'doughy' is exactly the right word, and as someone who has sock drying on the radiator as I type, I feel some empathy with your blight

It's sock drying on the radiator season, isn't it?

You're so very welcome! I try only to use the best words, though several ordinary ones sneak in, and I can't alway promise to get them in the right order ✨🍂🙏🏼

Gorgeous, indeed. No rain here for eight weeks, so I'm still hauling hoses and watering cans, but the sunlight through the trees is lovely and the air is clear and cool and there's no other place I'd rather be.

We're having a dryish spell too! Not that I'm complaining after the year we've had, plus most mornings there's a lazy cloud to wander through.

Here in Australia we're just ramping up (my tomatoes went in today). But even though we're still six months away from a similar winding down, your writing captivated me. What a great piece, thanks for crafting it.

Such a lovely article. Will re read when I don’t feel like gardening. It is such a motivating and beautiful piece of writing and so relatable to me. Thank you .
