I'm sorry we haven't been able to spend much time together in the last few months, but you know how it is. You make me sneezy and hivey, dear garden. Oh I know it's not your fault that I can't touch cucumber plants and potato plants and, well any furry plant that you grow. I also know it's not your fault that your pollen and grasses render me useless without copious amounts of antihistamine and a good lie down in a darkened room.
I know you've seen me peering jealously from behind a closed window as the other gardener tends you, plants you and harvests you. But you can rest assured that I have been enjoying the harvest.
And I'm enjoying cooking with it and eating it too.
I pray that the desensitising injections work and we can meet again this coming spring.
Until then, I remain your faithful, if absent, friend,

It must be so frustrating !
ReplyDeleteI have had great results from Jungle Brolly's Hand Shield lotion (from my local pharmacy - made in SA). Rub it into my hands and arms before gardening and voila! no nasty plant-engendered skin reaction. Also keeps the dirt out. Absolutely no help against the sneezes though, of course.
ReplyDeleteHow frustrating to be kept out of your garden - but what lovely produce and meals. I'm a little envious!
ReplyDeleteOh no! How frustrating for you. Hopefully you can get back in there next Spring.
ReplyDeleteOh no - I am so lucky not to have that issue with the garden - although I do have to be careful about gloves.
ReplyDeleteYour produce looks beautiful - and the eggplant particularly lush.
wow - that looks DELISH
ReplyDeleteWe're all hoping they can 'make it work' with your desensitising injections too - max says Tim Gunn won't be the same without you! =)

I too have been lamenting a summer without a vegie garden, but unlike you lucky person have no other interested party to tend to my patch...enjoy your harvest!
ReplyDeleteoh thats making me hungy and i just had breakfast.
ReplyDeleteOh no to be unable to escape to the garden would be horrible, I do hope your desensitisation works.
ReplyDeleteHow frustrating! I hope the injections work!
