Conjoinment

I have been growing courgettes for the past forty years. I understand that Italians, Americans and Australians use the term "zucchini"  but here in Great Britain we side with the French. To us they are "courgettes".

Once established, they are pretty easy plants to grow and in a good year they will keep on fruiting for a few weeks as a succession of trumpeting yellow flowers summon bees and other pollinators.

Until this summer, I have never spotted conjoined courgettes. They have always been single specimens. But this year - on different plants - I have managed to produce two sets of Siamese courgettes. I had no idea that this was even possible.

As you know, the camera never lies, and after picking the twins this very evening, I decided to photograph them for you and for posterity too.

Age

 The burn

Feels so good

Never thought

I’d say hard work

In the form

Of muscle

Would make

Me deliriously happy

As if 

I’d won

The lottery

The joys

Change

As we are

Privileged to age
