Today is my only day off from what has become my job even though I don't actually get paid for it, despite rumours to the contrary.

I mean I'm still doing client work, but I guess I'm semi-retired.

Today I intend to garden as hard as I need in order to restore balance to my brain before dealing with the unwieldy pile of client stuff I've ignored for the last several days.

Nature doesn't give a flying fuck what else you have going on in your life. The tomatoes are going to ripen, the garlic needs to be planted, and the skunks are apparently going to eat my strawberries if I don't.

I have to figure out how I'm going to get on top of the canning for the year, or all this produce is going to go to waste.

Oh yeah, I really wanted to finish up my mini-encyclopedia of the varieties I grow, which I probably haven't added to in at least a month. Gah.

I'm hoping this optimistic wild strawberry is right and it will be able to fruit before the first frost.

The Environment Canada forecast says it's wrong.

@EricLawton

Do you have a tiny cloche to protect it?

@Gigi

If I could remember where it was, I could bring it in.

One last super-sweet berry!

Near the compost bins, I think.
