Re: harvesting my veg.
Nice to hear you ae enjoying your garden and what it has given you in
return. I in return have not been so lucky with my garen this year. Very dry
weather and not much from the garden.Even the weeds did not grow well. A
blessing I suppose but pretty discouraging when you put a lot of effort in
the garden and nothing in return. However I am not giving up will try it
again next year and do hopwe it will be better.Do enjoy your holidays and
have some fun making your wine when you return. Romeo NewBrunswick Canada
