Garden On Steroids

Don't really know where to begin talking about the garden this year, it's been proceding at ludicrous speed!

Here are the highlights;

Already harvested bulb onions (though I confess I started them in six packs a couple weeks before going into the ground).

My Bhut Jolokias are three foot tall, three foot diameter, and already outgrew a five gallon bucket--they're in a ten gallon now.

Harvested my bucket grown Yukon Gold potatoes already.

Four kinds of mint--chocolate, pineapple, apple, and spearmint.

Stevia--for the first time, going to try and use some to make juice. Thought about wine, but don't know if it will work, has anyone tried by chance?

Everything is at least two weeks ahead this year too, I'm going to try a second crop of super sugar snap peas, radishes, and mayber even new potatoes.....we'll see.

Try and get some new pics up soon.

Garden on!

VT State Parking It!

Been major slacking in the blog dept.....working on it, but busy, and no internet @ house.
Anyways, been gardening like a mad man, and lovin life.

But hey, my newest favorite thing to do this summer--Vermont state parking it!

Honeymooned in VT state parks a couple years back. Maidstone SP in the kingdom, and Coolidge SP in south-central VT. Had a great time, but hadn't gotten back into the swing of it till this summer.

Discovered it was a great way to get away for a couple days, and bring the dog along too! Been to Half Moon SP for a weekend, frequently @ Grand Isle SP (did you know there's one in Louisiana too?), and headed to Gifford Woods SP this next. Nothing like peace, quiet, campfires, and cast iron skillets.

Well, hope everyone else is enjoying the great summer weather this year also!
