Yes, that would sort of fit that aspect - but you can also go from bits of woods to sticks if you ar...

Meanwhile, back home...

While I was away having fun, things were going on back home. Garden things, mostly - the lawn growing like crazy, just like the willow fence. But also nicer, more edible ones:

The beef tomatoes (a variety I've had not much success with these past years) actually resulted in one plant with a decent yield. The seeds will be taken today, and I hope that there will be more of the same huge things in the future (note the rather large peanut included for something like a scale...)

Also, the peach tree is actually growing peaches this year, and most of them are still there, and growing. They will be ripe enough for harvest in a few days, I think - the first one has already fallen down, and it was still rather firm but already edible.

The other usual accumulated stuff? I'm still catching up on the last bits of it. Some of it was easy, like deleting a gazillion of emails from various social platforms and clearing out the junk folder; some were, as usual, quick to deal with through a short reply, and some need more work, so they are still sitting there, making the inbox a bit fatter than I like to have it.

There was also a rather large post-office run:

for which the Beach Rolly (originally bought for its primary* original purpose, which is canoe portaging) proved to be very helpful. Yay for multi-purpose tools!

*It actually has three original purposes as intended by the manufacturer: canoe portaging, hauling other stuff as a sack barrow, and serving as a comfy seat with backrest. It has seen use in all three of these, though the canoe portaging time is by far the smallest amount of the use-hours. Being used as a seat? By far the largest. It really is comfy!

Those peaches are very late, comparing to our peaches. Mine were eaten weeks ago.

Our tomatoes are doing great. I have Cerise, a small red tomato thathas wonderful flavour and is very sweet, Sungold, orange and also quite sweet, but prone to bursting. At a market stall where we bought a book on tomato growing, we were given 5 plants extra, two Pink Bumblebee, nice colour but not much taste, two Brandywine, very big and juicy tomatoes and one Russian Black, of wich we haven't had any fruits yet, since theyrot befire ripening. The Cerise still makes me stop what I'm doing to enjoy it without disturbances. It tasts great. I hope I'll be able to bring some of the last fruits when we meet.

Yes, I was amazed at how early you wrote about your peach harvest. I don't mind this year, though, because earlier would have meant that we might not have been here to eat them!

Your cerise tomatoes do sound delightful - sometimes, these red things are just the thing to make one's day. The Brandywine also sound interesting.
Have you taken seeds from your favourite fruits?
