Vacation is over and back to the torch!

A week of vacation time has flown by and I realized that we are into the last real month of summer here on the east coast of Canada. We have had a very rainy summer and today I am looking out to almost 50mm of rain that fell today.

The garden is soggy and seems to not have a chance to dry out enough between rains. So fingers crossed that August brings more sun for the tomatoes and green beans!

All sets in this post are now SOLD.
