I am not talking Buster Poindexter or The Cure lyrics – depending upon your musical taste — I’m talking the weather. Looks like summer is making a comeback and going out on Labor Day with a bang.
Despite getting a late start, the garden is doing great. The past few nights we’ve enjoyed fresh lettuce, cucumbers, broccoli and snow peas.
This head of broccoli measured at least 8 inches across – one head was enough for all of us for dinner. Chicken and goat poop are good for the garden evidently.
So much for that fall weather – the tomatoes must have a leg up with Mother Nature. The forecast here is calling for record breaking temperatures mid week in the 90s. Add watering to the list of things to do during the week.

Tammy – the garden looks just delicious! It’s so much more inviting looking than the produce “laying” around my local supermarket! Every Sunday – May through October, Ramsey hosts a “Farmers Market” at the local train station. There are vendor selling fresh produce from the farms, honey, fresh breads, pies, donuts – it almost feels like your home! It’s my favorite Sunday chore!!! Perhaps the T’s should open up their own “Farmers Market” … I would surely make the trip! “Build it and the will come!” … Cathy xoxo

Its your fault, you published a hastened fall forcast, now we all have to suffer. When I was sitting in my truck soaking wet to my skivies today, I was thinking of you and wishing for a 65 degree fall day in VT….Ahhhhh
