July Update

Quick update from the vegetable garden.  So far we've been able to harvest radish, bak choy, red lettuce, and mint the past few weeks.  With his year's late start to Spring and some very extreme weather conditions in Toronto we've been getting this summer (it's either cold, very rainy, or extremely hot and humid), I would say we're having "medium" success with the vegetables so far.....

Still, I'm very thankful any vegetable we've been able to harvest - food straight from the backyard, it really doesn't get any more "local" and organic than that.  Plus, there's just something very satisfying about food that I've planted from seeds..... 

The Caspian Pink tomatoes are finally starting to bloom.  The blossoms are small but quite beautiful actually.  And I really love the smell of the tomato plant..... 

Lettuce are doing quite well in the one planter that is on the shadier side of the deck :) 

And cucumbers are coming!  Waiting for this first one to be ready.... I think it's almost there!
