Its been a while

I have to say, its been a long couple of months since I last posted.  Unfortunately my attention has been devoted to a ruptured Achilles tendon that I managed to snap playing touch football.  While its has been a difficult couple of months, (much of which has been off my feet) I've realized how much I enjoy being out in the garden.  Against DR's orders, I have managed to do some gardening and got many of my heirlooms in before "the snap heard round the field".  The little bit of gardening I have done has rendered a messy yet productive garden full of cucumbers, spinach, broccoli, beans, herbs, lettuce and of course... heirloom tomato plants. While we haven't had the most ideal tomato growing spring and summer here in SW Ontario, many of us are starting to see our heirlooms begin to mature.  This is the time of year that our spring garden labouring begins to pay off.  All in all, I'm happy to be back blogging just in time for harvest season.  Below are a few pics I took towards the end of July.
