September Garden

 Summer started late this year and it’s taken until now for some plants to flower. And the tomatoes are ripening too - I thought I’d be making green tomato chutney.  We’ve had three unexpected hot and sunny September days now.  A nice bonus though the ground is very dry and the water butts are empty.  Won’t mind if we get a thunderstorm tomorrow and some much needed rain. 

I’m still getting used to the idea of September without a return to school.  It’s still a time for new starts though.  Need to return to better exercise and diet habits after the summer’s overindulgence. A friend has persuaded me to go to a Hula Hoop fitness class later today.  I haven’t done any hula-hooping since primary school so I might not be able to do it, but I’ll have a go.
