Foraging

 I started plucking a few strawberries, as the produce had been ignored for a week. The first section was straightforward, as well as the other strawberry bed which was also just a case of leaning in. Then it came to the cherry tomatoes. There were a lot of these and many were hidden. I had to climb in and try not to stand on others that were ripening. I was balanced in awkward positions for periods of 10 minutes with legs starting to burn. Some of them were so ripe I would burst them when trying to pick. It reminded me of "They're a Weird Mob" when the meringues were crushed by heavy hands.  I tried to shift position with tomatoe juice dripping off my fingers. There were tiny black worms on some so I just thru those out behind me without looking. These hit the brick wall but the worms went with them.  The bed next over were the Black Russians and the Yellow Devils.  These were really hidden but there were only a few to get out although they were at the back of a thick jungle.  There were also zucchini, about 5 or 6 of them on the fence.  It had been an hour getting these out so I left those for tomorrow.  I have been eating cherry tomatoes like chocolates all day.

Huge harvest

I thawed some frozen zucchini slice and added a pan load of cherry tomatoes

Also did another swim. Very calm this time around.
