GARDEN IS THRIVING

It’s been a great season for gardening this year and we are in the midst of production.  

LOTS OF TOMATOES

SWEET AND HOT PEPPERS

Even though we only put in a few plants of each type of vegetable, some of them produce so much that we can’t keep up with consuming them.  We give away as much as we can.

YELLOW ZUCCHINI 

BUTTERNUT SQUASH

EGGPLANT

CUCUMBERS

Our plum tree has fruit this year for the first time and even though it is a small crop, they should taste good.

And our peach tree (which was tagged as a nectarine when we purchased it) has survived a couple of windstorms resulting in broken branches, but is producing beautiful fruit.

We are enjoying our new deck and have been taking a break from major projects.  Golf has been our number one recreation for the past while and we’ve been able to get out on the course about twice a week.  

Last week, we took the boat out to Christina Lake for fishing and swimming.  We each caught and released a small trout which is better than not catching anything at all.  And the swim was great with a water temperature of 22.9 C.

Not too much else to report right now.  The next big project will be staining sections of fence when the weather gets a little cooler.
