Part-time hermit. Often found pottering in the gardens here in my corner of Maine. Odd penchant for truth, kindness and basic human decency. Enjoys cheese.

I feel very fortunate we have such an ideal garden spot. About 2 1/2 acres of woods out of 3, but we have the best place of all of it for the vegetable garden.

We found the seed at Fedco. Can't wait to grow them again next year. 😊🍅🍅🍅

It's been a great year, despite the drought. So thankful! 😊

There's something so satisfying about harvesting root crops. Perhaps because you can't tell if anything grew until you start harvesting. The mystery!

Aosta Valley cherry tomatoes.

They're the BEST tomato I've ever grown. Started them from seed in late April & they're still going after 2 frosts! I've made quarts of sauce from them, the tastiest I've ever made.

They have a great story if you want to Google them.

I give them 4++ stars!

They are so good. Homegrown carrots are one of my favorites. 😊

More harvests as I start to take down the vegetable garden. Look at those carrots! We've never grown such big ones - and in a drought, too. Loads of onions, the last of the potatoes & a few winter squash. Still to pick: cabbages, leeks, celery, tomatoes & zucchini. This has been the nicest day! 👩‍🌾🥕🥔🧅

In case anyone wonders if Buddy still just stares at me for hours on end. Yes. Yes, he does. 💗
