PARIS

A small success is that I have a frog in the front garden. Whilst there is plenty of foliage at present I will have to investigate what to do for it in winter? Tomatoes are still slow at ripening although the crop is good. Chilli also looks to be loaded, I will have to occasionally starve it for heat? Apples looking good this year. And apricot tree might bear fruit next year with luck.

I took Millie out of the fridge yesterday and made the poulis overnight. Folding hourly this morning and then leave to rise until early evening, so tomorrow will be baguette day – I will experiment with a garlic and tomato paste – so basilmand a little salt and olive oil? We will see! Eat with cheese!
