the broader outlines of them. That is the same part. Assuming that those things are covered care can make a difference. The different, unique, interesting elements emerge out of how their are treated, their exposure to the sun, and how gently or roughly they are handled. If they are healthy and generally well treated a little rough handling will not damage them. In fact it might actually invigorate them. With this in mind I set about to let the girls know they were wanted and thought about and attended to. I found that many of them were laying in the dark damp straw, wrinkled and in danger of growing prematurely soft. So I provided support, raising them proudly toward the sun, and resting them on firm supports.
She required even more attention and special accommodations. Some melons are encountered in unusual circumstances and if one truly cares about the melons in their life they will be creative and do what is necessary to attend to them.
Hanging there suspended with no support She was in distress. So I fashioned a place for her to rest. I measured Her with my palm then using cloth and a little wire, customized an accoutrement for her comfort. I am of the mind that if a boy don’t take care of his melons he should not complain if they are not available when it comes time to harvest. Just cause one is hungry don’t guarantee the melons will be around.
The Purple Russian Heirlooms are starting to show little ones. There should be a bountiful harvest before Fall. The tomatoes and peppers and basil are bountiful. So much so that after providing the Bistro with fresh vegetables I brought some home to make something to bribe the band. We have a show booked for the 19th so I am motivated to get everybody together. As with melons musicians require some care.
This along with some white onion, fresh basil, fresh garlic, a handful or two of some speciality spaghetti seasoning, ( know it’s not cool but it tastes good) and some hot Italian sausage will become the bribe that will fetch the band.
I will let it simmer another hour or so but the grape tomatoes are so sweet I don’t want to loose the sweet freshness by overdoing it. I have good crusty Italian bread and will go get a couple or three bottles of good Italian wine. So just know that tomorrow around 12:00 central. We will be taking a break, opening the wine and digging in.
I was thinking about how all of this is interconnected. I think that at heart I am a poet. I write with crayons, a garden, psychotherapy, bras for melons I love, spaghetti for the musicians I love, and comments for bloggers I love. Poetry is love. Be Groovy! 🙂
🙂
Love your garden updates and all they mean. You said psychotherapy? Just after garden and right before bras for melons. What about psychotherapy? Or do you mean your garden and poetic wisdom?
You have a knack for gardening. The melons look delicious enough to eat.
Ah the garden! And the magic you do with what grows there. I’ll bet the sweet aroma of cooking is enticing!
I just spied above, you’ve got a good crusty bread to go with! Now I’m hungry! 🙂
It turned out good. The bread and the wine and the music made for a good afternoon
we eat melons all summer long… but “à la française”: cut in 2 halves, seeds out and filled with Porto wine or any other “muscat” French wine… last but not least: a few thin slices of mountain dry ham(jambon de Bayonne or Serrano dry ham!) – bon appétit & cheers! 🙂
Good morning. I have a nice Italian Chianti and good crusty bread to go with the sauce. I like how you serve your melons. It is always good to hear from you.
You should come to England, your Bra invention for Melons, would no doubt, get you a Knighthood, considering our PM has just give a Title to one “Bra” designer. Have to add I am not in favour of Titles, we have a two tier system!!
🙂 good morning sugar. I am glad you have joined us here.
You left a whole lot of things out of there. Magician would be another. Just look at how your words can make magic in people’s lives. <3
Sometimes I help them see what they already know
Ok, how about dis — illusionist. You take away the wrong illusions people have been laboring under. Gotta admit that fits, dude. You pull magic out of your fedora, not a top hat… 🙂
Yes mylady.
{{{Plato}}}
You seriously need to patent that melon bra. Or maybe go work for Maidenform. You shouldn’t let that talent go to “waist”.
🙂 that service is not available commercially. Only to melons within my particular perview and influence. Several fittings are necessary. I know I am a fifty year old adolescent. 🙂
Love it. Don’t grow up.
🙂 I don’t think i have much of a choice. I keep trying but never seem to get there.
The world needs more 50-year-old adolescents who play with crayons and have insatiable curiosity. Maybe they’re the ones who should be leading this country! 🙂
I would attend to the melons. 🙂
🙂 was 16 and talking about boobs. 🙂
o_O
Waist is another area of interest. 🙂 Don’t know how to work that into a garden update though. Thank you for playing.
I don’t know why the pictures a crooked. Has anyone wanted to throw their computer into a brick wall because their ignorance has surpassed their patience?
Sweetie, they’re not crooked. They look fine.
Ok. That’s what he said
