Back from Vacation

Our vacation to Northern Ontario was very relaxing... except for the frequent concerns about the weather in Boston and the state of our garden. We were unable to find a substitute waterer for the gardens and were forced to do the Rain Dance in Huntsville, ON. Unfortunately, all of the rain fell in ON and the garden was left dry. It turned out ok afterall, the plants are large and could sustain themselves through a semi-drought. Here are some of the first fruits of the garden! The green squash are WAY TOO BIG, they should have been picked a few days ago but we were gone. The larger of the squash is easily over a foot long. We also harvested some turnips, onions and basil. The tomatoes are still 2 to 3 weeks away from being ready.





On a sad note: The LCD screen on our canon sureshot is busted and it is now very difficult to take photos with the tiny viewfinder. We are working on a solution, but please forgive us if the photos seem a little off for the next few weeks. I'll try to take good shots of the garden soon, you will not believe the difference compared to the previous photos. Enjoy!

Hi Folks:
Sorry we couldn't give you better weather here is Huntsville, Ont., but any day on vacation is much better than the best day at work!
If you haven't tossed those "too large green squash"(zucchin) i can give you a great recipe if you would like it.
Best regards from Huntsville.
