First crop from my tomato plants!
There are loads on the plants still green, so I may be making green tomato chutney if they don't hurry up and ripen, as it's so wintery there could well be a frost soon!
They were lovely in a salad last night, together with some runner beans from my normal neighbour's dog walker's garden, with roasted vegetable lasagne! YUM! The aubergines are the size of tennis balls now, so I shall pick them soon.
On the green front, I have finally received the yarn for my Mystery Stole 4 and decided on the bead choice.
The yarn is Lane Borgosesia merino laceweight in olive and the beads are 3 different colours. I don't do things the easy way.
Now to decide, do I swatch, or just go for it?????

I've not heard that "red and green should never be seen" before but a schoolfriend once criticised one of my outfits by saying "blue and green should never be seen" (this was in Norfolk, so maybe it is a local thing?).
Speaking of green, I totally adore your yarn and bead combo, but the thought of stringing all those beads in the right order is making me feel woozy (even if the right order is a random one!).
You should swatch! That first beaded row of MS4 is so time consuming, that you'll be kicking yourself if your needle/bead choices don't work out the first time. It's worth the swatch to save the frustration!
I like the green and the beads, I say just go for it but then I am bad and never swatch!
Your MS4 yarn is beautiful - hope you're using all the different bead shades, as they'll look fantastic!
I always used to be told never to wear navy and brown - of course, it always made me want to wear that colour combo all the more!
Lovely toms - we have a glut! If you pick your green ones now and put them on a sunny windowsill, then should ripen up a bit quicker.
