I'm back....

It has been quite some time since I have blogged and I want to thank you Lisa, for keeping the blog going....and hope to hear more from Zee too...
Most of my vegetable garden is planted and that feels so good! I have a few pickling cukes to get in and a couple of rows of bush beans, but last week I was able to get the tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, zuchinni, squash, melons, carrots and beets in. I also finished my little bean arbour and planted two kinds of pole beans. The second block of greens has already popped through the soil and we've been eating our way through the first batch. SO TASTY! The lettuce seedlings survived the 32+ temperatures last week (barely) and the new lettuce seeds that I started are also up. I am anxious to be able to eat more out of the garden...especially the sugar snaps! The lovely rain we are having today is badly needed and will give the plants a good deep soak.
I really enjoyed our annual Plant swap last weekend and was so happy to see people that I don;t get to see often enough. It was a wonderful day of family, friends, plants, food and chatting. What more could you want! Next year is our tenth year of hosting the Blue Mountain Plant swap....we will have to think of a special way to commemorate it!
In my next blog I hope to share the story of the ongoing "Potato Wars"....
