artsyhonker1) What did you plant?
I sowed plenty! Leeks and tomatoes and squashes (several kinds), beans, peas, carrots, beetroot, spinach, chard, parsnips, courgettes, celery, celeriac, fennel, dill, thyme, watermelon, cucamelon, nasturtiums, marigolds, poppies, potatoes...
Some of these were sown in spring rather than summer, of course. And we're pretty firmly into autumn now by any measure, here.
2) What was your favorite summer food?
Probably the strawberries. Blueberries and black raspberries were quite good, too. And the purple beans, of course.
3) What song will remind you of this summer?
Probably my setting of "The Sick Rose" for SSSAAATTTBBB. When I composed it I wasn't thinking of contagion, but it works very well for that concept.
4) What was your favorite body of water to be in?
... the bath? I wasn't in any other bodies of water, sorry.
5) What's been your favorite outfit?
For allotment visits, lightweight trousers with pocketses, a vest or t-shirt, and a linen button-up shirt worn as a cardigan to prevent sunburn. Tilley hat.
For other warm days, my go-to clothing has usually been some or other floaty lightweight cotton dress.

Date: 2020-10-02 07:47 pm (UTC)I gave up trousers, skirts and dresses without pockets a while back. Now if it doesn't have pockets I don't wear it.
(I do get a lot of my clothing from eShakti, which has a lot of dresses with pockets. I'm tall enough that I can't often find things that fit me in shops anyway.)
