If it weren't for my gardens and flowers, my children would probably be dead....or at the very least think their mother was some crazed beast. To me there is nothing more calming then a plot full of weeds that need pulling. The poopy smell of this hobby is actually a bit exhilarating.

Congratulations, Brian..

On your vegatable garden success. This is also my first banner year (perhaps it is because of the rain) - for my own Strawberries, Blueberries, Peppers, tomatoes and squash and even corn.

You know something has changed in you when you're darn right excited about your own monster zuchinni. Good luck!

Nothing like eating supper and saying - "wow, we grew this.." and of course helps save the shekels in these tough economic times.

For a few summers I’ve driven by local food stands like Belmore Farms in Greenfield wanting to turn in and pick up some fresh vegetables.

Every time that I drive by I think back to when I was a kid visiting a dairy farm that belonged to a friend of our family who lived in southern Quebec. I remember trading a quarter for an empty 25 pound sized potato sack and heading off to fill the bag that was bigger than I was with as many ears of corn that I could drag back to the barn.
